This is vital for biomanufacturing, as it helps create purer products more easily and with fewer contamination issues.
In a study published in the IJMS (MDPI), the team from the University of Waterloo (Department of Chemical Engineering and Department of Biology) found that using CRISPR-Cas9 to disrupt the baculovirus gp64 gene can dramatically cut down unwanted virus byproducts.
Happy Independence Day!
May your colonies grow strong, your cultures stay pure, and your reads align perfectly!
🍁Happy Canada Day! 🍁
From coast to coast to coast, here’s to the diversity, kindness, and resilience that make Canada so special. Enjoy the celebrations! 🎉🇨🇦
From tar sands to tundra, Sox Kit outdelivers every kit.
Any sample, anywhere.
For anyone who teaches, studies, or simply loves biology and ecology, The Invisible World of Microbes is a must-read. arboretum.wisc.edu/learn/resour...
I recently discovered a fantastic booklet from UW–Madison Arboretum called The Invisible World of Microbes. Written by Charlotte Francoeur (University of Wisconsin–Madison) with hand-drawn illustrations by Lindsey Leigh, it’s both informative and a joy to leaf through.
From compost to core sediment, conquer any challenging sample—any sample, anywhere.

In a study published in Environmental Microbiome (BioMed Central), the team led by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem found that compost amendments buffer the rhizosphere microbiome against Fusarium oxysporum, suppressing disease and preserving cucumber plant health.
An active eDNA surveillance program project was launched this year under Genome Atlantic’s portfolio, co-led by Graham Gagnon and Megan Fuller of Dalhousie University and James MacKinnon of the Atlantic First Nations Water Authority (AFNWA). Projects like these deserve the love 💖
Genome Canada invests in eDNA surveillance to safeguard health, environmental protection, and Canadian industries.
Genome Canada is planning to launch 12 new projects that will involve non-invasive monitoring of ecosystems, pathogens, antimicrobial resistance, and biodiversity.
"Looking for a fairly large aquatic mammal in coastal/riverine West Africa" should be the new gen version of "Looking for a needle in a haystack." See how researchers at ETH Zürich used a new CRISPR-based eDNA test can detect African manatees without capturing the animals. 👇
A recent Microbiome paper from NASA’s Jet Propulsion Laboratory, in collaboration with Kennedy Space Center, revealed that spacecraft cleanrooms conceal a surprising array of novel, ultra-resilient bacteria.

In a study published on @asm.org, the team led by Nanjing Normal University, in collaboration with the Jiangsu Second Normal University, found that slime mold communities in subtropical managed forests vary by season and closely interact with soil bacteria. buff.ly/UXWz7E5
Microbiome
A study in Microbiome finds new species of bacteria in NASA’s cleanrooms that can survive extreme conditions similar to those found in space. This may help understand how life might survive on other planets, with new breakthroughs in biotechnology, astrobiology. Read here: bit.ly/3ZlMBH1

❗This is such an important thread from @boghuma.bsky.social!
We need new COVID boosters for fall. Here's why:
🗽74% of Americans >18 have at least one comorbidity making them at higher risk for COVID sequelae.

I forgot to post this one yesterday.
My in-house graph of #flu detections (=notifications) and subtyped positives (just a tiny subset of sampled positives-only use as a guide to what's around) in Australia using the excellent publicly available NNDSS data ( nindss.health.gov.au/pbi-dashboard/)

Tiny microbes in ag making BIG waves. ⭐
Dr. Mariangela Hungria received the 2025 World Food Prize for her research in biological nitrogen fixation. Her work has focused on developing microbial inoculants, which played a vital role in Brazil's transformation into a global agricultural leader.
Researchers at the University of Haifa, with the Mediterranean Sea Research Center of Israel, found that the microbiome of the invasive jellyfish Rhopilema nomadica undergoes temporal and tissue-specific changes during bloom (published in @biomedcentral.bsky.social Environmental Microbiome).
Today Aileen’s last PhD thesis paper came out in #environmentalmicrobiome @microbiomej.bsky.social
Working with permafrost can be a challenge, but we managed to get some insights into the biosynthetic capabilities of permafrost microbiomes.
