Exciting week full of polar & alpine microbiology at #PAM22, including microbes from our AWI Medien Deep Sea Ecology and Technology Group (Habitat) time-series in the #Arctic — with 1st presentation price for my collaborator @taylorpriest2 👏🏼🙂 Many thanks to GFZ for this meeting on such a beautiful campus!

How can one of the northernmost hydrothermal vent fields shed light on the geology of the Arctic Ridge? A recent collaborative effort between AWI Medien, @marum_de, Universitetet i Bergen, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology and others, led by Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution (WHOI) sheds light on the enigmatic AURORA vent field nature.com/articles/s4146…

60 ºC was thought to be the temp limit of anaerobic #methane oxidation (AOM) in deep sea sediments, oxidising as much as 90% of this potent greenhouse gas🌡️🌎 Here, Habitat's David BM, Hanna Zehnle and co. show the limit of AOM is closer to 70 ºC🔥 doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

New paper out! In this paper Fabai Wu Lab and I described the ANME-1c, a new deep-branching clade at the base of ANME-1. Most ANME-1c contain genes for hydrogenases. What are hydrogenases doing in ANME-1? nature.com/articles/s4156…

Congratulations to our group leader Deep Sea Ecology and Technology Group (Habitat) and director AWI Media Antje Boetius! 👏👏
