Thank you @hoj_lone for a tremendous start to our final day here at #AusME2024! Lone is working towards saving our coral reefs and is researching the potential of probiotic treatments for reef restoration. Dr Høj please keep us updated on how this work unfolds!

Brodie Gillieatt a PhD student from University of Sydney delivered a very interesting talk on the link between heavy metals and the prevalence of antibiotic resistance in the environment. Truly compelling compelling research- we are sure it will be wonderful thesis!

Estuaries are important ecosystems, however, they are particularly vulnerable to anthropogenic stressors. Apoorva Prabhu 🌊 looked at the impact of flooding. Results show that the prokaryotic community took approximately 4 months to return to pre-flood conditions!

Johan Moon just recounted his work using cutting-edge single-cell RNA transcriptomics to explore Vibrio cholerae remarkable survival strategies against protozoan grazing!

Belinda Chapman and Michelle Bull from QuantalBioscience kicked off our next session, Methods and Approaches to Microbial Ecology. Fantastic to hear about their innovative program, the Zoo of Poo, which is empowering school students to dive into the world of microbial ecology!

Jessica O. thank you for sharing your research looking into bioremediation potential of Gordonia. Her work has identified the utility of plasmids from G. pseudoamarae to enhance the ability of G. amarae for bioremediation.

On behalf of the #AusME2024 LOC, thank you to everyone for making this conference exceptional! After some rest and a little bit of time to digest what we have learnt this week, we cannot wait to see you all at #AusME2026 in Adelaide. Take care until then, @RomanisCaitlin
