New paper out in Current Opinion in Microbiology: MCR-encoding (potentially methanogenic) Thermoproteota are widespread and transcriptionally active in diverse anoxic ecosystems! @dr-zj.bsky.social, Matthew Kellom & @emileyeloe-fadrosh.bsky.social. Funded by DOE BER program. tinyurl.com/2fsyxswj 🦠🧪
Date availability: The datasets used and/or analysed during the current study available from the corresponding author on reasonable request.
Dear @nature.com , this was published in 2024. Why do you still allow this? Data should be deposited upon publication. #openscience
A new year brings new opportunities: we are looking to fill a permanent professorship position with a Microbiologist preferably with expertise on archaeal biology, RNA biology or imaging techniques to unravel cell biology in prokaryotes! Please share and/or apply :)! www.nature.com/naturecareer...

'Introducing a lottery before peer review in the research funding application process can boost women’s chance of success by almost a quarter, a new study has found, with its authors saying that the approach can also reduce costs and make applying for funding less labour-intensive.' 1/2
To all team #GDGTs members: Gerard Otiniano et al., including @islatope.bsky.social, have a new paper that describes a new open-source tool to deconvolve and integrate chromatographic GDGT peaks!

We found recurring deep ocean oxygen minimum events in the Pacific Southern Ocean during Marine Isotope Stage 11, that are linked with perturbed Antarctic Bottom Water formation driven by West Antarctic Ice Sheet destabilization. www.nature.com/articles/s41...
Nitrobacter NOB respond to environmental conditions by modulating their nitrite affinity, which highlights the importance of pre-culturing on experimental observations.
