How accurate are genome scale metabolic models (GEMs) of microbial communities? 🤔Researchers profiled 2 approaches to refine GEMs derived from metagenomics using reference-based taxonomic profiling. Learn more in EIC Jack Gilbert 🔗 asm.social/22d

One week ago I had the opportunity to present a bit of my final PhD chapter at #ISME19. Science should be a collaborative effort, and I was very lucky to have met incredible people in my journey. Thank you all for having played a role my career.

Join me in Congratulating Prof Raquel Peixoto for her appointment as the new President of the International Society for Microbial Ecology!!!🥳👏👏 Raquel Peixoto KAUST KAUST BESE ISME - International Society for Microbial Ecology

Check out the nice story of our latest paper adding Saudi Arabia in the map of Astrobiology studies! From Saudi to Space 🌋🇸🇦 Alef Santos Alexandre Soares Rosado Microbial EcoGenomics & Biotechnology Laboratory

I am pleased to see our research covered in Arab News – an exciting story for Saudis to learn more about their environment and the universe.🇸🇦💚🚀🌋🌋🌋🌋🇸🇦 arabnews.com/node/2575373/s… Microbial EcoGenomics & Biotechnology Laboratory KAUST BESE

Great resource for all the scientists out there who, like me, have stopped using BioRender since their recent update to the terms and conditions. bioart.niaid.nih.gov

Awesome conference so far and really happy that I had the opportunity to share a bit of my PhD with the Australian microbial ecologists

Pre-print 🚨 alert! We used AI protein structure prediction to analyze ~10,000 Borg proteins, revealing potential capsid proteins & viral-like features in these massive elements from methane-eating archaea. Could they be the first archaeal giant viruses? Check it out!

So much dark carbon fixation being done by microorganisms and still many governments don't take in consideration microbiology in their work groups on climate change. This is a long due call for action by our community. Congrats to Raquel Peixoto and others for the initiative!

🚨 New paper out about the uptake of coral probiotics by sponges! Check it out nature.com/articles/s4152… #sponge #coral #probiotics Alessandro Garritano Raquel Peixoto Nathalia Delgadillo Ordoñez Inês Raimundo Helena Villela Marine Microbiomes Lab

Moving to the place where the sky is blue. Will still be active here for a while, but planning to move definitely in a couple of weeks. For those of you who are interested, see you on there! Also, new username is in my profile here.

Will the last one out please turn off the lights? Future is 🦋

Exciting news! Our manuscript has been accepted 🇦🇶🧫 Congrats Beatriz Paredes and thank you for the collaboration! It was great to be part of your MS project and paper! #AntarcticMicrobes #Biotechnology

Just published! Even NASA cleanrooms—designed to be ultra-clean—harbor resilient, novel bacteria. 26 new species were found, some forming biofilms, resisting radiation, and producing biotech-relevant compounds. Check it here: microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.11…
