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.

Great people had some great days at the #ItMatters-conference, organized by our #PhD students, sharing exciting knowledge, offering fruitful discussions & lots of fun, thanks to all participants from @mpi_marburg and @MarineMicrobio
There is a new logo!

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

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
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."
out now @Nature

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
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
