First paper from my PhD came out a few weeks ago. We grew microbes from coal seams on ten different organic compounds, in order to see which microbes degrade which compounds. More papers coming soon! academic.oup.com/femsec/article…

My article today in The Conversation highlights the recent devastating cuts to Earth Science in Australian universities and how both government policies and university choices are to blame. theconversation.com/australia-badl… via The Conversation - Australia + New Zealand

When you think of photosynthesis you might think of green plants producing oxygen, but today we’re looking at a purple bacteria that photosynthesizes and smells like rotten eggs. youtu.be/f1P3sX1JfcA

The St Anthony Falls Lab Jurassic Tank XES-02 experiment provides some excellent data to illustrate how stratigraphy forms as a result of constant sediment input, changing sea level, and ongoing subsidence

The preliminary program for the 24th International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (IBS) 2022 organised in Perth and online 20-23 November 2022 is now available at : ibs2022.com.au/program/scient… I hope to see you there :)

Two days left to benefit from regular registration fees for the 24th International Biohydrometallurgy Symposium (IBS 2022) held in Perth, Western Australia and virtually 20-23 November 2022. For more info, please visit ibs2022.com.au

Belated paper post (and it's free to read): In underground coal seams, a diverse range of methane-producing microbes were identified using online data. Then, we inferred what they're probably consuming in the different coal seams when they make methane. sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

A great job opportunity in our Perth-based Resource Sector Biotechnology Team for a Research Projects Officer. For more info, please see: …rformancemanager10.successfactors.com/sf/jobreq?jobI…

Could microbes help us defeat plastic waste? 🦠 We have a big plastic waste problem. Only 9% of plastic produced and used worldwide each year is recycled. We're investigating using the biorecycling powers of microbes to manage our plastic waste. spr.ly/60103uqU2

Microbes play a role in transforming coal to methane. Bronwyn Campbell shows 4 taxa identified via metagenomics, with genetic potential for metabolising complex carbon in coal. Implications for industrial methane stimulation and bioremediation of organic pollutants #MicroSeq2023
