Interested in how arbuscular mycorrhizal communities change in response to plant diversity and soil history? Come see me at my poster (P162) at #GSB2023 to see some nice results from the @jena_experiment

Did you know the newly discovered diversity of relatives of #Legionella in #amoebae? We described #Pokemonas and #Fiscibacter! Here we see a picture of endosymbiotic #Legionellales #bacteria in this #Cercozoa #protist. Read more: https://t.co/3gVPRl9Qbc Picture by @marcsolart.

Celebrating the start of our collaboration on #microbial #marine #foodwebs with a good German #beer. #Predator-prey and #parasite-host relationships involving protists. -with @KasiaPiwosz

Did you ever wonder how #gutparasites behave once you flush them down the toilet and whether they survive #wastewater treatment? A thread about our new Microbiome publication. #protists @ISOP #parasites

Interestingly, 𝙍𝙝𝙤𝙜𝙤𝙨𝙩𝙤𝙢𝙖 𝙢𝙞𝙣𝙪𝙨 hosts Legionellales (a common waterborne human pathogen) as endosymbionts. For more information please see Pohl, Solbach, & Dumack 2021 (https://t.co/yAEp48zfju). #MidweekMicrobe

The wastewater protist Rhogostoma minus (Thecofilosea, Rhizaria) is abundant, widespread, and hosts Legionellales: Nina Pohl et al. https://t.co/lAC4LBFhoW #protists

New bacteria named after Pokémon because we gotta catch (at least discover) ‘em all https://t.co/xFI6xzyEU9 via @syfy

[Marcel Dominik Solbach @MarcSolArt]

@KDumack @Bulbagarden Good question! I also don't quite remember who had the idea first, but we had this idea pretty early! Other names were in discussion, like "Pokebacter", but the idea for "Pokemonas" was mentioned by someone during one of our lunch breaks. Let's just say it was a team effort! 😃

'Pokemonas': Bacteria related to lung parasites discovered, named after #Pokémon https://t.co/G4ki7RA4VO via @UniCologne @EurekAlert
