Well it only took 13 years (or maybe ~1,600 generations) to get validated since the first publication, but now that it has entered its teenage years, Nitrosotalea is Candidatus no more! https://t.co/dFfdWz2xOn

Characterisation of isolated nitrite oxidiser Ca. Nitrobacter laanbroekii, originally enriched >35 years ago by Wietse de Boer during his PhD & named in honour of Riks Laanbroek. It also makes acidophilic Nitrosotalea behave a bit more like regular AOA!

Nitrobacter strain NHB1 is a nitrite-oxidising bacterium previously co-enriched with the neutrophilic ammonia-oxidising bacterium Nitrosospira AHB1, a consortium that nitrifies under acidic conditi...

Stable biogeochemical cycles and ecosystem functions rely on microbial population and diversity. @junzhaoME of @UF_IFAS aims to link soil taxonomy and the recovery of key biogeochemical processes after environmental disturbances. @UF_MCS @UFIFAS_FLREC @WMHMicEcolLab @graemewnicol

Despite bioRxiv doing some funky things to a few figures, pleased to see this out in the wild.
Excited to share our new preprint that describes in situ enrichment to capture high quality and complete virus genomes of soil nitrifiers! @mia_s_lee @CHazard99 @graemewnicol

Soil virus communities are diverse and dynamic but contributions to specific processes, such as nitrification, are largely uncharacterised. Chemolithoautotrophic nitrifiers perform this essential...

Excited to be working with the JGI and a multi-national team to study wetland viruses linked to C-cycling. @CHazard99 @ashish_a_malik @KarthikGeomicro @CaitySing @graemewnicol
Despite wetland viruses having substantial impacts on carbon cycling & biogeochemistry, our understanding is limited to a handful of field sites. @JEmersonmicro of @UCDavis will subject an array of samples to the same suite of omic analyses for comparison. https://t.co/pmjVmObGSE

Many thanks @jgi! Super excited to see what we discover 🧬🦠 … and with @graemewnicol @mia_s_lee and Huaiyu Wang
Microbes play a critical role in the global carbon cycle, yet the impact of viruses is unclear. @CHazard99 of @CentraleLyon will examine 'real-time' evolution of virus/host interactions in soil to understand their importance in biogeochemical cycles. @AmpereLab @EMG_Lyon

Wonderful to attend Jim Prosser’s retirement dinner and ceilidh. Jim was my mentor when I got my independent position. Thanks Jim for all your wise words and jokes! Lovely to see many dear @AbdnLifeScience colleagues, some from many years ago! Thanks @graemewnicol @UoABioSci

Another day, another record for the North Atlantic. Everything is happening so fast, it's hard to get a sense of the enormity of these anomalies, let alone their consequences.
