Glad to share our recent work on the gut microbiome of Red Sea sea urchin Tripneustes gratilla elatensis in which we discuss how dietary algae influence microbes networking in the gut and the relation to their potential contribution in feed digestion. animalmicrobiome.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…

Proud of our Dzung Nguyen (IOLR חקר ימים ואגמים לישראל (חיא"ל) , Ben-Gurion University of the Negev , BGU Eilat Campus) for receiving the best presentation award at the @microeco2 conference yesterday at Weizmann Institute. Good job Dzung 👏🏻

Our recent work on a marine Alkalihalobacillus sp. from the gut of sea urchin. This microbe reveals a unique content of CAZymes for degradation of seaweeds’ polysaccharides. IOLR חקר ימים ואגמים לישראל (חיא"ל); LS_BGU; BGU Eilat Campus; Microbiology Spectrum; doi.org/10.1128/spectr…

Our new paper- Anthropogenic compounds have become part of the marine phosphorus cycle and marine bacteria can metabolize these pollutants. pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Happy to share our latest manuscript about predicting interspecies interactions between bacteria. Research by the talented Einat Nestor and Gal Toledano. This work started as Einat's undergrad project!

Peace after a storm? Our study on the assembly of prokaryotes vs. eukaryotes in the marine plastisphere reveals how ‘peace’ is gained after a storm event regarding diversity, functions, and networking. IOLR חקר ימים ואגמים לישראל (חיא"ל) Ofer Ovadia LS_BGU BGU Eilat Campus doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

So thrilled to share my paper newly published on #STOTEN. The story is about how the #microbial community gain their “peace” after “war”. 🦠🧬⛈ Maybe, the story is universal and applicable to us all?! Enjoy reading!!! doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…
