A great team effort to get into culture one of the most abundant and ubiquitous microbial eukaryotes Tyrannomonas regina (CRY1). It is widely distributed in freshwater ecosystems across six continents. Genomics reveal a compact genome and the presence of associated giant viruses.

Heterotrophic nanoflagellates in lakes ingest 10–20 bacteria/hour, removing roughly 1/3 of all prokaryotes daily but most remain uncultured and unsequenced. We devised a new cultivation strategy to describe one such predator here 🦖🔬 academic.oup.com/ismej/advan… #MicrobialEcology

Cultivation, genomics, and giant viruses of a ubiquitous and heterotrophic freshwater cryptomonad

Abstract. Heterotrophic nanoflagellates are the chief agents of bacterivory in the aquatic microbial loop but remain underrepresented in culture collection

A pair of scientists has produced a research paper in less than an hour with the help of ChatGPT. The article was fluent and insightful, but researchers say that there are many hurdles to overcome go.nature.com/3rmPUzL

Scientists used ChatGPT to generate an entire paper from scratch — but is it any good?

Nature - By designing an autonomous system that fed prompts to the chatbot, researchers produced a paper that was fluent and insightful. Yet they still have concerns.
