Hey y'all, exciting news!
New paper in preprint :).
Nucleocytoviricota discovery, virophages, polinton-like viruses with a touch of ecology and evolution!

The version of record of our revised preprint is finally out today. In it, we introduce a fast and reliable methdology for the full factorial design of microbial communities, i.e. constructing every monoculture, pair, trio, four-member,... n-member co-culture of N strains.

And here it is: the final protocols for your future favorite 16S rRNA gene primer pair for anplicon sequencing studies -> V4EXT.
P.S. Mighty are the small ones - metric💩tons of Patescibacteria everywhere. Except in 💩, that is.

Excited to share that our podcast 'Die Welt der Mikroben - The World of Microbes' launches tomorrow, March 27. Florian Freistetter (DE) & Rebecca Gallo + CoE Key Researchers (EN) explore the hidden world of microbes with MicroPlanet. New episodes every 2 weeks! #Microsky #Archaeasky #scicomm
What if universities used undergraduates to make biological reagents? No, I don’t mean melting the students. I mean training people in biomanufacturing to reduce research costs. Thread + diagram, hopefully thought-provoking
Es geht los! 🚀
Folge 1 unseres Podcasts „Die Welt der Mikroben“. Mit Florian Freistetter reisen wir zu den Anfängen: Von römischen Sümpfen bis zur Mundhygiene des 17. Jhd.

The Genome Taxonomy Database (GTDB) is an initiative to establish a standardised microbial taxonomy based on genome phylogeny.
A rapid, inexpensive, and easy to implement experimental protocol enables the construction of combinatorially complete sets of microbial consortia.

Abstract. Primer bias in 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing can distort microbial diversity estimates by underrepresenting key taxa. We introduce a modified
