Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 @NatureMicrobiol
We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity.

I'm excited to share that I'll lead a new Center of Excellence for Metaproteomics, a joint venture between the University of Vienna and Bruker. This initiative will leverage cutting-edge mass spectrometry and AI to unravel the mysteries of the microbiome.

Fun, and some "lampenfieber" was had our first green screen video shoot. @Lou_tsia the recorded material, were we explain the global C and N cycles, will become part of the @univienna MOOC on Environmental Emergencies.
Very exciting to be part of it!

Important finding by @KerrinSteensen that non-tailed and filamentous prophages dominate over tailed prophages in Vibrio when using unbiased predictions. Lots of interesting biology uncovered as well.

@CUWelte Congratulations, Cornelia! Amazing news and well deserved. And so nice of you to highlight the "behind the scenes" components to often forgotten.
@kirk3gaard@illumina@aalborg_uni@nanopore@qiime2 Do you want to guess what we are up to @JMF_Vienna? ;)
The nostalgic relationship of many folks towards amplicons is, btw, not emotional but financial. They still have their place, even with primer biases in place.
very happy to see our work on water-soluble polymer biodegradation published in @EnvSciTech big congratulations @AKintzi on first phd publication! many thanks to collaborators, reviewers, and editor for all the support!
Check out our new preprint!
Thanks to magical skills of @KatarinaKajan we were able to go deep into metabolic niches developed along depth in an anchialine cave!

@environmicrobio monobromobimane derivatisation and HPLC.
https://t.co/kcoXcRsGSc has references for measurement of all relevant reduced sulfur species.
Job alert! 📢 I am offering a 2-year position for a bioinformatician. 💻 They will have to organise a database and pipeline to analyse antibiotic resistance genes. 🦠 The job is at the @mncn_csic and is funded by the Spanish National Plan. Contact me if you are interested!
