Seasonal transcriptomic shifts reveal metabolic flexibility of chemosynthetic symbionts in an upwelling region | mSystems The oceans are undergoing rapid change, and marine animals together with their associated microorganisms must adjust to these changes. While microbes are known to play a critical role in animal health...

Bacterial symbionts enjoy their seasonal produce! Our new work shows how chemosynthetic symbionts adjust their energy sources during seasonal upwelling in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, highlighting the resilience of animal-microbe partnerships to environmental change journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Hey Tyler! Thank you so much for such a supportive comment! Yea I will be doing a lot of extractions over the summer to get gene expression data💪.

Hey all - check this post if you’re at #ASMicrobe this weekend.

Let’s have a meet up tomorrow for a photo op of microbiologists on @bsky.app who are at #ASMicrobe!

Be there at 3 PM at the main entrance giant ASM sign!

In person meetups are super fun - please be there!

And plz repost!
