#GuessTheMicrobe Commonly found in the gut of warm-blooded organisms but also lives in natural environment including within soil. Probably the best studied bacterium and most widely used indicator of water quality. #WorldMicrobiomeDay #DiversityMatters Picture: SoilEnvMicro

#GuessTheMicrobe Hint : very colourful spores of symbionts that associate with the great majority of plant species. They need the plant to obtain part of their nutrients and they provide other nutrients in exchange. #WorldMicrobiomeDay #DiversityMatters Picture: Coline Deveautour

#GuessTheMicrobe They don’t have a nucleus. Often live in extreme environments with low in oxygen but also part of the microbiota of all organisms.Thanks Testing and Soil Biodiversity, picture by Z. Lü, D.B. Nair, D.G. Burns, T.J. Beveridge, E. Saunders #WorldMicrobiomeDay

#GuessTheMicrobe Unicellular eukaryotes. Have folded membranes underneath their cell membranes. Capable of ingesting several hundred bacterial cells per minute when they are active. Thanks Testing and Soil Biodiversity, picture by Y. Eglit, S. Shimano #WorldMicrobiomeDay

#GuessTheMicrobe non spore forming aerobic bacteria that have a flagellum for mobility. Some metabolise chemical pollutants in the environment & are therefore used in bioremediation. Thanks Testing and Soil Biodiversity, picture by L. Howard #WorldMicrobiomeDay #DiversityMatters

Happy #WorldMicrobiomeDay 🎉🎉 Check our why microbes are important in soil through this short video 😁

#SoilOrganicMatter is critically important for #SoilHealth and to underpin sustainable farming systems.Sorcha R. Kelly #TeagascJC talks about #SOM in agricultural soils & her research on understanding how #SoilMicrobes release nutrients from #SOM

Check out this piece to find out more about #SOM and it’s importance for soil health. Current research at #teagascJC SoilEnvMicro

Interested in #SoilHealth? Check out the upcoming online soil health is our wealth event from #teagascJC Teagasc as part of science week @scienceirel #FESTFARMFOOD

Many congratulations to @MGrauButinyac #TeagascJC MAGGE_pH @nuigalway on winning both the #WalshScholar gold medal & the CELUP programme walsh scholar of the year 💐🎉🥳🥂 She's been doing some great research on understanding microbes that produce #GreenhouseGases in soil

If you're a dairy or beef farmer, please help our research by completing this survey. We want to hear your views on farm diversification, climate change and the environment. RTs hugely appreciated :) …althandagriscience.fra1.qualtrics.com/jfe/form/SV_8v…

Soil biodiversity session - Young Soil Scientists #EUSOforum 3rd speaker - Sorcha Kelly Teagasc James Hutton Institute presenting her project "Soil nitrogen mineralisation, microbial community, and enzymatic activity are impacted by soil type and nutrient management"

Great to have the opportunity this morning to present some of my PhD research at #EUSOforum Thanks to all involved 😁

Excellent paper from Rachael Murphy 😁 congratulations 🎉🎉
