Want to know who’s replicating and who’s just hanging out in your enrichment cultures? Our new study led by @soansi.bsky.social shows how @nanoporetech.com long-read sequencing can reveal replication states, shedding light on microbial growth. 🦠🧬 See our latest publication: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

I just submitted an article to a journal in under 10 min! I'm stunned that there are eventually submission portals that extract all necessary information (with AI?) from manuscripts when it comes to authors, affiliations, or funding statements. I'm impressed! (journal: Microbiome)

🦠 #OilReservoirs harbor unseen microbial worlds! 🌍🔬 @alexjprobst.bsky.social lab study of a pristine reservoir reveals bacteria & fungi breaking down #hydrocarbons—and a global network of shared genes. But the mystery of plasmid distribution pattern remains! 🧬 #Biodegradation https://buff.ly/4gwdYUJ
