Shoutout to PIs: I’m currently looking for a host lab and a PI willing to collaborate on an #MSCA #Postdoctoral #Fellowship application. My expertise includes #MicrobialEcology, #Bioinformatics, #Ecophysiology, #Microbiology, and #MolecularBiology. Please feel free to reach out 🫶🏼

Our work on 'hidden diversity' in unbinned contigs is now published in @natmicrobiol.nature.com : www.nature.com/articles/s41... See the linked threads for more details!

Microbial ecological strategies is all about trade-offs between resource acquisition/survival/stress resistance/ dispertion and growth. CRS : report neg. rel. between competitive-, stress tolerance- and ruderal-associated traits. YAS : support high yield trading off with stress tolerance traits

#rhizosphere #exudates #cryforhelp Revisiting the cry-for-help hypothesis in plant-microbe interactions. 1. Stress-enhaced root exudation is rather a consequence of physiological adaptation, rather then a targeted recource allocation to recruit beneficial microbies.
