Isidora Morel Letelier

PhD student at the Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology studying the eco-evolutionary dynamics of bacterial symbionts

[Isidora Morel Letelier @isimorel]

Natural experiments, like the closure of the Isthmus of Panamá, can reveal the fascinating mechanisms of bacterial evolution. Our new paper shows how horizontal gene transfer helped chemosynthetic symbionts survive in the Caribbean Sea after this event.

The Isthmus of Panama separated them, now these lucinid symbionts live different lifes: @isimorel @benedict_yuen @M_helvetiae et al show the role of #HGT in bacterial #adaptation & impact of #nitrogen availability on ecological divergence

You might have heard of lucinid clams. Beautiful white clams that can be found at the beach, in seagrass beds, or in mangrove roots.

Happy 1st of December to everybody!! Still at the #istmobiome workshop discussing tipping points in beneficial animal-microbial interactions. And opening the first present from my daughter. Missing my family. @stri_panama @MooreFound @isimorel

We had our very first group meeting today as Eco-Evolutionary Interactions Group 💕
And it was @CarlottaKueck's first days as a Ph.D. candidate!!! @MarineMicrobio @isimorel @benedict_yuen

[Isidora Morel Letelier @isimorel]

@M_helvetiae @CarlottaKueck @MarineMicrobio @benedict_yuen 😍😍😍

[Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology @MarineMicrobio]

Finally officially announced: We are superhappy to welcome our new Max Planck Research Group Eco-Evolutionary Interactions, headed by @M_helvetiae and supported by @isimorel and @CarlottaKueck !! 🥳🎊

David Attenborough: where is the series on microbes? - the life that allows other life to exist. "The Microbial Planet". Ep 1: Our Microbial Planet. Ep 2: Microbes of land and sea. Ep 3: Great microbial cycles, Ep 4: Human microbes, Ep 5: Microbes in extremes etc. @BBC Get to it.

“It was thought that the ni­tro­gen for seagrasses comes from bac­teria that live around their roots. We now show that the bac­teria live inside the roots of the seagrass."

I just got an email from someone in the US asking me for advice on how to obtain samples from Latin American countries without having to recognise sample providers w/ authorship in the resulting paper. Needless to say I was furious. Friends, please don't do this #colonialscience

[Jeronimo Cifuentes @cifuentesjero]

My first first-author paper is out! 🎉🎉 If you like Antarctic marine microorganisms and rhodopsins as much as I do, I invite you to read it and share it! | @mSphereJ https://t.co/YJytoUE7at
