Direct bacterial injection into live cells by Christoph Gäbelein showcasing the captivating endosymbiont science we tackle in the #VorholtLab using the FluidFM! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Interested in biological questions? Are you considering to study biology? Our new video about the biology curriculum offered by the Department of Biology at ETH Zurich has just been released: youtube.com/watch?v=awc6a5…

Bacteria inside fungi! A new study by the #VorholtLab shows how artificial endosymbiosis can transfer a metabolic function and drive innovation in biology. nature: nature.com/articles/s4158… ETH Zurich: ethz.ch/en/news-and-ev…

We found a way to implant bacteria 🦠 in fungi 🍄and used it to induce artificial endosymbiosis. Read all about it in our newest research paper nature . nature.com/articles/s4158…

Here‘s some footage of our injection of bacteria into R. microsporus. There‘s more videos in the SI of the article with active transport and the fungal innate immunity response. Ref: Giger et al., Nature 2024 youtu.be/xxJzUSM6p7U?si…

We first wrote this piece in 2018, another year in which seven recipients were awarded scientific Nobel Prizes, all of them male. It remains as relevant now as it was then. nature.com/articles/d4158…

It‘s been a fantastic four days in Rothenburg with great symbiotic mutualism! Many thanks to the organizers!

My entire team wrote an opinion paper about Common misconceptions of speciation research. Each section is written by 1-2 team members. The bulk of the writing happened during two writing retreats. It was a lot of fun and I am very happy with the result. academic.oup.com/evolinnean/art…

🌟 Meet Gabriel H Giger (ETH Zurich fernando bernal #VorholtLab), pioneering endosymbiosis research with #FluidFM! 🧫🔬 Precise bacteria injections into fungi open new possibilities, enabling real-time host-bacteria interaction studies. 🚀 🎥 Watch > youtu.be/xxJzUSM6p7U 📖 Read >

Bacteria glowing with green fluorescence move inside a fungal cell. In this video, the bacteria seem like an infection, but in successive generations, the two organisms will adapt to each other until they find endosymbiotic balance. quantamagazine.org/scientists-re-…

Big thanks to Quanta Magazine and Molly Herring for piblishing this story about our research on inducing novel endosymbioses in fungi by directly injecting bacteria! quantamagazine.org/scientists-re-…

Evolution was fueled by endosymbiosis, cellular alliances in which one microbe makes a permanent home inside another. For the first time, biologists made it happen in the lab. wired.com/story/scientis…
