Two new PhD openings in the lab to study how horizontal gene transfer may be influenced by environmental cues, using the ICEclc system of Pseudomonas. Application deadline Nov 1, 2021; Check out : career5.successfactors.eu/ca… or contact me directly.
Congrats to Birge for her new study showing widespread toxicity of low antibiotics concentrations in freshwater and activated sludge communities, but also a few signs for potential biodegradation of some. More attention needed! frontiersin.org/articles/10.…

Publié dans @LeTemps du 20 juin 'Les pouvoirs magiques des excréments' par @MarieMaurisse montre l'importance du @NCCRMicrobiomes . "Les pouvoirs du caca sont encore inexplorés", comme les pouvoirs des microbiomes en général!

L’étude de coprolithes (du 💩 fossilisé) millénaires montre que nos ancêtres avaient un #microbiote plus diversifié,comme les chasseurs cueilleurs actuels. Sur cette base, faudrait-il réensemencer notre microbiote afin d’éviter l’apparition de pathologies? letemps.ch/node/1263778

New study on the global transcriptomic reactions of growing inoculant Pseudomonas veronii in non-sterile and contaminated soils just published environmentalmicrobiome.biom… Congrats to Marian,@NoushinHadadi and Vladimir!

Proud to be bearer of my first @modernavaccine. Feel like a bioreactor, hope my cells know what to do! 😀What an amazing science/biotech development. Thanks @CantonVaud for this extremely efficient campaign!

Sometimes I feel you can never read enough. So then attending a conference is like finding a rare jewel. "Oh wow, that is beautiful, how comes I didn't know that?" (embarrassing). Here is one on parasitic viruses in Vibrio kimseedlab.com/research heard #Microbio21

Is this why soil inoculants have little success in real life? Toluene-degrading Pseudomonas veronii (red) being attacked (killed?) by unknown soil bacterium. Image credits @ManupiyamD and Nikhil Kumari.

The good thing about Zooms: I have never participated in so many seminars and discussions as this year; the bad thing: yes, when was the last time you actually travelled to meet someone?
Sick of Zooms, webinars & remote meetings, really ...

Lively discussion on the development of a new game on microbiomes with @Koboldgames for the @NCCRMicrobiomes. Having more fun with #microbiomes for everyone😊
