I need to know immediately where this is from, for, eh, reasons 😶

Today I learned that benthic ctenophores is a thing! Made me miss working with Cassiopea 🥲

I will be hiring a PhD student and a postdoc for my ANR-funded project CECIL soon, starting in January 2026. If you have experience in (marine) microbiology and microbial OMICS, and are keen to understand how sea anemone microbiomes work, please reach out! 🧫 🧬

(p.s. we got tapas!)

Deep-sea life is still recovering from mining activity 40 years ago The site of a deep-sea mining test in 1979 had lower levels of biodiversity when researchers revisited it in 2023 compared with undisturbed areas nearby

Part of the Pacific Ocean seabed was mined in 1979. 44 years later, marine life in the area has still not fully recovered www.newscientist.com/article/2469...

The Cassiosomes of Cassiopea- stinging cell structures fueled by algal symbionts.

Take a deep dive into the world of cassiosomes and their photosymbionts with @gaelletoullec.bsky.social’s first PhD paper. These autonomous cell structures of rhizostome jellyfish could be exciting model systems to study cnidarian symbioses! 🧫🪸🔬 doi.org/10.1128/msph... @cpogoreutz.bsky.social

Optical coherence tomography 3D scan of a juvenile Cassiopea medusa

Ever wondered what function the white granules in Cassiopea might have? In our latest work we use OCT to investigate the micromorphology and optical properties of Cassiopea tissue, and show that white granules enhance photosynthesis of nearby symbionts.
