I am very excited to announce that a fully funded PhD position is available in my group:

Topic:
Metabolic trade-offs and regulatory changes as drivers of metabolic cross-feeding interactions in microbial communities

Deadline: 28.07.22

Today, @SaheliS95 from @BEELab_IISc visited us @UniOsnabrueck to give a great talk about predator-prey coevolution. This is amazing work Saheli. Thanks for your visit and keep up the good work. Looking forward to seeing this interesting work published.

Today we will have @SaheliS95 from @BEELab_IISc talking about her work on coevolving bacterial predator-prey communities at #MEEmeeting. Look forward to inputs from all at the workshop. @Siderophile @EvolvedBiofilm @nonresidentdesi @TanushJagdish

Special issue alert!
@SWielgoss and I are editing a special issue in the
@Genes_MDPI. The theme of this special issue will be "Genetic basis of sociality in diverse microbial communities".
Contributions from theory, field and experimental data are welcome

This has to be one of the coolest papers in recent times. The paper talks about the evolution of coexisting RNA-replicator diversity (authors call it coexistence) in a long-term RNA evolution experiment.

It's always nice to revisit the classics. Looking forward to going back to the basics with the Luria Delbruck paper in our journal club, tomorrow!

Looking forward to discussing this paper: https://t.co/dvn5B9v6Af in today's lab meeting!

@BEELab_IISc do not miss this opportunity. @bkoskella ‘s work on host-pathogen interactions, microbiomes is inspiring!

[BEE-Lab @BEELab_IISc]

In addition, Rekha P T also presented her own findings that are similar to some of the findings in the paper discussed. Overall a productive discussion with the team!

Had a fruitful lab meet yesterday where we discussed this paper: https://t.co/Mw37FU4RBZ. M. Xanthus' response to metabolic perturbation and initiation of development was studied using CRM chemical imaging.

A Science analysis of the cryogenic electron microscopy structures of the full-length spike trimers of the Delta, Kappa and Gamma variants of #SARSCoV2 has identified properties that might account for the Delta variant's heightened transmissibility. https://t.co/JBkKxsrvsH

Interesting review by the @edzewestra group on how phages shape natural bacterial communities!

Looking forward to discussing this paper:

Very cool use of metabarcoding to track predators in real time!

[Marco La Fortezza @lafortma]

Finally out! Hopefully the first of many others on microbial evo-devo.
