I am excited to share our preprint on C fixation yields and DOC release from marine nitrifiers. This work was carried out during my postdoc in the Alyson Santoro. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Our new pre-print on the archaeal AMO complex: Unexpected Complexity of the Ammonia Monooxygenase in Archaea biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Evidence for three additional subunits using a combination of proteomics, transcriptomics, comparative genomics, and structural predictions.

As microbiologists we produce tons of plastic waste and use enormous amounts of energy, let GreenLabsAustria inspire you and start doing more sustainable research! #EMBOarchaea

Congrats to Philipp and Silvia, along with Sammy, Frédéric, and all co-authors, for this amazing work! "Evolution of longitudinal division in multicellular bacteria of the Neisseriaceae family" Many fantastic approaches exploring these unique bacteria! rdcu.be/cUf4y

📢 We are back for the 🍂 semester 📢 👉28.09.22 @ 1 pm (Berlin/Paris)👈 We again gathered a 🔥 line-up for you, our 🤎 archaea aficionados! Featuring Burak Avcı, 🔬 Asgard archaea 🦠, & Logan Hodgskiss, advertising for 🟢 research initiatives 🥼🧪 Archaea Power Hour - Europa @APH_AME

Congratulations to Hayk, Simon, and all co-authors on their new publication! „Scale-up of biomass production by Methanococcus maripaludis“ Another step forward towards using methanogens in large-scale biotechnology. doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.… #methanogens #archaea #biotechnology

New paper out! We are happy to introduce ‘Lokiarchaeum ossiferum’, an actin cytoskeleton carrying Asgard archaeon cultivated in our lab. Thank you very much to the Pilhofer Lab from ETH Zürich for this great collaboration. nature.com/articles/s4158… Rafael Ponce Florian Wollweber

Very happy to share our latest research on methane oxidizing bacteria :-) UiT Norges arktiske universitet Universität Wien nature.com/articles/s4139…

In case you missed the preprint, our paper on the archaeal AMO complex is out in its final form: rdcu.be/c4Bc7 We identified three unique archaeal subunit candidates (AmoXYZ) using proteomics, genomics, and transcriptomics, and investigated structures using AlphaFold.

How to not destroy our environment when doing life science research? We Climate Max Perutz Labs Vienna published our first paper on “the paradox of the life sciences” in EMBO Reports. Great summary of our journey, challenges and actions you can take. embopress.org/doi/full/10.15… #Science

Nice to see this out! "Pressurized upflow reactor system for the bioconversion of coal to methane: Investigation of the coal/sand interface effect" We were able to closely mimic the in situ conditions of methanogenesis in a coal seam within the lab. doi.org/10.1016/j.clce…

Congratulations to Michael, Simon, and all co-authors on the publication of their new paper: "Analysis of biomass productivity and physiology of Nitrososphaera viennensis grown in continuous culture" A look at AOA growth in bioreactors! #biofilm #reactor doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

Happy to share our new manuscript led by Michael Melcher. An in-depth analysis of an ammonia oxidizing archaeon in a continuous culture bioreactor. Lots of data to look at and some intriguing biofilm observations for a soil AOA. doi.org/10.3389/fmicb.…

Really happy to see that our latest work on ESCRT-III-based cell division is out! science.org/doi/full/10.11… Amazing effort by Buzz Baum, Andela Saric and Rifka Vlijm lab!

Our in-depth study of the CRISPR array-specific chromatin protein Cbp1 is now on biorxiv. We show that Cbp1 recruits the chromatin protein Cren7 to CRISPR spacers favouring transcription from the leader promoter over spacer-internal cryptic promoters... biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Congrats to Tobias, Silvia, and all co-authors on their new publication led by Natasha in the Relman Lab! "Previously uncharacterized rectangular bacterial structures in the dolphin mouth" Well done! @bulgheresi_s @DavidRelman rdcu.be/daaWE

I am so very stoked that this study is finally out! So many years of work, now condensed in a few pages (+ extensive SI 😬). Don't miss @eme_laura's fantastic summary thread! Phylogenomics were central and painstaking. What did we do with 6 years of tree-making? 1/

Congratulations to group member Hayk Palabikyan and all recipients of this great award!

Congratulations to Sinje, Inês, and Filipa on the publication of their new paper! Nicely done! "Stepwise pathway for early evolutionary assembly of dissimilatory sulfite and sulfate reduction" doi.org/10.1038/s41396… Inês Cardoso Pereira Filipa Sousa Sinje Neukirchen
