Did you think that filtering water with 0.2 μm pore size filters catches all the bacteria? Think again! And join us a we take a look at the smallest of the small, across three of the legenday seven seas of yore (Bay of Biscay, Mediterranean and the Red Sea)

In the largest study of its kind, scientists in the Bork Group at EMBL have found that a small subset of microbes can carry and transfer genes across disparate habitats, creating a planet-wide, interconnected network of microbiomes 🌍 🦠

We are thrilled to announce the newest study from our lab (and great collaborators) is out now in @nature.com
We show that #coral #microbes are untapped "biosynthetic reservoirs", full of unique
natural products.

🧬 Diatoms are an extraordinarily diverse group of photosynthetic organisms, with tens of thousands of described species.
Yet technical challenges still limit large-scale diatom genome production.
EBP projects and biodiversity genomics R&D teams are working to solve them. 🌊🔬

The existence of prokaryotes escaping filtration through 0.2-μm filters has been known for decades. Such ‘filterable’ prokaryotes (hereafter ‘FP’) might include true ultra-small groups (i.e., ultrami...
