Great opportunity for everyone who is interested in marine microbiology!

Our DC06 paper is out :) Anaerobic Degradation of Non-Methane Alkanes by “Candidatus Methanoliparia” in Hydrocarbon Seeps of the Gulf of Mexico mbio.asm.org/content/10/4/e…

I'm happy to share my first first-author publication! Three years of work and a large chunk of my PhD is out. It is so much fun working with my pet Archaea and there is so much more exciting things to be discovered with them :) mbio.asm.org/content/11/2/e…

Selfie 2000m under the sea visiting the home of my ethane munching archaea! So grateful for this amazing experience Gunter Wegener

Our new sino-german review on MCR containing microorganisms. Always fun to work with the Wangs :) sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/14…

Happy to share our preprint about Archaea that live in very interesting neighborhoods in the Guaymas Basin subseafloor. Luke McKay #subseafloorLife #CDEBI #GuaymasBasin #UNC biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

I would love to see this realized! Vote if you'd also like see a Lego Polarstern being made :) ideas.lego.com/content/projec…

Down in the #DeepSea anaerobic microbes are feeding on natural gas and crude oil Check out this great story from Gunter Wegener Deep Sea Ecology and Technology Group (Habitat) Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology Max Planck Society in our special deep-sea issue j.mp/39DJ0eA

Ethane instead of methane, how can archaea access non-methane alkanes? The first structure of a non-canonical MCR or better ECR at an amazing resolution of 0.99Å. I'm more than grateful to Gunter Wegener, Olivier Lemaire and Tristan Wagner!science.sciencemag.org/content/373/65…

In marine sediments, methane oxidation is coupled to sulfate reduction by an archaea-bacteria consortium. Who does what + how does their symbiosis work + are the methanotrophic archaea all that different? Just out in The ISME Journal with Victoria Orphan et al! nature.com/articles/s4139…

Happy to see my "first first" published! Thank you to all co-authors Cristina Moraru, Antje Wichels,Georg Krohne, @EvelienAdri, Anneke Heins, Bernhard Fuchs, Rudi Amann and my awesome group @MolEcol_MPIMM, Max Planck Institute for Marine Microbiology Find out more about Flavophages! nature.com/articles/s4139…

It's done! I'm excited to share that I submitted my dissertation today!

I'm done! I defended my PhD successfully yesterday and I feel so incredibly relieved! I'm so grateful to my supervisors and committee. Also, I had the best possible support from my family, my wife and my two little ones 💖 and the bigger one was cheering for his Papa!

Manganese oxidizing chemolithoautotroph story continues! Here we show that microbes with the genomic potential to feed on manganese for calories and electrons could be found in freshwater and marine environments worldwide. Preprint: biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Great perspectives article about my favorite enzyme and it's structural characteristics by my colleagues Tristan Wagner and Olivier Lemaire. A must read if you're interested in anaerobic oxidation of alkanes! pubs.acs.org/doi/10.1021/ac…

Amazing opportunity to work in a great lab with an excellent and super supportive PI! Also, you'd be working with the fastest-growing alkane oxidizers. These amazing Archaea are full of surprises and a goldmine for novel discoveries!
