We are now offering two Post Doctoral positions in Microbial Ecology to investigate investigate how warming, drought, thawing frost, and extreme weather will impact on soil microbial communities.

Please apply no later than 19 July!

#EMBO_ZRing gala dinner, Whole new meaning to microbial communities. Colony morphology resembles S.aureus more than E.coli. No red or white nutrient limitation this far

Our study on Antarctic microbiomes reveals the differential selection of microbial communities in rocks and soils and examines the impact of extracellular DNA on estimating environmental trends in this region.

How did the Ecological Dynamics of Microbial Communities: new approaches workshop benefit early career researchers?

See what made this workshop valuable to early career researchers with insights from Karna Gowda Karna Gowda, Assistant Professor of Microbiology at Ohio State

Soil microbiology plays a crucial role in agricultural health by maintaining soil fertility, promoting plant growth, and controlling pathogenic organisms. The diverse microbial communities in soil, including bacteria, fungi, and archaea, engage in complex interactions that

Anthropogenic climate disruptions have led to regional changes in temperature and precipitation patterns that will continue to affect soil microbial communities- Nature.com

Seawater microbes are a reef’s 1st responders. Shifts in microbial communities correlate directly to environmental changes. During the #GreatBarrierReef #bleaching event, we sampled microbial communities to ID which may be used for predictive monitoring➡️ bit.ly/4c6jRqz

WSU scientist Tim Paulitz, honored below, gave a great talk, Glyphosate and Soil Microbial Communities: Fake News vs. Facts.

Soil tillage causes loss of larger soil fauna and disruption of soil food webs and fungal hyphal networks.The misuse or overuse of fertilizers may have a negative impact on soil microbial communities and fauna.

Stromatolites are microbial communities that housed some of the first #microorganisms on Earth. These microorganisms released oxygen, transforming Earth’s early atmosphere into one that allowed for the evolution of more complex, oxygen-breathing organisms. #Tbt

New paper in Nature Communications demonstrates that land conversion to agriculture induces taxonomic homogenization of soil microbial communities globally.

Based on 2400 samples across six continents.

Super proud of our PhD students!
Both presented their work on hydrothermal vents from the Red Sea - Isabel is using several geochemistry approaches combined with metatranscriptomics, and Sharifa is deciphering the microbial communities and their potencial functionalities. 👏👏
