Excited to see my PhD research highlighted in PNASNews. We attempted to engineer the rhizosphere microbiome through a multi-passaging method to enhance the resilience of V. radiata against salinity stress. A step closer to climate-resilient crops! PNAS pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Feeling elated for having our work displayed in the PNAS Front Matter by Carolyn Beans, highlighting exciting work from Kevin Hockett Janet Jansson. Engineering Microbial communities and Syncoms are the new way to go! PNASNews pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Join us for a PhD study in Microbial Chemical Ecology!  Are you passionate about exploring the hidden chemical language of soil microbes? We are offering a PhD scholarship to dive into secondary-metabolite-based regulatory networks in rhizobiomes! efzu.fa.em2.oraclecloud.com/hcmUI/Candidat…

From 7 to 14 April, our #EMBOMetaG trainers and speakers provided a global overview of the different approaches to study microbial communities through metagenomics, covering methods for nucleic acids extraction from complex populations, the DNA/RNA sequencing, the functional

Terrorists launched an attack that killed dozens of Indian citizens. India had every right to retaliate and defend itself. Pakistan does not get to play the victim. No country gets a pass for supporting terrorist activity.

More resources, less diversity? Our new preprint reveals that increasing resource diversity can reduce microbial biodiversity—contrary to classical ecological theory. Luckily, we understood why this happens. Read more: biorxiv.org/content/10.110… #MicrobialEcology #Biodiversity

Ecological effects of micro/nanoplastics on plant-associated food webs Uncover how tiny pollutants can ripple through ecosystems, impacting plants and their interactions. Read more: hubs.li/Q03mg7290

Hub metabolites at the root–microbiome interface: unlocking plant drought resilience dlvr.it/TKsjCg #plantscience

Microbial communities can harbor many species that do not coexist in pairs, yet can coexist in the full community. Here we provide the mathematical foundations of emergent coexistence, and explain why it can't be predicted from pairwise tests biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I know very few people left here but I have a question: many research lines show cultivar specific microbial communities in soil. Is it always important to varify this with your own samples or just assuming it be the case would be alright? Not always possible to sequence them.

Harnessing the rhizosheath for resilient crop production dlvr.it/TLKTFD #plantscience

How may theoretical ecology & evolutionary theory push microbiology forward? At Environmental Microbiology, I am commissioning a series of Perspectives exploring that question. Excited to share them in the 🧵 below
