Very happy that the second paper from my PhD is now available!
We dove into one family of Verrucomicrobiota to evaluate their adaptations to different environments, focusing on the animal associated and aquatic groups. Check it out!
More on this work in our institute's press release:
Looking back at a highlight from 2025: Great energy at the 2025 SALTO Symposium we organized at the MPI for Marine Microbiology! Researchers from Germany, France, Spain, Portugal, and Australia joined us in Bremen to explore the evolutionary links between specialized bacteria and their algal hosts.
We just released #anvio v9, "eunice" 🎉
This version represents over 2,000 changes in the codebase since v8, increasing the total number of programs in the anvi'o ecosystem to 176.

Do microbes reinvent their metabolism when shifting ecosystems? 🌊ðŸ¦
Marine and gut Akkermansiaceae share conserved glycan uptake. Ecological transitions may reflect substrate specialization on an inherited framework. @mpimarinemicrobio.bsky.social @erc.europa.eu #microsky
