We are now accepting applications for our annual workshop on Microbial Community Multi-omics. The 2024 workshop is being held on the 3rd-7th of June in Český Krumlov, Czech Republic. Sign up below! evomics.org/2024-microbial…

Check out our perspective in Soil Biology & Biochemistry Journal: "Beyond growth: the significance of non-growth anabolism for microbial CUE in the light of soil carbon stabilization!" Here we evaluated how ignoring non-growth C can underestimate CUE and soil C projections! sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

The RDP Classifier is one of the most popular machine learning approaches for taxonomic classification. Researchers updated the RDP taxonomy to incorporate newly described taxa & recent changes in nomenclature for prokaryotes. Learn more in #MRAJournal: asm.social/1NN

A nitrogen-fixing organelle, or “nitroplast,” has been identified in a marine alga. This discovery sheds light on the evolutionary transition from endosymbiont to organelle. Learn more this week in Science: scim.ag/6yX
