Two new PhD openings in the lab to study how horizontal gene transfer may be influenced by environmental cues, using the ICEclc system of Pseudomonas. Application deadline Nov 1, 2021; Check out : or contact me directly.

Congrats to Birge for her new study showing widespread toxicity of low antibiotics concentrations in freshwater and activated sludge communities, but also a few signs for potential biodegradation of some. More attention needed!

Publié dans @LeTemps du 20 juin 'Les pouvoirs magiques des excréments' par @MarieMaurisse montre l'importance du @NCCRMicrobiomes . "Les pouvoirs du caca sont encore inexplorés", comme les pouvoirs des microbiomes en général!.

RT @sylvielogean: L’étude de coprolithes (du 💩 fossilisé) millénaires montre que nos ancêtres avaient un #microbiote plus diversifié,comme….

New study on the global transcriptomic reactions of growing inoculant Pseudomonas veronii in non-sterile and contaminated soils just published Congrats to Marian,@NoushinHadadi and Vladimir!.

Proud to be bearer of my first @modernavaccine. Feel like a bioreactor, hope my cells know what to do! 😀What an amazing science/biotech development. Thanks @CantonVaud for this extremely efficient campaign!.

Sometimes I feel you can never read enough. So then attending a conference is like finding a rare jewel. "Oh wow, that is beautiful, how comes I didn't know that?" (embarrassing). Here is one on parasitic viruses in Vibrio heard #Microbio21.

Upcoming seminar @NCCRMicrobiomes by Willem de Vos on human gut microbiota in health and disease. May 4 12-13 h CET.

Excellent opportunity for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Clinical microbiome metagenomics within @NCCRMicrobiomes at the Deadline May 31, 2021. Apply

Is this why soil inoculants have little success in real life? Toluene-degrading Pseudomonas veronii (red) being attacked (killed?) by unknown soil bacterium. Image credits @ManupiyamD and Nikhil Kumari.

The good thing about Zooms: I have never participated in so many seminars and discussions as this year; the bad thing: yes, when was the last time you actually travelled to meet someone?.

More biking is needed and it is so easy! @biketoworkch @proveloschweiz

RT @DMF_UNIL: Congratulations to our director @SophieMartinLab for obtaining the ERC advanced grant! We’re super proud and happy for you an….

Better late than never 😬 If you are interested to explore bacterial cell recognition in communities by machine-learning approaches and

Lively discussion on the development of a new game on microbiomes with @Koboldgames for the @NCCRMicrobiomes. Having more fun with #microbiomes for everyone😊.

Getting a better understanding of interactions in soil microbial communities through random paired growth in beads Congratulations @ManupriyamD!.@NCCRMicrobiomes.
