morning sampling at Lil Sipp, we got some BERRIES!! #welovemicrobes

A double Volta experiment after a talk on C1 metabolism and methanogenesis at #MicrobialDiversity ⁦Marine Biological Laboratory (MBL)⁩ —what could be better?

Maybe this one?

Excited to share our new preprint! Jonathan Friedman Gal Toledano We tackle a simple question: How much of species evolution depends on the presence of other species? Bottom line: Most evolutionary changes were robust across strains that evolved with different biotic partners 1/

Great to see our review on measuring microbial interactions out! Jonathan Friedman Tal Livny doi.org/10.1016/j.mib.… We discuss the concept of interactions and its limitations, purposes of measuring interactions, and categorize different indices for quantifying interactions.

.Nittay Meroz et al. find that microbes evolve similarly whether they evolve alone or together, suggesting that predictions of microbial evolution could often remain robust regardless of community context. Jonathan Friedman cell.com/cell-systems/a…
