Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 @NatureMicrobiol
We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity.

I'm excited to share that I'll lead a new Center of Excellence for Metaproteomics, a joint venture between the University of Vienna and Bruker. This initiative will leverage cutting-edge mass spectrometry and AI to unravel the mysteries of the microbiome.

Fun, and some "lampenfieber" was had our first green screen video shoot. @Lou_tsia the recorded material, were we explain the global C and N cycles, will become part of the @univienna MOOC on Environmental Emergencies.
Very exciting to be part of it!

Important finding by @KerrinSteensen that non-tailed and filamentous prophages dominate over tailed prophages in Vibrio when using unbiased predictions. Lots of interesting biology uncovered as well.

Danke @FWF_at für das tolle Video!
Die Umweltmikrobiologin Barbara Bayer will herausfinden, wie die #Überdüngung von Seen und Meeren den natürlichen #Methankreislauf beeinflusst und welche Prozesse genau dahinterstehen. 🌊🦠

A new substrate for #nitrification by #comammox microbes: #Guanidine
So glad to see this out in @Nature today – great collaborative effort from our @FWF Cluster of Excellence, @univienna, team @aalborg_uni, and @UFZ_de

Check out our new preprint!
Thanks to magical skills of @KatarinaKajan we were able to go deep into metabolic niches developed along depth in an anchialine cave!

🚀 Identifying new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea has been a fun, exciting, at times overwhelming (so many protein structures) but fulfilling ride so far with @Ettema_lab at @MIB_WUR
5 Jul 2024
Our latest: Using de novo protein structure prediction and sensitive sequence searches we found many new eukaryotic signature proteins in Asgard archaea, suggesting the archaeal ancestor of eukaryotes was more complex than previously assumed. @koestlste biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Characterisation of isolated nitrite oxidiser Ca. Nitrobacter laanbroekii, originally enriched >35 years ago by Wietse de Boer during his PhD & named in honour of Riks Laanbroek. It also makes acidophilic Nitrosotalea behave a bit more like regular AOA! biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…
