We updated our comparative genomics pipeline bacLIFE, it will now make use of BAKTA and BiG-SCAPE in addition to the newest PFAM and DBCAN database. LAGs and GCFs are now better annotated. Several other minor changes are included too. @vcarryon.bsky.social github.com/Carrion-lab/...

Similar microbes, different outcomes. Why do some rhizobial bacteroids fix nitrogen in legumes better than others? Check out the online version of our latest work by @poolelaboxford.bsky.social, an historical lab project showing how this comes down to differentiation 😉 ➡️ doi.org/10.1093/plph...

Developmental fates and N2-fixing efficiency of terminally-differentiated versus undifferentiated bacteroids from legume nodules

The higher symbiotic efficiency of pea bacteroids arises from their greater packing density and proteomic bias toward nitrogenase and dicarboxylate metabol

​Fascinating exchange of ideas at 6th Plant Microbiome Symposium - and new collaborations are already starting

Last month Applied Microbiology International supported the 6th Plant Microbiome Symposium in Antequera, Spain, funding 17 travel grants for early career researchers to attend. Organiser Dr Victor Jose Carrion Bravo reports back on a vibrant exchange of ideas.

Together with a team of great colleagues, we edit a collection titled "Harnessing plant microbiomes to improve performance and mechanistic understanding" nature.com/collections/cg… in the journals @natureportfolio.nature.com @microbiomej.bsky.social . It's open for submission till June 2026.

The last talk of #PMS2025 by Adam @adamoss.bsky.social from the lab of @vcarryon.bsky.social. Besides a great scientist Adam also organized a lot of the meeting.

@vcarryon.bsky.social closes the #PMS2025 meeting in Antequera, thanking the amazing Cruz Ruiz and her Acoeventis team and his fabulous local scientific team in Malaga.

Jos Raaijmakers thanks @vcarryon.bsky.social and his team for a totally incredible meeting in Antequeran Thanks Vic et al, it was a supermeeting. After ISBA2025 I know how much work it is! Have a well deserved little break.

Had a great week at #PSM2025 - excellent science, great organisation, and super friendly people. Really enjoyed presenting our work on the oak microbiome and leaving here with lots of ideas for future work and collaborations. Thanks @vcarryon.bsky.social & team for organising @microsos.bsky.social

Had such a great time at #PMS2025 🦠🌱 Met some of my favourite UK colleagues & made many new connections, especially in Spain! Huge shoutout to the organisers @vcarryon.bsky.social for putting together such an inspiring programme, creating the perfect atmosphere for networking & showing us Antequera!

Excellent week in Malaga for the #PMS25 top science and top social programmes @carmen-agro.bsky.social

Such a team @iandealidbury.bsky.social, more conferences like this! 🙌🏻 @rafamorcillo.bsky.social @iplantmicro.bsky.social @vcarryon.bsky.social And well done the Sheffield group, congrats to Alex on the poster prize! 😉
