We think that EET may be an overlooked respiratory strategy in peatlands with implications for CH₄ emissions.

Classical electron acceptors are scarce at depth, but Obradović et al. (2024) showed peat POM can accept electrons in the same bogs, pointing to POM as a candidate electron acceptor.
Do microbes breathe peat? 🦠⚡🌿
New preprint: we sampled Swedish bogs to 7 m and found dominant, uncultured Acidobacteriota & Verrucomicrobiota encode conserved extracellular electron transfer (EET) machinery that was transcriptionally active all the way down.
I highly recommend attending the #SSM2026 in Montreux 🇨🇭from 26-28. August 2026! You can expect a great mix of science and career development. Don't miss the abstract deadline May 24th.🦠🧬🧫 EnvMicrobiol ETH will be there!

New preprint alert 🚨:
Who actually drives methane production in anoxic sediments 🧬🔥?
We point to a transcriptionally dominant 🦠 clade: VadinHA17.

Come and work with us in a beautiful corner of Germany: 5 years of funding for your microbiology research and lots of great colleagues 🦠🧫
I am excited to announce that MSU's Thermal Biology Institute, for which I serve as director since July 2025, is now officially the EXTREME BIOLOGY INSTITUTE (EBI)! 🦠 🔬 Thread below but your TLDR: rebranding ourself the EBI will bring in new research teams, now research directions, and new funds.
