Excited to share our work from Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺: Chlamydial contribution to anaerobic metabolism during eukaryotic evolution online now with @scienceAdvances. advances.sciencemag.org/content/6/35/e… thread below:

Our latest work: Hikarchaeia demonstrate an intermediate stage in the methanogen-to-halophile transition Great work by @JoranMartijn Max Emil Schön Anders Lind with contributions from Anja Spang (she/her) Tom Williams (tweethinking.bsky.social) & Julian Vosseberg rdcu.be/b9tQg

1/ How do microbial eukaryotes and prokaryotes work together to survive in anoxic environments? Come join my lab at @Biology_LU as a PhD student to investigate the #evolution and #molecular basis of metabolic syntrophy in anaerobic #protists. #phdpositions tinyurl.com/syntrophy

We deposited this preprint showing that the plastid-lacking Picozoa, from the uncultured majority of eukaryotic microbes, are related to red algae. We discuss the implications of this finding for plastid origin. Picozoa are archaeplastids without plastid biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Exciting new insights in the evolution of plastids. Great collaborative work from Max Emil Schön Fabien Burki Jeremy Wideman @jfh_strassert @pjkeelinglab and many others!

Happy to share the TRAPID 2.0 paper! 🎉 Read the thread below for an overview 🧵👇... Or read the full article here: academic.oup.com/nar/advance-ar…

Hi there! I am not going to tell you what to do during your vacations. However, I am here to spread the news about the new phylum of fungi! Sanchytriomycota! So keep relaxing while reading about it in our new publication in Nature Communications DEEM team Orsay nature.com/articles/s4146…

Our latest preprint: We identified free-living relatives of Rickettsiales, a clade of obligate host-associated bacteria, and reconstruct their evolutionary road towards host association. biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Now in print, with a new title and more analyses. But the conclusions remain: Picozoa are archeplastids without plastids. Thanks to all the authors for a very enjoyable collaboration, especially Max Emil Schön for leading the analyses nature.com/articles/s4146…

Single cell genomics reveals plastid-lacking Picozoa are close relatives of red algae nature.com/articles/s4146… Nature Communications

New #SystBioPapers published in Nature Communications Max Emil Schön et al made a discovery that raises big questions for plastid evolution nature.com/articles/s4146… Among the authors former and present Systematic Biology Programme members! Congratulations Max Emil Schön Vasily Zlatogursky @jfh_strassert Fabien Burki

Cool to see our paper on Picozoa evolution featured in the editors' highlight Ecology and Evolution page Nature Communications nature.com/collections/ja…

Ever wondered how bacterial pathogens evolved? In our latest work, we provide insight about how obligate host-associated Rickettsiales evolved from free-living relatives. See here: nature.com/articles/s4156…. Great work by Max Emil Schön @JoranMartijn Julian Vosseberg & Stephan Köstlbacher

I am one of the collegues 🕺 Excited to share the first paper out of my post-doc! Very fun and inpiring working with Max Emil Schön, @JoranMartijn, Julian Vosseberg, and Thijs J. G. Ettema 🦠🔬🇳🇱🇸🇪🇪🇺 on the evolution of host association in Rickettsiales. Laboratory of Microbiology at WUR
