Underground happy hour?
Excited to share our discovery of a new symbiosis between subsurface bacteria and archaea bridged by syntrophic transfer of the smallest alcohol—methanol! @Nature

Work led by a former student Huang Yan, congratulations!

The first major body of work from my PhD is now up on BioRxiv!

We used AI-designed binders to block the uptake of heme from hemoglobin through ChuA, a heme transporter found in pathogenic E. coli. 🦠🩸🔬

I’m very grateful for my supervisors and all coauthors for their support!

[Meiling Han @DrMeilingHan]

We are HIRING 🎉🎉🎉
A postdoc position is available in my lab. We are looking for excellent young scientist to be working on Computational Metabolomics at the world-leading institute @MonashBDI @MonashUni #metabolomics #Bioinformatics #fluxomics

This is really amazing if you are into drought, soil microbes and fungi.
The methods used will be part of my ERC_project, #postdoc position deadline December 5th. More details below ⏬️

[Prof. Vincent Gauci @GauciGauci]

We seek 2 post docs to join our group working on atmospheric methane removal (AMR) in trees. These exciting projects (👇🏼) seek to build on our recent @nature discovery of global AMR by trees. These projects combine flux msrmnts, global modelling & microbial ecology. Pls RT 🙏🏼

[Rachel Whitaker @RachelJWhitaker]

We have extended the deadline to apply for two Assistant/Associate Prof in Microbiology positions at the University of Illinois through November! Come to the home of the Archaea! https://t.co/RR4Ax5xAPx

[Dr Zahra Islam @Zahra_F_Islam]

Very excited to have come on board as the co-chair for this event alongside @greeninglab! Climate change is an urgent issue, and microbes are the solution! PhDs, ECRs all have reduced rego for this event, so look out for that + abstracts announcements soon! #enviromicro

[Masaru K. Nobu @masarunobu]

Excited to share our new isolate from the phylum Fidelibacterota (formerly Marine Group A / SAR406 / Candidatus Marinimicrobia) via IJSEM, an effort led by T Katayama

Ethane-oxidizing #archaea (close relatives of #methanogens) channel electrons from ethane to F420. The Fpo complex oxidizes F420, producing an H+ gradient and transferring electrons to bacteria, possibly via #nanowires.

1/11 Excited to share our latest paper in @GenomeResearch: "Complete genomes of Asgard archaea reveal diverse integrated and mobile genetic elements" 🧬🦠 @BanfieldLab

[Chris Greening @greeninglab]

So excited to see this out! Aerated environments can be major sources of methane. This is due to the activities of aerotolerant methanogens. In the process, we show unexpected feedbacks between pollution and climate change. @ning_hall @MBiogeochem https://t.co/IZKdZqSY4x

I had never thought what goes into proposing a cover art for a science journal.

Having gone through it now, I wrote a blog post to share my experience as a scientist and to describe the beauties of working with a good idea & a talented graphics designer: https://t.co/jdgoS57vxY
