#FermeScholen on tour! Pre-conference walk to #Auckland #Maungawhau . The #ISME20 conference is at the needle in the background.
And now for a fun week of #microbiology , #MicrobialEcology and #microbialLiteracy
Looking forward to it! -
Auckland #ISME20 day -3: got to our flat. Clean but funny smell. We tracked to the stovetop hood. After some initial #decontamination (peanut butter / caramelly substance came off, took us 2 of 4 toilet rolls provided), I dared my fingers deep enough inside to feel for an opening mechanism.
Grills in the dish washer, inside hood clean again. We'll leave a flow chart for the owner to help with avoiding this kind of hazmat situation in the future.
#MicrobialEcology is what we came for - owner is lucky to have rented his flat to three #labrats and a hazmat advisor ☣️⚠️✨ -
A fecal microbiota transplant's efficacy relies on whether specific bacterial strains can successfully colonize the gut and replace existing bacteria, rather than the overall dose or species diversity introduced. The human gut acts as a highly selective biological filter that only accepts particular bacterial strains on a permanent basis.

As climate-driven sea level rise increases the salinity of freshwater environments, aquatic microbial communities lose biodiversity but maintain their overall growth rate and biomass production.

There is so much fascinating resarch to do in this amazing world! :ecoanarchism_heart:

Microbes adapt to entirely new habitats—such as migrating from soil to freshwater lakes—by utilizing two divergent evolutionary pathways: expanding their genome to acquire new functional traits, or drastically reducing their genome to minimize resource dependency.

CW: Post-doctoral researcher in soil microbial ecology at the University of Girona
The Post-doc will join the local and international team of the project “Microbial
biodiversity and Carbon Use Efficiency as Nature-based solution (NBS) for soil carbon
stabilization (BIOCUE)”. BIOCUE investigates how NBS affect soil carbon balance by
studying their impact on microbial diversity, function, and Carbon Use Efficiency (CUE)
(https://www.biodiversa.eu/2025/04/08/50695/). The successful candidate will contribute
to the experimental work, data analysis, preparing manuscripts, and publishing them in scientific journals, presenting the research outputs at local and international conferences and engaging with stakeholders. The post-doc will also collaborate to analysis and publication of experimental data from a previous Biodiversa+ project from the same team
(GradCatch, https://www1.bio.ku.dk/gradcatch/ ).
Post-doc starting 01.03.2026 for a period of 2 years (starting can be delayed some
months if required by the selected candidate).- Requirements: PhD in biology or environmental sciences, with a strong background in ecology and microbiology.
- Solid knowledge of data analysis and excellent writing skills.
- A collaborative mindset.To apply for this position, you will need to submit your CV including names and contact of two referees. The call will appear and be open from 19 to 31st of January 2026 in this link: https://www.udg.edu/en/coneix/treballa-a-la-udg/personal-docent-iinvestigador/convocatories-carrec-projectes/ofertes-de-treball-temporal-post

🎉 New pipeline day 🎉
🦠 A big question for #metagenomics #MicrobialEcology or #microbiome researchers is: which tool and database to use for taxonomic classification?
🤔 For both often the answer changes on a case-by-case basis, but we can help people make their databases.
🚀 The open-source nf-core/createtaxdb pipeline (https://nf-co.re/createtaxdb) automates building of custom databases for 9 classification tools - all in parallel!
🗪 Interested? DM me or join the nf-core slack!
