In a perfect microbial world we would all work with genomes/MAGs/isolates…but we are not there yet, and the old workhorse 16S rDNA gene still has a role to play. If you missed @oveoyas poster at #ISME19 check out the preprint biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Exciting day at #ISME19 seeing many years of hard work with #TheMEMOgroup and a ton of great collaborators being presented in shiny presentations. Huge congrats to @SabinaLLaRosa and @velma_te_a 🙌🏼 @UniNMBU @CMR_QUT

We hope you can join this awesome list of speakers at the 36th Congress of Gastrointestinal Function, from April 8-10th. Abstract submissions are open until March 8th congressgastrofunction.org/a…

Excited to announce the 2024 Congress on Gastrointestinal Function (April 8-10). 👉lnkd.in/ddp56NuP. Invited speakers: Gene Tyson (@CMR_QUT) Ami Byatt Mads Albertsen (@MadsAlbertsen85) Lindsay J Hall (@hall_lab) Rekha Seshadri Manuel Kleiner Alex Kostic Ed Bayer

Always fun catching up with the @holoruminant consortium. General Assembly with team @UniNMBU @TRHvidsten @oveoyas and Wanxin

Annual workshop and retreat for the MEMO group. ☃️❄️🥶

A very special day for the group as we celebrate “DR” @andersen__thea who performed an outstanding defense of her PhD. A huge thank you to the opponents Prof’s @sharonhuws, Jana Seifert and @AngelaSchwarm

Proteomic detection of protozoal metabolism such as hydrogenases, carbohydrate active enzymes, microbial predation and volatile fatty acid production was increased in high methane-emitting animals, while certain bacteria were detected at higher levels in low emitting animals. 4/6

Some fun facts re. rumen microbes: 1) We estimate >50,000+ genomes have been built for bacteria and archaea over the years 2) rumen fluid under a microscope often reveals these big things (protozoa) swimming around, for these we have <50 genomes thanks to efforts of others! 2/6

Genome-centric metaproteomics on anaerobic digesters will be on display with @JuliMWalter and @magnusarntzen. Today in PS17 - Microbial ecology of the built environment. Results from the @prodigioproject #ISME18
