Check out our new publication where we focus on the interactions of the Zetaproteobacteria with their flanking community at Lō'ihi Seamount. In particular, genomic evidence for an anaerobic iron oxidizer, Candidatus Ferristratum sp. from the DTB120 phylum https://t.co/ilYjCvdYec

Validating the Cyc2 neutrophilic Fe oxidation pathway using meta-omics of Zetaproteobacteria iron mats at marine hydrothermal vents https://t.co/gF3ARV0zwx #bioRxiv

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

The Cyc2-based Fe oxidation pathway is widespread and highly expressed in neutrophilic Fe oxidizing organisms. In our new paper, we use meta-omics to explore the distribution and expression of cyc2 in the Zetaproteobacteria at Loihi, Mariana, and the MAR. https://t.co/amb8B55OEk

Have questions about the Zetaproteobacteria? Want to know what it means to find them in your samples? Check out our new review, which discusses our historical, ecological, and genomic perspectives on this marine Fe-oxidizing clade. https://t.co/5v0gjtkhRr

ZetaHunter is now peer reviewed and published with the @ASMicrobiology Journal #MicrobiologyResourceAnnouncements. Thanks for all the support! Check out our documentation on https://t.co/J5wJuP94G3

ZetaHunter: a reproducible taxonomic classification tool for tracking the ecology of the Zetaproteobacteria and other poorly-resolved taxa https://t.co/6Mkdt0uVol #bioRxiv

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

ZetaHunter is now released! Introducing the ZetaHunter program, designed for reproducible classification of 16S sequences from Zetaproteobacteria and other poorly-resolved clades in an OTU-based framework. Manuscript: https://t.co/eb1Yi06SsW

Can we please dispense with the lies? Regardless of whom you politically support, our nation’s well-being hinges upon our capacity to engage in and sustain honest dialogue. We are sliding towards dysfunction on our collective pile of lies. Speak truth, and we may yet remain free. https://t.co/NKdylUcDqm

@kmyoshimura Congrats back at you! You hit it out of the park!

So long #ISME16 , see you in Germany!

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

Monica Conthe gave a very nice talk with great organization and a successful use of a handwriting-like typeface. #ISME16

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

Nice talk @rleonzay ! #ISME16 over 40 underrepresented archael genomes recovered.

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

#ISME16 Kleiner. Metaproteomics good to est. rel. microbial biomass. Metagenomics better for est. of cell number. Which is more important?

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

Come by my poster 148B this afternoon to discuss Fe oxidation and denitrification gene expression in hydrothermal vents! #ISME16

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

#ISME16 really great talk on ANME-2d by Andy Leu. Looks like they can oxidize methane with Fe(III) and maybe Mn as an electron acceptors.

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

#ISME16 Murrell. SIP to separate active methylotroph community prior to metagenomics. Obtained near complete genomes of only their target!

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

@aaronmsaunders @archaearama Thanks Aaron! Great talk Karen!

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

#ISME16 Michael Wagner. Active microcolony genomes give a wider representation of the environment than can be assembled from metagenomes.

[Sean McAllister @FeHydro]

#ISME16 @rstepanauskas Single cell genomes can allow us to better understand population dynamics, which is complicated by >1 genome/cell.
