Check out this work from Clavellab where they introduce the Human Intestinal Bacterial Collection (HiBC), containing 340 strains, including new species linked to health & disease. Check out the threads of this post. 🦠 Great job Thomas Hitch and team 👏

Here is the latest version of our preprint on vitamin auxotrophies tinyurl.com/bc65fjk9. Rachel Gregor's work has changed the way I think about microbial interactions and the importance of co-factors, like vitamins ... (1/2)

Next up at #AHC2024: 3D_omics' very own Itzhak Mizrahi of the Mizrahi Lab 🤩

Itzhak Mizrahi presenting about plasmid-microbial interactions and adaptations to gut environments #AHC2024 Applied Hologenomics Conference 2024 Mizrahi Lab

Now we dive into plasmids microbial interactions and host adaption to gut environments with Mizrahi Lab #AHC2024 Starting from dietary fibres - by definition not digestible by humans (albeit a few species with cellulose digestion capacity have been found in human guts)

Wow, actual structure and function of this ancient machinery of eukaryotes going back to Asgard archaea from The Elia Lab .

Interested in how microbial community assembly and coexistence relate to function? And how experimental choices affect them? Check out my review published today as part of a #COMICR themed issue edited by Alvaro Sanchez Lab Seppe Kuehn Lab! authors.elsevier.com/a/1jRMl4tPFpdY…

Back to popular demand, the Microbiome Israel Workshop!🦠🧫 This lineup is unbelievable! All microbiomes included!

Quantifying microbial interactions is key to understanding ecosystems, but tricky to quantify. Great review by Jonathan Friedman, Nittay Meroz & Tal Livny on methods & pitfalls. 🦠 pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/39002491/

Our August issue is live! This month we focus on microbial ecology, with a collection of pieces that showcase progress towards understanding the relationships between microbes, viruses and their ecosystems. nature.com/nmicrobiol/vol…

How do plasmids interact with their bacterial hosts? 🧬🦠 New research from Alvaro San Millan & Laura Toribio-Celestino uncovers fascinating crosstalk between plasmids and chromosomes. Really cool!💡 biorxiv.org/content/10.110…

Extremely happy to see the final published version of this study out NatureEcoEvo I really think this is one of our most important contributions to the field! nature.com/articles/s4155…

עכשיו בעברית, ובצורה יותר רשמית: פרוייקט שאני מאוד מחכה לראות אותו מתממש, מומן לאחרונה ע"י הISF. עכשיו מחפשת את האחד או האחת שיגרמו לו לקרות. אז אם אתם אוהבים מיקרוביולוגיה סביבתית, גנומים ובייחוד וירוסים, אשמח לשמוע מכם. אשמח אם תפיצו. תודה!

My favourite discovery ever has just come online. Can I please tell you about some seriously wacky molecular biology? The story starts with a reverse transcriptase that SOMEHOW defends bacteria from viruses. (👇 I recommend sound ON for the video 🎹) 1/

Amazing talk by Mizrahi Lab at #ISPB2024 🤯 A great start for this second day of conference

We are launching the MIT Bioeconomy Seminar Series together with Mark Bathe. Join us if you are in the Boston area. #bioeconomy bioeconomy-seminar-series.org

Had an incredible time at #ISPB2024! An amazing society International Society for Plasmid Biology and MGEs—learned so much and met great people. Thanks to the organizers, speakers, and presenters for such an inspiring event. Looking forward to the next meetings!

Thrilled to share that our PhD students, Sarah.lital & Ido Grinshpan, won Best Poster Awards at the national meeting of the Israel Society of Microbiology #ISM2024. Congrats to both on their outstanding work! 🥇
