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. Check the full story here: rdcu.be/d0ZAQ

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. academic.oup.com/ismej/advan…

Tailless and filamentous prophages are predominant in marine Vibrio

Abstract. Although tailed bacteriophages (phages) of the class Caudoviricetes are thought to constitute the most abundant and ecologically relevant group o

Amazing new bacterial predatory mechanism. Congratulations to the Pilhofer lab and thanks for making us part of this study. science.org/doi/10.1126/scie…

Mechanism of bacterial predation via ixotrophy

Ixotrophy is a contact-dependent predatory strategy of filamentous bacteria in aquatic environments for which the molecular mechanism remains unknown. We show that predator-prey contact can be...

🚀 Identifying new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea has been a fun, exciting, at times overwhelming (so many protein structures) but fulfilling ride so far with @Ettema_lab at @MIB_WUR

Our latest: Using de novo protein structure prediction and sensitive sequence searches we found many new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea, suggesting the archaeal ancestor of eukaryotes was more complex than previously assumed. @koestlste biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
