Lovely to see Sandra Denman presenting our work on bacteria-beetle interactions in AOD at the Herefordshire Parkland Conference @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social @gathomas12.bsky.social @imibirmingham.bsky.social Check out the paper here: doi.org/10.1093/jamb...
Super proud to be part of this brilliant team. Check out this new paper and cool journal cover!
James McDonald@jamesemcdonald.bsky.social · 6mo agoDelighted to see our work on the impact of drought on the oak microbiome featured on the cover of @cp-cellhostmicrobe.bsky.social Link to the article below this post 👇🏻
Do go and check out this tour de force by @alejandra1909.bsky.social and @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social where we isolated a HUGE number of microorganisms from the oak microbiome in the UK. Impressive work and talent from Ale!

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...

Go and check out the pre-print of the landscape-scale tree microbiome study from the Future Oak project. Huge amounts of efforts and talent went into this work, with a pinch of "this is crazy, but we can do it". Well done @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social @cenococcum.bsky.social et al. Thread below 👇

Many thanks @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social & @marccamb.bsky.social for the hospitality and organising everything so nicely for our visit. I had a great time! I look forward to continuing our tree-microbe discussions, with @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social & @xinmingxu.bsky.social Hope to see you soon! 🌳🍄🦠
James McDonald@jamesemcdonald.bsky.social · last yr.We are holding a mini symposium on plant-microbe interactions @unibirmingham.bsky.social today as part of our strategic partnership with @unileiden.bsky.social - exciting talks by Alice Gauthey and @sofiaifgomes.bsky.social
Really nice talk on developing synthetic microbial communities for plant growth (with a fantastic title slide!) by @xinmingxu.bsky.social @unibirmingham.bsky.social @unileiden.bsky.social #BhamLeidenpartnership
Discussing about plants in the Winterbourne garden during our collaboration visit at University of Birmingham #BirminghamLeidenCollaboration -with @marccamb.bsky.social @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social @sofiaifgomes.bsky.social & @xinmingxu.bsky.social "How do you call this plant in 🇫🇷, 🇵🇹, 🇨🇳, 🇬🇧, or 🇭🇺?"
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
Thank you @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social for such a great organisation and everyone for the fantastic discussions. I even managed to visit Amsterdam Microbe Museum before catching my train! Looking forward to hosting you, @sofiaifgomes.bsky.social and Xinming in Birmingham !
Ákos T Kovács@evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social · last yr.Thank you, @jamesemcdonald.bsky.social & @marccamb.bsky.social for your visit in Leiden, discussing cool ideas around plant-microbe interactions, exploring #leidenbotanicalgarden 👋 see you again soon!
It was a great day in Leiden today, with lots of cool science talks and future collaborations discussions. Thanks @evolvedbiofilm.bsky.social and team for organising this mini symposium, and looking forward to more discussions tomorrow
