METALLOENZYMES LOVERS ALERT! We are delighted to announce that the 14th International Conference on Hydrogenase and Other Redox Metalloenzymes (ICH2026) will take place in Leicester (UK) in August 2026. Stay tuned by following our webpage: le.ac.uk/chemistry/rese…

Dr Kate L. Bowerman from UQ Science presented her findings on the microbiome of Australian marsupials. The bacterial community for each marsupial is significantly varied and is also distinct from that of ruminants.

My group (HessLab.com) is recruiting a new Junior Specialist to support our ongoing efforts in understanding and editing the rumen microbiome towards lower methane production. Please apply here before Dec 1st 2024 recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF06793

🎉 Congratulations to our Director, Distinguished Professor Ian Paulsen Paulsen Lab from Macquarie University, for receiving the 2024 NSW Premier's Prize for Science & Engineering in the category of Excellence in Biological Sciences! 🏆🔬 This award is a testament to his pioneering

The extreme environments session of #AusME2024 has kicked off! Did you know that caves can breathe? The exchange of gases from the surface occurs in a cyclic fashion which can help support the life of microbes. @Sean_K_Bay, what an exciting talk!

1/Congrats to all on the Cell study! Shout out to BDI’s Camilla Faoro, co-first author, for her work (structures & binding studies) on immune receptor variants found in First Nations people, revealing insights into their immune recognition. More: bit.ly/40qYyMW

Tess Hutchinson thank you for giving an insightful talk on the potential thermal flexibility of trace gas oxidation processes from Antarctic samples. In light of our warming climate, this work may prove invaluable!

The Nagoya Protocol and its implications for microbiology | this article states currently it is creating considerable hurdles in research. Despite all good intentions-unless deficiencies are addressed, it can severely constrain international collaboration nature.com/articles/s4156…

📢We're so proud to share that Professor Dena Lyras, BDI Deputy Director & ARC Laureate Fellow, has been appointed as a Sir John Monash Distinguished Professor, the most prestigious title conferred on Professors at the University. Congrats! 🎉Read more bit.ly/3NWNpMp

Next up is Dr. Francesco Ricci (Francesco Ricci) from Monash University Chris Greening who’s informing us about chemosynthesis in marine cave ecosystems 🌊🦠 #MEEM2024

The first speaker of our second session is Tess Hutchinson from Monash University Chris Greening who’s telling us about Antarctic soil bacteria and how they can sustain trace gas oxidation across wide temperature ranges 🥶🦠 #MEEM2024

Ever wondered if those butane-oxidizing archaea (lnkd.in/d5Gu3rFH) could run their metabolism in reverse? Carbon dioxide to butane? Well, wonder no more: check out our new paper, now live at Nature Communications nature.com/articles/s4146…

Pre-print 🚨 alert! We used AI protein structure prediction to analyze ~10,000 Borg proteins, revealing potential capsid proteins & viral-like features in these massive elements from methane-eating archaea. Could they be the first archaeal giant viruses? Check it out!

🚨 New study alert! 🚨 Our research shows that #sequencing depth & false positives are major drivers of bias in prokaryotic #metagenomics. We tested 3 pipelines and uncovered surprising patterns in #MAGrecovery. 🖥️🧪🦠🔬 Check out the full findings 👉 doi.org/10.1371/journa…

Was nice to get some nice feedback on my work, the poster prize was a bonus! Thanks for organising a nice conference ARC CCeMMP ! 🔬🦠 Thanks also to my supervisor Rhys Grinter for all his support!! Stay tuned for the preprint soon 😊

The ASM Vic Branch One Health Night had speakers including Chris Greening, Celeste Donato and @LauraBoelsen (pictured with Organiser Eliza Nikolaou) and Anna Sri (not in picture)

Super excited that our paper on isoniazid resistance in M. tuberculosis is now published in Nature Communications . Massive effort from all involved, especially lead author Cecilia Wang!! nature.com/articles/s4146…

Get ready to be inspired!💡 Professor Chris Greening (Chris Greening), a leading expert in #ClimateMicrobiology, will be one of our keynote speakers at #FEMS2025 in Milan 🌍🔬 Learn more about his innovative research: femsmicro.org/keynote-speake…

The first major body of work from my PhD is now up on BioRxiv! We used AI-designed binders to block the uptake of heme from hemoglobin through ChuA, a heme transporter found in pathogenic E. coli. 🦠🩸🔬 I’m very grateful for my supervisors and all coauthors for their support!
