I'm proud to share these results in their final form and look forward to their impact on the field of methanogen research. If you're interested in a brief summary of the results, you can check out the thread I wrote for the pre-print version here: https://t.co/ivEHzBw1x6

Today on BioRXiv, I am excited to share the follow up work from our ISME Comms mesocosm story. The cultivation of Ca. Methanoglobus hypatiae from a hot spring in Yellowstone National Park.

My research on Ca. Methanoglobus hypatiae, one of the first methanogenic members of the Archaeoglobi, has been officially published in @ISMEJournal ! #archaea #methanogen #methane #metagenomics #metatranscriptomics #yellowstoneresearch https://t.co/7WCR6glbvh

I'm thrilled with how this story evolved, drawing on preliminary data and research from surveying 100 hot springs and screening a few with our mesocosm work. Not to mention checking off "naming an organism" from my microbial ecologist bucket list 😁🦠 https://t.co/k2rKkMU678

Big thanks to my coauthors for their insight in putting this story together @jay_zackary @Kohtzarchaeota @environmicrobio and to those who helped in the field! @shandman3000 @xcSquirrel @paige_schlegel1 @SchaibleGeorge #archaea #methane

Since I began anaerobic culturing ~10 yrs ago, I've been dreaming of a result like this and after an exciting journey, I am thrilled to report this success. Future work will help provide valuable insights into the evolution of CH4 metabolism & the significance of these organisms.

Thanks again to my coauthors who helped put this together including my co-first author Viola Krukenberg. A few months ago I posted a thread summarizing our findings here: https://t.co/LSCBmSwFh2

[Mackenzie Lynes @microbe_mack]

After 3+ years, I'm very excited to share the preprint for my first paper co-first authored by Viola Krukenberg that explores the diversity and function of Mcr-encoding archaea in hot springs of Yellowstone National Park. A highlight thread 🧵 (1/12) https://t.co/CCbh6j06vs

[Mackenzie Lynes @microbe_mack]

Proud to announce our mesocosm publication is out! It took an immense amount of work to tell this story and I'm excited to be able to share it now in its final form. #methane #methanogens #archaea #yellowstone #metagenomics https://t.co/AizHQhpx1W
