Happy to see our full article out now in The ISME Journal: Pollutant profile complexity governs WW removal of recalcitrant pharmaceuticals! The background pollutant profile is essential for degradation of recalcitrant pollutants! academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…

Pollutants rarely come alone. Did you know that the presence of other pollutants have a major influence on the fate of pharmaceuticals in wastewater? Read this fascinating study led by the brilliant Marcel Suleiman to find out more!

If you’re interested in rapid in-situ metagenomics with Oxford Oxford Nanopore MinION, here’s a great example of how a lab-in-a-suitcase approach can achieve same-day on-site results, allowing “real-time functional and taxonomic monitoring of microbial communities in remote areas”.

Potato Endophytes predict vigor. Insightful work by my previous Utrecht colleagues. A big step toward microbiome- based breeding.
