Many of you gave me so much encouragement when I posted here earlier about my 10 year long passion project to make a microbial map of the ocean. Pinch me because I can't believe I get to update you that today that research was published in the journal SCIENCE! @science.org

This framework offers a controlled yet ecologically relevant platform for studying microbial dynamics in freshwater systems and unraveling phototroph–heterotroph interactions.

This enabled three key advances in the study of cyanobacterial communities:

1. Identification of core microbiomes across diverse cyanobacterial strains

🚨 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.
