Excited to receive an #ERCStG for the METHANIAQ project to investigate aquatic #methane cycling. Very grateful to DOME - Microbial Ecology 🧫🔬🦠🧬 & #CeMESS for their support. Special thanks to everyone on the #CliOMZ cruise who accommodated my ERC interview in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 🌊🩵

Excited to share our work on timing ATP synthase evolution using a cross-braced dated species tree. We timescale major events in cellular evolution and use that as a framework to understand ATP synthase ancestry. Out in Nature Communications

Opinie With Nicole Bale in Algemeen Dagblad

I have two new PostDoc openings in my lab. 1) focus on cultivation and physiology of N cycle microbes. 2) focus on N cycle biogeochemistry and GHG fluxes in grasslands (collab with Jiangxiao Qiu). Official ads coming soon. Please spread widely!

Three positions in our department at NIOZ! please RT

Tara Mahendrarajah Edmund R. R. Moody Tom Williams Lots of congrats Tara, on this milestone of your PhD. You did an amazing effort on this and I am so happy that we can share the preprint. Also many thanks to all collaboration partners. Its been a lot of fun. @NIOZnieuws, mmb_nioz, IBED, IBED Evolution and Population Biology

Happy to share part of my PhD work examining ATP synthase evolution. Using novel dating techniques we provide a timescale for major events across the tree of life and the ancestry of the ATP synthases. Many thanks to Edmund R. R. Moody, Dominik Schrempf, Anja Spang (she/her), Tom Williams ...

What is happening? First, there are now bacteria that have an archaellum (biorxiv.org/content/10.110…), and now there are haloarchaea acting as if they are Streptomycetes (nature.com/articles/s4146…)?
