New research from Andreja Kust and the Spencer Diamond lab on cyanobacterial communities! Which microbes like to live with Cyanobacteria in model communities? Take a look here and find out: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…
Excited to share our preprint on cyanobacterial communities and their core microbiome, with Spencer Diamond as corresponding author and incredible help from Jackie Zorz, Keith Bouma-Gregson, Catalina Cruañas Pániker, The Banfield Lab. #microbiome #Genomics #WomenInSTEM

Trust Jacob West-Roberts, PhD and The Banfield Lab to come up with nature's weirdest. 1/2
The world’s largest proteins? These mega-molecules turn bacteria into predators nature.com/articles/d4158…
It's (double) prime time: now in Current Biology, our latest rubisco work with The Nogales Lab, The Banfield Lab, SAXSatSIBYLS, and more! Structural studies of metagenomic form Iα and I′′ enzymes illuminate the evolutionary trajectory of rubisco oligomerization:

And the second part of our two-part preprint bonanza- Jacob West-Roberts, PhD (your esteemed banfield lab twitter admin) and the giant proteins! Click through for some beautiful alphafold-predicted protein structures from the biggest (predicted) proteins you've ever seen.
The first of our two-part preprint bonanza: Luis E. Valentín-Alvarado and his fantastic preprint on the newly presented phylum of Asgard Archaea, the Atabeyarchaeota!
Our latest #Asgard preprint is out!🙌
Closed genomes of Freyarchaeia & the previously uncharacterized Atabeyarchaeia indicate key roles in wetland soil carbon cycling.
