Important and abundant uncharacterised Chloroflexi populations in annamox, AS and reactors, and a new favourite in our lab @PerHNielsen? "Ca. Villigracilis nielsenii" 😀

Happy to share our new paper just published in BMC microbiology! Many thanks to all co-authors @ClaudiaEtchebe1 @leri2021 @AngelaCabezas11 @PiaOyarzua @mesuarezojeda and to the reviewers for their very constructive feedback!

Spoiler alerts: Activated sludge communities don't like change, and mass-immigration likely has an important effect on the outcome of transplantation!

For the sediments it proved more complex due to high diversity, and especially for the marine sample there was high-strain complexity of cable bacteria, but Mantas was still able to obtain 2 HQ genomes (1 in 1 contig) by subsampling, re-assembly, and re-binning. Not easy.. 6/10

Genome recovery is highly dependent on species abundance and strain complexity. For the enrichment sample, we recovered 50 (!!!) cicular metagenome-assembled genomes (cMAGs), including the Ca. Electronema aureum as expected. Easy peasy.. 5/10

Genomes in hand, Francesca did metabolic reconstruction. First, she looked if the prev incomplete genomes had missed genes, that explained the long-distance electron transfer. We didn't find the smoking gun, but with complete genomes, we are now certain that it hides within! 8/10

In a great collaboration with @CEMAarhus, we have used high-throughput @nanopore metagenomics to recover the first closed genomes of the enigmatic "Cable bacteria"! A thread, 1/10 biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Autumn has just started in Denmark and we people are slowly putting on our sweaters again, but how do #microbes feel about these changes and do they also have a favourite season?
You can read all about it at poster 241 or find Mariam for a talk

If you go to poster 188, you will find out how you can use machine learning to predict the dynamics in a microbial community!
Are you more interested in @midasguide or #ampvis in R? No problem! Kasper is also ready to discuss that!
11 Sep 2022
Are you at IWA cph? Come have a chat about predicting microbial community dynamics using machine learning at poster 188. I'm also very involved in the MiDAS taxonomic databases and developer of the ampvis2 R pkg for community exploration #WorldWaterCongress #iwa #midasfieldguide

If you are interested in #foaming or #nutrientremoval in #wastewater, you can have a look at @zivilekon poster number 130.
You will also see her beautiful FISH images of Chloroflexota! 🐟

PHN lab is bringing a focus on #microbes in #wastewater to IWA cph!
Stop by the @midasguide stand or find us at one of our talks or posters.
See you around!

Super proud of @lamurias who have realized our vague idea of metagenome binning should be a "graph" problem. Looking forward to integrating new features and scalability to very (!) large long-read metagenome datasets. @VILLUMscience

my first paper as part of the @dkw_aau group has been published!! doi.org/10.1093/bioinformati… also my first paper in metagenomics. It has been quite a journey in this new (to me) field. big thanks to my co-authors @HoseKatja @MadsAlbertsen85 @tdyhren and Mantas!

You hear a lot about fecal transplantations these days, but what happens when you disturb a full scale wastewater treatment plant with a massive activated sludge transplantation?
Find @GiuliaDottorini at poster 391 to talk about it!

How does the sewages affect the diversity of the activated sludge in wastewater treatment plants?
Rodrigo has some very interesting theories on that!
Catch his poster pitch today at 15.18 in auditorium B or find him at his poster 143.
