, Stefan Hempel, Heike Haslwimmer, Christoph Tebbe, Damien Finn, Liliane Ruess, Matthias C. Rillig a very enjoyable collaboration!

Earthworms modify soil #microbiomes more than you might think ... A new paper fresh from the press. A contribution to the #MonViA project of the #Thuenen Institute. doi.org/10.1016/j.soil… Thünen-Institut Soil Biodiversity Soil Biology Group - WUR

#metagenomics is much more than a catalogue of genes. It increasingly becomes an indispensable tool for microbial ecology. Brilliant work of Damien Finn shows the way forward: metagenomic alpha-diversity index for microbial functional biodiversity academic.oup.com/femsec/article…

Taxonomic does not necessarily follow functional microbial biodiversity in ecosystems. Metagenomic alpha-diversity index for microbial functional biodiversity - A new tool for #metagenomics #Thuenen research Thünen-Institut Soil Biodiversity SoilSystems academic.oup.com/femsec/article…

New publication on wood colonising microbial communities. For fungal diversity, the larger environmental surrounding was of high relevance, while bacterial community composition was strongly affected by soil contact. doi.org/10.1007/s00253…

Nothing in Biology—whether synthetic or naturally-occurring—is truly orthogonal. Devices and modules may be more or less autonomous but not orthogonal, which is a qualitative, yes/no notion. Mere language does not create reality. But I see the term over & over in SynBio papers 🤔

Farmers inevitably change the N-cycling constituents of soil #microbiome when managing their fields. Lessons learned from three European long-term field experiments within the EU DiverIMPACTS project. DiverIMPACTS Thünen-Institut Soil Biodiversity INRAE doi.org/10.1016/j.scit…

Without information on the eukaryotic soil microbiome, and especially protists, we won't get a conclusive understanding on soil bacterial diversity and resilience either. Methodological barriers should be addressed. authors.elsevier.com/sd/article/S09…

The pMATING plasmids enable efficient gene transfer in microbial communities, overcoming barriers like type VI secretion systems. #GeneTransfer #MicrobiomeEngineering #pMATING Details:spj.science.org/doi/10.34133/2…
