Hot off the online press! Rapid growth rate responses of terrestrial bacteria to field warming on the Antarctic Peninsula. EcossNAU Bruce Hungate The ISME Journal rdcu.be/dpih1


Just uploaded: biorxiv.org/cgi/content/sh… If anyone has comments before we submit it to a peer-reviewed journal we would really appreciate! Below a thread of this project with @Lou_tsia and Andreas Richter .


Soil bacteria prevail despite drought conditions Real-world #climatechange experiment reveals surprising soil response Dennis Metze Andreas Richter Universität Wien TER-labs #MicrobialEcology medienportal.univie.ac.at/en/media/recen…


New paper published! We describe the process of making microfluidic chips for quantifying the effect of physical characteristics of microenvironments on bacterial and fungal biomass and nutrient consumption Edith Hammer Pelle Ohlsson @Biology_LU doi.org/10.1016/j.xpro…



Check out how subarctic grasslands communities adapt to soil warming -biomass of roots and rhizomes is main driver in medium term, while NSC concentration in long term, though species-specific response is a different story😊 FutureArctic-ITN Biplabi University of Tartu link below


Desertification spreads worldwide – but how do desert soil bacteria manage to survive prolonged droughts followed by sudden burst of rainfall? Excited to share our new study Nature Communications Special thanks goes to @DimitriMeier and Dagmar Woebken nature.com/articles/s4146…




Excited to share our latest paper in PLOS Comp Biol! journals.plos.org/ploscompbiol/a… Our study dives into the comparison of possible extracellular polysaccharide degradation strategies and their impact on microbial growth and community dynamics. 1/6 #Microbialecology

I'm super excited to share our Tansley Insight in New Phytologist We review synthetic ecology (SynEco) approaches in the plant-microbiota field and put forward the idea of "reconstitution ecology", a SynCom inspired way of constructing artificial ecosystems nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/np…


I am looking for a post-doc researcher to work on my #ERC project EcoMEMO Università di Bologna. The position is for 2 years full time starting latest in March 2025, with lots of field and labwork. To apply visit the link bandi.unibo.it/ricerca/assegn… (in italian and english). More info ⬇️

Have you ever wondered how fungi respond to drought? It seems they’re pretty resistant, continuing to grow while investing more in storage. Check out this great study led by @Lou_tsia and Alberto Canarini!

New paper published in Microbiology Spectrum😍 doi.org/10.1128/spectr… co-authors: Pelle Ohlsson , Saleh Moradi, and Edith Hammer We observed that the sole connectivity of a microhabitat can determine the function (substrate degradation) of a soil community. How? (1/5)👇
