Our Session title: "Integrating #Genomics, #Metabolomics, and Control Strategies to Address Harmful Algal and #Cyanobacterial Blooms", Chaired by Petra Visser, Dail Laughinghouse, @anastasiahiskia.bsky.social.

Implementing the MCheM setup is pretty easy, and all reagents and hardware components are commercially available and relatively cheap.
MCheM data analysis is supported in @mzmine.bsky.social @gnps2.bsky.social and SIRIUS (@brightgiant.bsky.social) and free for academic researchers.

Thanks so much to everybody who made this interdisciplinary project possible. And epically the editor and the three reviewers at @natcomms.nature.com for their throughout positive feedback.

Enhancing tandem mass spectrometry-based metabolite annotation with online chemical labeling - Nature Communications To improve annotation in non-targeted metabolomics studies, authors develop a Multiplexed Chemical Metabolomics (MCheM) platform, combining post-column derivatization with integrated data processing. ...

New paper from the group. Together with Chambers Hughes, Giovanni Vitale and our amazing collaborators, we developed a multiplexed chemical metabolomics workflow to assign functional groups in non-targeted LC-MS/MS data:

Cyanobacteria alert for Barnstable pond BARNSTABLE – A cyanobacteria alert has been issued for a Barnstable pond. Town officials have been notified of the potentially toxic blooms for Hinckley’s Pond. Officials urge visitors …

A #cyanobacteria alert has been issued for #Barnstable's Hinckley’s Pond. Officials urge visitors to avoid contact with any algae blooms and keep pets away www.capecod.com/newscenter/l...

Could a virus be our weapon against harmful blue-green algae? Cyanobacteria, a.k.a. blue-green algae, is a common problem on some cottage lakes. Could a virus hold the key to fighting it?

Don’t judge a lake by its colour.

In The Media: WI member Dr. Jozef Nissimov explores how viruses that attack cyanobacteria could help clear toxic algal blooms—but may leave behind hidden toxins.

#Cyanobacteria #AlgalBlooms

Toxic algae releases chemicals to suppress competitors | Cornell Chronicle A new study examines how a cyanobacteria manipulates its environment to give itself advantages to take over the water column, leading to harmful algal blooms and mats in lakes during hot summers.

To analyse bioelectrical pathways, we interfaced thylakoid membranes isolated from #cyanobacteria with structured #electrodes. These #membranes contain a highly complex network of electron transfer, including electron transport chains for #photosynthesis and #respiration. (2/10)

🥳🥳 Our work exploring the core microbiomes of stable cyanobacterial communities is now out in the @isme-microbes.bsky.social Journal!!! Excellent work by @andrejakust.bsky.social and company!

#microbiology #cyanobacteria #metagenomics

🚨 Fresh from the press! We created and analyzed over 100 in vitro cyanobacterial consortia using well-characterized model cyanobacterial hosts to better understand how cyanobacteria recruit and interact with their microbiomes.

Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Are their any #cyanobacteria researchers that are affiliated with sciencemoab.org?

I remember there being an ad-hoc journal club related to this group, and I'd like to contact them. 🦠🧬👀

Just like

Marine #cyanobacteria are"the smallest known photosynthetic organisms; Prochlorococcus is the smallest at just 0.5 to 0.7 micrometres in diameter. The coccoid shaped cells are #nonMotile and #freeLiving."

There are five flasks containing cyanobacteria cultures, four of which have different shades of green and one of which is pink

It’s always a very colorful day when one works with #cyanobacteria 🤩🧪🔬🥼

And just like that, #SETACVienna is over. But even on the last day, we had some great talks, with topics such as the transfer of #PFAS in marine mammals, and the fluxes of #bisphenols and #phthalates in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm already looking forward to #SETAC2026!

Cigarette butt on the floor in front of the Hofburg in Vienna

Tomorrow (13.05) at #SETACViena, I will be presenting a poster (Tu036) on the impact of multiple #stressors on #cyanobacterial metabolism🧪.

Spoiler alert 👀: I will be talking about cigarette butts 🚬and chytrid #parasites. Come and visit me if you would like to find out more!
