Happy to be a part of this!

Pleased to share this work on cable bacteria. We demonstrate that E.aureum GS, a freshwater cable bacterium, can use extracellular electron transfer to gain energy in anoxic conditions. Many thanks to @leodigel.bsky.social , @ianpgm.bsky.social and other coauthors at @cemau.bsky.social

Postdoctoral position on methanotrophic bacteria - Vacancy at Aarhus University Vacancy at Department of Biology - Microbiology, Aarhus University

I'm recruiting a postdoc to figure out how aerobic methanotrophic bacteria oxidise methane in anoxic freshwater sediment environments: international.au.dk/about/profil... Come to Aarhus University in Denmark and work on this 2-year project funded by @villumfonden.bsky.social!

Congratulations, Ian! 🎉

Thanks to @villumfonden.bsky.social for supporting my weird ideas again with a Villum Experiment project! Set to start next year: AGAMBLE – Anaerobic Growth of Aerobic Methanotrophic Bacteria in Lake Environments. Job ad for a 2-year postdoc position coming soon!

Hey ISMET member ✋
Did you think we could use a new website too?
Well here it is: www.is-met.org.

It was a pleasure working with @ismetsociety.bsky.social to make their website more engaging and interesting for their members.

Do you also have a website that could use some polishing?

Last week, Prof. @larspeternielsen.bsky.social was the opening speaker at the 20th Congress of the Argentinian Microbiological Society in Puerto Madryn, Patagonia🌎
Exciting to see cable bacteria joining electromicrobiology research in Argentina🔬👏We look forward to future collaborations with SAMIGE.

Our lab is 2.5 years into #ERC funding✨

Grateful for the support that enabled us to uncover the syncytial nerve net in a ctenophore - a discovery reshaping our understanding of nervous system evolution. Stay tuned for more exciting discoveries to come @erc.europa.eu

Dissemination Artwork: Cross Section at Junction. Bringing together art and research is incredibly rewarding.
We are privileged to have this beautiful piece on display. Created by Matilda Tjelldén, the work is inspired by our research - and in turn, we are deeply inspired by Matilda's art.

Ctenophores possess a unique aboral organ that acts as a multisensory center, controlling complex behaviors. We’ve now created a ctenophore model integrated with our 3D volume EM data. Puts it into perspective.

Check out our recent work here: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

New preprint from the @pawelburkhardt.bsky.social lab 🤩 @annaferraioli.bsky.social & colleagues created a 3D model of the ctenophore apical organ, revealing cell-type diversity and exciting new insights into the evolution of central nervous systems 🧠🧪 Congratulations to the team! 👏

Exciting news from the Royal Society Publishing: our journals will be fully open access in 2026 as we move to adopt the 'Subscribe to Open' model:
