Prolonged droughts followed by sudden bursts of rainfall – how do desert soil bacteria manage to survive such harsh conditions? 🏜 This question has been answered in an European Research Council (ERC) project led by Dagmar Woebken from the CeMESS at Universität Wien. 🔍 ⤵ medienportal.univie.ac.at/en/media/recen…

Masterpiece manuscript from Stefanie Imminger, @DimitriMeier and Dagmar Woebken on how desert soil microbes resuscitate following hydration at a species-resolved level. Evidence for key roles for both phototrophs and hydrogenotrophs. nature.com/articles/s4146…


Ping (Penny) Han and co-authors reconstruct nearly 2,000 metagenome-assembled genomes and perform DNA-SIP to discover comammox Nitrospira clade B is a nitrification driver nature.com/articles/s4146…





Knock knock. Who's there? The globally distributed nitrifying sponge symbionts Nitrosokoinonia and Nitrosymbion. Great work led by @BettinaGlasl! @DOME_Vienna @JMF_Vienna Michael Wagner Holger Daims Pam Engelberts @joanaseneca Jay Osvatic @_ocilisni_ academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…


Congratulations 🎉 🎉 Wouter Lenferink et al . Long in the making, finally online at Science Magazine advance: #Hydroxylamine production by Alcaligenes faecalis challenges the paradigm of heterotrophic #nitrification #microbiology Radboud University .@RIBESresearch science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…



A new substrate for #nitrification by #comammox microbes: #Guanidine So glad to see this out in nature today – great collaborative effort from our @FWF Cluster of Excellence, Universität Wien, team Aalborg Universitet, and UFZ nature.com/articles/s4158…


So happy to have you Michael Wagner in Hong Kong and being an ‘alumina-host’ for your first visit of HK! Great time and enjoyable stay for me too! Many thanks Prof. Zhang Tong Zhang for creating such a pleasant meet!


Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 Nature Microbiology We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity. Check the full story here: rdcu.be/d0ZAQ
