The latest instalment in our journey to create mosquitoes with designer microbiomes!! 🦟🦠🧪
“A cryopreservation method to recover laboratory- and field-derived bacterial communities from mosquito larval habitats”
Great work @szymbiosis & @Mosmicrobes!

We took microbiomes from different 🦟species from the lab/field and transplanted into Ae. aegypti -> they responded similarly when the 🦠🦠were from lab donors -regardless of 🦟species, but far more changes to gene expression when using a field donor -pretty cool I reckon😀

When we swap their microbiomes, what do the mosquitoes actually think about that?? Take a look at our new preprint; congratulations @Shiva_hegde @laura_brettell @SQuek_001 Miguel Saldaña @EtebariK @SassanAsgari @MosMicrobes @mosquitomicrobe biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Huge congrats to all of the new fellows and advisers! Can’t wait to be reunited with @aldoaarellano after his internship @dermbiont this summer. Give your students the space to explore career options, folks. It’ll only make all the science better!

Our latest step towards establishing a field microbiome in the lab. Here we show that cryopreserved microbiomes from mosquito larval habitats can be stored and reconstituted in the lab. The resulting microbiomes are remarkable consistent too👍 Nice work @MosMicrobes & @szymbiosis

The same approach could also be used to cryopreserve microbiota for transplantation into different life stages or host species, à la:

The sky’s the limit…and we’re working hard to continue to optimize these approaches, especially for field-derived microbiota. Stay tuned for more from us and our incredible colleagues @NicholsHollyL Miguel Medina Munoz @EvaHeinz7 @laura_brettell @vectorvish
