All set and ready for #ISME20 in Auckland, NZ. Excited to present my research on oak microbiome and tree disease suppression (Session AS29) and on methanotrophy in tree stems (Poster PS3.15.091) 🌳🔬

Cell Host & Microbe@cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social · 8mo agoOur February issue--now live--is deeply rooted in exciting new microbiology! On the cover: Microbial communities associated with semi-mature oak trees are remarkably resilient in the face of environmental challenges. www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...
The pre print of my PhD research is out! 📣 Check it out for some cool results on high-throuhput microbial isolation, #SynComs and #Tree #Microbiome 🌳🧫 doi.org/10.1101/2025... #PhDone 💯
Large-scale culturing of the tree microbiome enables targeted disease suppression
The tree microbiome is essential for host health and pathogen suppression. Synthetic microbial communities (SynComs) are emerging as important tools to understand microbiome dynamics and engineer micr...

🎉 My poster is up and ready to go at #2025ISMPMI. Excited to share our work on #SynComs for #AOD pathogen suppression in oak trees 🌳🧫 Check out poster P-324 during Session 2 - I'll be presenting on Thu, 13.30-15.15 pm @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social @marccamb.bsky.social
I am a bit late, but very proud of the achievements of Dr. Hussain who was my first co-supervised PhD researcher and brilliantly passed his viva. Well done Usman for processing thousands of samples to bring some fascinating insights on the resilience of oak tree microbiomes.
James McDonald@jamesemcdonald.bsky.social · last yr.Big congratulations to Dr. Usman Hussain on his successful PhD defence yesterday! A tour-de-force in abiotic impacts on the oak microbiota. Thanks to Corinne Whitby and Alex Papadopulos and co- supervisors @marccamb.bsky.social and Amy Ellison

Another great outcome for @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social's group with prizes for best talk and best poster with @alejandra1909.bsky.social 🥳🥳. Plus the next MMEG to be held in Birmingham! #MMEG2024
It's so nice being back at #MMEG2024 in Southampton finally presenting the results of our study in insect-bacteria interactions @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social @gathomas12.bsky.social
On our way to #MMEG2024 in Southampton. Looking forward to two days of exciting science! @marccamb.bsky.social
