You breath microbes 💙

Biodiverse Anthropocenes Senior Scholar Anna-Maria Pirttilä & the team’s proposal RUBIO made it through to the 2nd stage of SRC programme call Environmental and Social Links to Biodiversity Loss. We congratulate Anna-Maria & the team and wish them success. aka.fi/en/strategic-r…

Our University of Oulu paper about microbial assemblages in human-contaminated #groundwater-dependent #ecosystems is out in Environmental Microbiology! We report a drastic change of bacterial diversity, composition and functioning along contamination gradient. sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

Reminder: You have billions of microbes in your body and you are part of nature. We also live in symbiosis. In the scifi movies, the future cities without nature is a pure impossibility. We cannot survive without nature!

Did you know that pure, good-quality spring water has many bacteria in it? And they disappear along with contamination... and fresh taste.💦

What a fascinating symbiotic interaction is found in buds of Scots pine! There are bacteria winding around the nucleus, inducing tree growth and stress tolerance 😍 - our University of Oulu paper published in Tree Physiology journal, July 2021 academic.oup.com/treephys/advan…
