Big congrats to @ameliarnelson.bsky.social and coauthors on this new preprint. 🎉
We're excited to share this work on microbial CO2 fixation across diverse soil ecosystems, highlighting widespread carbon fixation potential and expanded RuBisCO diversity. Check it out: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.6...
Today in Nature Communications, a team of IGI researchers from The Banfield Lab and Pam Ronald's labs uncover a new way to reduce methane emissions from rice by influencing the activity of rice paddy soil #microbes. Read more: https://ow.ly/45j150Y3WsI
🧬 New preprint out from @lingdong-shi.bsky.social et al. on the origin and evolution of archaeal Borg extrachromosomal elements across different environments.
Congratulations Ling-Dong and co-authors!

Big congrats to Susan Mullen and coauthors on this new preprint. 🎉
We're excited to share this work exploring microbial dispersal and establishment across river water, groundwater, soil, and hyporheic zone environments in the East River watershed.

Congratulations @wshuai.bsky.social and co-authors!
We’re excited to introduce MODIFI, our new scalable method for detecting DNA modifications in PacBio metagenomic data and estimating ECE-host linkage.

Super excited to share the final project of my postdoc career! We found that Borgs and mini-Borgs are widespread across diverse ecosystems. They don't just exist in Banfield Lab — they are everywhere! 🌎

🌀 We solved the structure for T. denticola periplasmic flagella!
I'm very happy to finally showcase this work. A huge collaborative effort between myself, @bindusmitapaul.bsky.social, @debnathghosal.bsky.social, Jack Kim, @banfieldlab.bsky.social, Eric Reynolds and the Chris Fenno lab.
🦠 Enjoy!
Excited to share a preprint from my postdoc research at @ucberkeleyofficial.bsky.social in the @banfieldlab.bsky.social!
We surveyed soil microbiomes for autotrophy - and found it nearly everywhere, but most abundant in deep, saturated soils. Check it out below!

Excited to share our discovery of archaeal circular, jumbo extrachromosomal elements (up to ~535 kb genomes). One related, 409-kb genome is integrated in CH4-eating Methanoperedens, representing the largest integrative element in Archaea so far! Curious about what they are doing? See the paper
