Cristian Villena-Alemany defending his PhD thesis.

Big congratulations to PhD Cristian Villena 🎉🎊🥳 APB_Lab

Our new paper shows that Aerobic Anoxygenic Phototrophs at Station ALOHA (North Pacific Subtropical Gyre) are controlled by nitrogen availability and intense grazing pressure journals.asm.org/doi/full/10.11…

Izabel Mujakić has received a Postdoc fellowship from the Czech Academy of Sciences to continue her work on evolution of phototrophic Gemmatimonadota. Congratulations Izabela! 👍

PhD project Dual Phototrophy! We are looking for motivated students to investigate exciting organisms which harvest light energy by bacteriochlorophyll as well as proton-pumping rhodopsins! For more information see►alga.cz/en/c-670-caree…

New paper by Tomasch et al investigates origin of high strand bias regions in Gemmatimonadota chromosomes. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mb…

New paper by Piwosz et al documents that aerobic anoxygenic phototrophs perform better at nutrient replete conditions academic.oup.com/femsec/article…

Gràcies to everybody that made it possible :)

Our new study shows that Gemmatimonas phototrophica does not regulate its horizontally adopted photosynthesis genes journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

I'm very happy to share our recent publication on aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria! In this paper, I moved from genetics, to study their distribution across a huge transect... aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln… 🧵1/4

👉Czech Grant Foundation supported our project DualPhoto focused on photophysiology of bacteria capable of harvesting light energy using both rhodopsin and bacteriochlorophyll. 🌞🦠
