We are hiring! If you're interested in exploring the #biogeography of #prokaryotes using #genomics and #metagenomics, are interested in biology and geographic information systems, and are passionate about #OpenScience, this is for you! New PhD and PostDoc positions in my lab at Aalborg University

📢 New paper in @nature.com Microbes rock 🎸🤘 with sulfide and iron minerals I am very excited to share our recent study, which describes a previously unknown microbial energy metabolism ⚡⚡⚡🦠🧫⚡⚡⚡ 🆕 Microbial iron oxide respiration coupled to sulfide oxidation - MISO www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Our article showing energy production from air alone is in PNAS today. This paper provides an ultimate biochemical proof that microbes can survive simply by 'making' energy from air (making two ATP per molecule atmospheric H2 consumed) and has biotech applications. www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

Yes, having a spirit of reconciliation is a way forward. There is hope to mitigate the aggressiveness of those who have not wanted to understand! Thanks MIRRI @pravrahi.bsky.social & thanks @seqcode.bsky.social for the against-stream efforts! 💪🏽

Last work from the lab in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social ! We review the most recent evidence on the strategies deployed by Klebsiella to counteract host defences. www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... The co-evolution with the immune system has taught the bug a couple of tricks!!!

🚨 PhD opportunity to join my group at UEA investigating genetic markers and mechanisms of CO dehydrogenase regulation in response to atmospheric mercury. Deadline 1st January 2025. UK “home” students only (uni rules for this call) #PleaseRT www.findaphd.com/phds/project...

Microbial species? OK, but... how? Ecological cohesiveness, coupled to unbiased horizontal gene flow, may account for the observed species and intraspecies clusters @ramonix.bsky.social @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social #microNatComms #microbiology 🦠 Read the paper: www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Roig

Long-term ecological #research projects apart from being highly demanding, it deserves extra respect from the scientific community; funding agencies should consider the benefits of such projects #ecology #science #nature #evolution @ipbes.bsky.social @esci.bsky.social doi.org/10.1038/s415...
