Like an old friend I have not seen for a decade - so much of our early work was done on this strain. Thanks to Curtis Suttle & team for the genome. Complete Genome Sequence of Vibrio natriegens Strain PWH3a | Microbiology Resource Announcements journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mr…

Thanks for the shout out. This is still a work horse for us, and the host for a model host-phage system. Thanks to Kevin X. Zhong and twitterless Amy Chan and Anwar Al-Qattan for finally getting this past the goal line.

Happening now - recording of 'This week in virology (TWiV)' with MicrobeTV, @jedfuhrman and @foaylward in the 11th Aquatic Virus Workshop #avw11 in Quebec city, Canada.

This is what viral diversity looks like! biorxiv.org/content/10.110… Together with our EM wizard Ulrike Mersdorf at Max Planck Institute for Medical Research and Jeff Blanchard at UMass Amherst, I am thrilled and proud to present our latest work on virus-like particles on soil! (1/7)

Interesting in glacier viruses? We present the supraglacial virus genome (SgVG) catalog, a 15-fold expanded genomic inventory of 10,840 DNA-virus species from 38 mountain and polar glaciers, spanning habitats such as snow, ice, meltwater, and cryoconite sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Delighted to have the opportunity to speak at the World Laureates Forum on Ocean Based Solutions for Carbon Neutralization. UN Special Envoy for the Ocean, Peter Thompson emphasizing the need to stop subsidies of offshore fishing.

Jean-Pierre Gattuso reminds us of the monumental task of removing CO2 from the atmosphere and the opportunities and challenges of marine CDR.

Gerhard Herndl introduces the role of microbes in carbon capture in the ocean

Congratulations - this is fantastic news!

Hot off the press! doi.org/10.1128/aem.00…. Our experiment reveals a fascinating duality: Pacific oyster spat microbiomes are resilient to ocean acidification yet vulnerable to rising temperatures, a new insight on how #ClimateChange may impact on oyster spat microbiomes.

Great work led by Kevin X. Zhong and the scientific team Hakai Institute, with contributions by @JanFinke5 and many others. Stay tuned for more results!

How many SAR11 cells are phage-infected in the environment? And what are zombies🧟‍♂️? We studied phage infection in SAR11 using the🔬. Up to 19% of SAR11 cells were phage infected and many host cells were devoid of ribosomes🧟‍♂️! What else did we find? A 🧵 researchsquare.com/article/rs-407…

A fantastic postdoc position in bioinformatic microbiome research is available in The Sonnenburg Lab at Stanford! I'm leaving after 4 great years to start my lab at Boulder, and Justin is looking to fill my position. DM me or email Justin ([email protected]) for questions

Do endogenous virophages protect their protist hosts from giant viruses? For the marine heterotrophic flagellate Cafeteria sp., it very much seems so. Congrats to Anna Koslová, Thomas Hackl and co-workers at Max Planck Institute for Medical Research on a new study published in PNASNews ! pnas.org/doi/10.1073/pn…

Don’t miss it !!!!!! Please pass it on as large as possible #IS3DV2025
