Congratulations to our director Sophie G Martin for obtaining the ERC advanced grant! We’re super proud and happy for you and your team! Watch this space for upcoming job opportunities 😉

Getting a better understanding of interactions in soil microbial communities through random paired growth in beads nature.com/articles/s4200… Congratulations @ManupriyamD! NCCR Microbiomes

Lively discussion on the development of a new game on microbiomes with Koboldgames for the NCCR Microbiomes. Having more fun with #microbiomes for everyone😊

Better late than never 😬 If you are interested to explore bacterial cell recognition in communities by machine-learning approaches msystems.asm.org/content/6/1/e0… and nature.com/articles/s4200…

More biking is needed and it is so easy! @biketoworkch Pro Velo Schweiz

The good thing about Zooms: I have never participated in so many seminars and discussions as this year; the bad thing: yes, when was the last time you actually travelled to meet someone?

Is this why soil inoculants have little success in real life? Toluene-degrading Pseudomonas veronii (red) being attacked (killed?) by unknown soil bacterium. Image credits @ManupiyamD and Nikhil Kumari.

Excellent opportunity for a tenure-track Assistant Professor in Clinical microbiome metagenomics within NCCR Microbiomes at the chuv.ch/en/microbiolog…. Deadline May 31, 2021. Apply wwwfbm.unil.ch/releve/applica…

Upcoming seminar NCCR Microbiomes by Willem de Vos on human gut microbiota in health and disease. May 4 12-13 h CET. nccr-microbiomes.ch/event/willem-d…

Sometimes I feel you can never read enough. So then attending a conference is like finding a rare jewel. "Oh wow, that is beautiful, how comes I didn't know that?" (embarrassing). Here is one on parasitic viruses in Vibrio kimseedlab.com/research heard #Microbio21

Proud to be bearer of my first WTTM. Feel like a bioreactor, hope my cells know what to do! 😀What an amazing science/biotech development. Thanks Canton Vaud for this extremely efficient campaign!

New study on the global transcriptomic reactions of growing inoculant Pseudomonas veronii in non-sterile and contaminated soils just published …ronmentalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/track/pdf/10.1… Congrats to Marian,@NoushinHadadi and Vladimir!

L’étude de coprolithes (du 💩 fossilisé) millénaires montre que nos ancêtres avaient un #microbiote plus diversifié,comme les chasseurs cueilleurs actuels. Sur cette base, faudrait-il réensemencer notre microbiote afin d’éviter l’apparition de pathologies? letemps.ch/node/1263778

Publié dans Le Temps du 20 juin 'Les pouvoirs magiques des excréments' par @MarieMaurisse montre l'importance du NCCR Microbiomes . "Les pouvoirs du caca sont encore inexplorés", comme les pouvoirs des microbiomes en général!

Congrats to Birge for her new study showing widespread toxicity of low antibiotics concentrations in freshwater and activated sludge communities, but also a few signs for potential biodegradation of some. More attention needed! frontiersin.org/articles/10.33…

Two new PhD openings in the lab to study how horizontal gene transfer may be influenced by environmental cues, using the ICEclc system of Pseudomonas. Application deadline Nov 1, 2021; Check out : career5.successfactors.eu/career?career%… or contact me directly.
