Umweltmikrobiologin @barbarabayer.bsky.social ist Alumna des Erwin-Schrödinger-Programms des FWF und war an der University of California (USA). Zum 40-Jährigen Geburtstag des Programms haben wir sie zu ihren Erfahrungen befragt. #schrödingerstipendium 🌍 www.fwf.ac.at/entdecken/im...

I am super excited to share our new preprint "Contribution of ammonia oxidizers to inorganic carbon fixation in the dark ocean". This has been my absolute favorite project from my Postdoc at the Santoro Lab (UCSB) and @dome-vienna.bsky.social 🌊🦠 biorxiv.org/cgi/content/...

Contribution of ammonia oxidizers to inorganic carbon fixation in the dark ocean

Ammonia-oxidizing archaea are the most abundant chemolithoautotrophs in the ocean, comprising up to 40% of microbial cells in deep waters, and are assumed to dominate dissolved inorganic carbon (DIC) ...

Check out our new paper on metabolite release by marine nitrifiers and how B vitamin precursors can facilitate nitrifier-heterotroph interactions in the ocean. Thanks to all coauthors who contributed to this nice, collaborative project. 🌊 academic.oup.com/ismej/advanc...

Metabolite release by nitrifiers facilitates metabolic interactions in the ocean

Abstract. Microbial chemoautotroph-heterotroph interactions may play a pivotal role in the cycling of carbon in the deep ocean, reminiscent of phytoplankto

We're hiring @microbesplanet.bsky.social! There is an open PhD position in my group to explore the effects of oxygen fluctuations on aquatic microbiomes. Apply here: microplanet.at/wp7.3-phd2 @cemess.bsky.social @dome-vienna.bsky.social @univie.ac.at

Excited to receive an #ERCStG for the METHANIAQ project to investigate aquatic #methane cycling. Very grateful to my colleagues at #DOME & #CeMESS for their support. Special thanks to everyone on the #CliOMZ cruise who accommodated my ERC interview in the middle of the Pacific Ocean 🌊💙

Fantastic 1st Science Day of our FWF Cluster of Excellence "Microbiomes drive Planetary Health". Thanks to all participating key researchers from 8 research institutions and 5 new tenure trackers at our Centre for Microbiology at the University of Vienna. Next Science Day already in the planning...
