Many novel Asgard genomes, cultivated Lokiarchaeia, new phylogenetic analyses: what insights do these and other recent studies provide into the enigmatic origin of eukaryotes? In this review in nature , we discuss the latest findings and open questions: nature.com/articles/s4158…

Together with Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺, @JvHooff, Stephan Köstlbacher, Kassiani Panagiotou (all Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR) and Daniel Tamarit (Theoretical Biology & Bioinformatics @ UU)

Kelly Klomp is taking over @NL_Wetenschap this week! Kelly is a PhD candidate in our lab and studies the influence of antibiotics and probiotics on the infant gut microbiota. She will tweet about gut bacteria and gut health (in 🇳🇱). Stay tuned and follow @NL_Wetenschap!

Vanmorgen heb ik een super leuk interview gehad met NPO Radio 1 over het belang van de darmbacteriën en de onderzoeken die ik doe! Benieuwd hoe belangrijk de darmbacteriën zijn bij jonge kinderen?

For decades, the titration of the replication initiator protein DnaA on the chromosome of E. coli has remained unproven. We used computational analysis and cutting-edge microscopy to finally provide evidence of its existence and suggest its role in stabilising DNA replication.

🚨 New preprint alert! 🚨 Our latest work on Escherichia coli and the regulation of DNA replication initiation via DnaA titration on the chromosome, led by Lorenzo Olivi. Here’s a thread summarizing our findings. 🧵👇 Wageningen U&R Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 @HohlbeinLab et al. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Akkermansia muciniphila: biology, microbial ecology, host interactions and therapeutic potential Belzer & co. explore the diversity of A. muciniphila, its biology, interactions with the host, diet and microbiota, its link with health and disease, and potential applications.

Our newest 'hot' preprint is out : making the thermophilic platform P. thermo bacterium use methanol, a promising recipe for future sustainable bioproduction with renewable methanol. Great work led by Miguel Paredes-Barrada Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR! biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

🦠 How does human milk stir the formation of bacterial communities in the infant gut?👶 Check our paper in The ISME Journal from @clarabelzer group at Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR doi.org/10.1093/ismejo…

🦠Our latest paper is out! We developed a synthetic community of human gut #microbes that completely degrades mucin glycans. We studied its microbial #mucin glycan-degrading enzymes and ecological interactions in bioreactors. #glycotime #microbiome academic.oup.com/glycob/article…

The gut microbiota of an Indian rural population shows seasonal fluctuation. This study by Kumaraswamy Jeyaram, egzoetendal et al. tracked the seasonal differences in microbiota of healthy individuals that differ in fermented milk and soybean intake. nature.com/articles/s4146…
