Nice work!

Super excited that I’ve been selected as a Simons Early Career Investigator in Aquatic Microbial Ecology and Evolution. We will explore how marine microbes shape the production, transformation, and fate of dissolved organic matter. Thanks so much @simonsfoundation.org We can’t wait to get started!

Woo-hoo! Our MetaboArt proposal won a prize in AI art at #Metabolomics2025. 🥰 Title: #Cyanobacteria Metabolomics Big thanks to @emn-metsoc.bsky.social #MetaboArt #Metabolomics2025 #MetSoc25

Interested in natural product producing microorganisms? 🦠 See you in Berlin... 😀

Our group photo ❤️. Big thanks to all participants for their contributions.

Soil-dwelling Actinomyces bacteria have been found to synthesize hypermethylated ribosomal peptides, which serve as surface-active agents and promote the growth of aerial, reproductive structures www.nature.com/articles/s41...

If you have a background in #photosynthesis, N₂-fixing cyanobacteria, or photosynthetic biotechnologies, consider applying for a postdoctoral position in @photomicrobeslab.bsky.social group @utu.fi, Finland. tinyurl.com/4b4nvyn6

Nice work!

A group leader position to work on cyanobacteria is open at Paris Saclay University, France. Further information in the attached image.

Wow, they found fungal hyphae inside the sheaths of nitrogen-fixing cyanobacteria! Usually with these types of symbiosis it's the other way around, with bacteria growing inside their host. This is supercool!🧪 www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

~5y ago, Barbara, Serina, @marnixmedema.bsky.social & I teamed up to make a better NRPS A-domain specificity predictor. The Challis group & others joined along the way to add some very cool insights. Very proud of this work. Check it out now on biorxiv! doi.org/10.1101/2025...

We are pleased to share our new paper in which we have investigated the role of microcystin in a synthetic community of Microcystis and phycosphere bacteria. #ISMEcomms #cyanobacteria academic.oup.com/ismecommun/a...

Cytosine N4-methylation by the DNA methyltransferase M.Ssp6803II is required for the proper expression level of protoporphyrinogen IX oxidase, HemJ. All details in our new paper in DNA Research: academic.oup.com/dnaresearch/...

Excited to share that our latest review on glycopeptide antibiotic biosynthesis has been published! This article is written with non-experts in mind, providing an accessible overview of the biosynthesis of these fascinating natural products. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... #NatProd #SecMet

#Microcystins can be modified with click chemistry to turn into potential anticancer drugs. By the @timoniedermeyer.bsky.social lab. @niedermeyer-lab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1021/acs....

The 13th International Conference on Toxic #Cyanobacteria, 4-8 May 2025, #Chania, #Crete, #Greece. Abstract submissions 20 Dec 2024. Follow us to get updates about #ICTC13. www.ictc13.gr #cyanotoxins #water #lake #teammassspec #ecology #waterquality #sequencing #multiomics #metabolomics #genomics

We have a DFG-funded Phd position for 3 years to study gene regulation in cyanophages. This is at Cyanolab in beautiful Freiburg/Germany, from Jan 2025, or later. More details here: cyanolab.de/index.php

It's Monday, November 18. We have left twitter and from now onwards, we start posting all kind of cyanobacteria-related content here in Bluesky: articles, preprints, research calls, fellowship calls, PhD and post-doc positions... If you have anything relevant for cyanobacteriologists, PM or tag us.

I have now decided to join the blue universe after all. I would like to network with everyone who is interested in #cyanobacteria, #natural_products, #biosynthesis and #microbial_interactions.🦠
