Microbiome science needs more microbiologists - Nature Microbiology Microbiome science is a multi-disciplinary field, but classical microbiologists are needed to ensure advances are grounded in our understanding of basic microbiological concepts.

Completely agree. The field also critically needs biochemists, biogeochemists, and true ecologists too. To become more mechanistic rather than observational, and bounded in biogeochemical principles and ecological frameworks. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

In our latest @naturefood.bsky.social article rdcu.be/d6uiN we used dung collected at 760 sites to map livestock & wild herbivores across drylands. Our results show that livestock and wild herbivore grazing is globally disconnected & highlight herbivore activity hotspots πŸπŸ„πŸŒ

Siderophore synthetase-receptor gene coevolution reveals habitat- and pathogen-specific bacterial iron interaction networks Coevolving siderophore genes shape bacterial iron networks, unveiling the complexity of cheating across habitats and lifestyles.

We derive iron-siderophore interaction networks among Pseudomonas strains from sequencing data. One key insight: natural strains form dense networks, whereas pathogens are loners. With @frimanscience.bsky.social @zhiyuanli.bsky.social & Nanjing colleagues
