Oof I'm not great with bsky and just accidentally deleted my #NLSEB post on a cool talk from @danieltamarit.bsky.social ... sorry After a fantastic postdoc with MEG in Verbania /w @me-ester.bsky.social et al., I'm back in NL looking for the next thing to sink my teeth in. hmu if you know something!

Ester Eckert@me-ester.bsky.social · last yr.

The wonderfully talented post-doc Sven Iburg, who was working with me in the last two years is seeking a new positon, pref BENELUX area. Let me know if you have any openings or suggestions! He is a true alrounder, really good both in the lab and with bioinformatics. meg.irsa.cnr.it/index.php/pe...

💾 Prokka 1.15.6 is released! This is the last major release of Prokka. But don't be sad, because @oschwengers.bsky.social already has an excellent replacement called Bakta you can migrate to. #bioinformatics #microbiology #genomics github.com/tseemann/pro...

Release Heading into the sunset · tseemann/prokka

The future This is probably the last release of Prokka. I won't be making any code changes except bug fixes. I will update the databases occasionally. I strongly recommend you use Bakta by @oschwen...

Another great collaboration is out! ⭐️ "Widespread potential for phototrophy and convergent reduction of lifecycle complexity in the dimorphic order Caulobacterales" ⬇️ Check it out here ⬇️

Kristina Jonas@krijonas.bsky.social · 10mo ago

Excited to see our new work published! We have established the evolutionary and ecological context of our favorite model Caulobacter and made some unexpected findings. Who would have thought that close relatives lack dimorphism? And have potential for phototrophy? www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Metabolic interplay drives population cycles in a cross-feeding microbial community @natcomms.nature.com from @oventurelli2.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Metabolic interplay drives population cycles in a cross-feeding microbial community - Nature Communications

Here the authors leverage a crossfeeding, engineered microbial community to demonstrate that strain abundance cycles are robust across environmental conditions. They pair this with a nonlinear dynamic model to elucidate population cycles.

Does genome streamlining influence the prevalence and abundance of freshwater prokaryotes? Does metabolic interdependencies influence the co-occurrence of prokaryotes in freshwater ecosytems? ⬇️ We examine the answer to these questions in our new pre-print ⬇️
