🎉My first first-author paper is out! We found which wastewater microbes are the true hard workers, and how immigration and geography together play a big role - even in tiny Denmark! 🦠💪 More regional studies are needed to uncover the real real MVPs!

My poster might be down, but I’m still at #ISME19! Let’s talk about how geography and immigration influence our wastewater treatment microbes and how we can recover more resources. 🌍💧♻️ @midasguide @PHNLab

Our massive project "Microflora Danica: the atlas of Danish environmental microbiomes" is online!

5 years ago @PerHNielsen and I started the project of our dreams! To reveal the microbes of an entire country! But, why? 🧵Read on 1/

I'm thrilled that "Nanomotif" is live! While its a short read - it was a journey of 3 years - and hopefully sparks a decade of exploitation! Why am I so excited by Identification and Exploitation of DNA Methylation Motifs in Metagenomes using Nanopore? https://t.co/sYzOmFLdrQ 1/

A lot of rethinking was done during our second project workshop at @AarhusUni. Great progress in all labs!

[Sofie Zacho Vestergaard @sofie_zacho]

What an excellent #mewe23 conference in Australia! Proud to give a talk on all our microscopic wastewater treatment superheroes and their biogeographical patterns in Denmark 🦠
Cheers, Australia, for a nice time! @PHNLab @midasguide

[Sofie Zacho Vestergaard @sofie_zacho]

Started @mewe2023 helping out on the @midasguide workshop. Showing the magic of microbial community analysis of WWTPs. Thanks to all participants! What a success💧🧫

[MIDAS Field Guide @midasguide]

It is great to see so many attending our MiDAS workshop at #mewe2023! 🧬👩🏻‍💻🧑‍💻🇦🇺 @PerHNielsen @msdueholm Yu Yang @sofie_zacho and @marieriisgaard are there and ready to share 😃

[MIDAS Field Guide @midasguide]

📢 Exciting news! MiDAS 5: Global diversity of bacteria and archaea in anaerobic digesters by @msdueholm and others is out now! Explore AD microbes using our updated MiDAS database and taxonomy, available for download from https://t.co/qVRUVpDFah 🧬🔬🌍 https://t.co/bToxLLhZan

[Marie Riisgaard-Jensen @marieriisgaard]

🌊 Exciting news! My debut as a first author! Delighted to share my newly published paper delving into how primary settling impacts microbial communities in WWTPs. Read now: https://t.co/FvnOj5hNI7.

How can we improve the catalogue of methane eaters and related genes? @KnudsenKalinka showing us the way to pick the right samples for deep @nanopore sequencing. #nanoporeconf #LC2023 #MicrofloraDanica

[Mark van Loosdrecht  @MarkvLoosdrecht]

First full team meeting of the @REThiNk_nnf program, developing value from wastewater through microbes. @TNWTUDelft @AarhusUni @#Aalborguniversity hosted by @PHNLab

[Sofie Zacho Vestergaard @sofie_zacho]

Proud co-author on this one. Go check it out!

[REThiNk @REThiNk_nnf]

Fantastic opening of NNF Challenge project: Recovery of extracellular polymers from wastewater treatment residuals as a new circular biopolymer – REThiNk. 🎉

[Sofie Zacho Vestergaard @sofie_zacho]

Looking for microbes in 10,000 samples around DK, including water ways. If you are at #IWA CPH come to poster 152 and chat about natural sources and microbial immigration into wastewater treatment plants🦠🕵️‍♀️ or discuss Microflora Danica and its 10,000 samples. #WorldWaterCongress

[MIDAS Field Guide @midasguide]

MiDAS team is here at the #WorldWaterCongress ready to spread the word about microbes and learn from world leading water professionals #phnlab #wwce #aalborguni
