Congratulations to Dr Iuliana Nita, [DTU, Bioengineering @cemist.bsky.social] on a successful PhD defense (& supervisor: Mikkel Bentzon-Tilia, co-supervosors: Arnaud Dechesne, Yannick Brijs). It was a pleasure to be on your assessment committee with @lonegram.bsky.social & Andreas Schramm (Aarhus)🇩🇰

PhD defence On Friday 14 March at 14:00, Rune Overlund Stannius will defend his PhD thesis: Sociomicrobiology of Secondary Metabolites Thanks to @dg.dk Danmarks Grundforskningsfond / The Danish National Research Foundation

Christmas @CeMiSt: Streptomyces lonegramiae arrived! A picky strain substratewise, 11½ Mbp genome & 45 biosynthetic gene clusters (antiSMASH). Excited to discover more! Thanks @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social @matissmaleckis.bsky.social @lingding.bsky.social @tuesparholt.bsky.social @Tilmann Weber @dg.dk

To honour Lone Gram’s significant contributions to microbial secondary metabolite research, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces lonegramiae (DSM 41529) after her. Fun Fact: Gram's great-grandfather developed the Gram stain 😉 #herstory #HonoringWomenInSTEM #WomenInScience #microbiology

Join us for a PhD study in Microbial Chemical Ecology! Are you passionate about exploring the hidden chemical language of soil microbes? We are offering a PhD scholarship to dive into secondary-metabolite-based regulatory networks in rhizobiomes! efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candid...
