At @Cop30noBrasil? Be sure to come by the #OceanPavilion this Wednesday (19 Nov) at 1:30 pm for a panel exploring the role of microbes in our climate! A great chance to hear from @MicrobialPlanet director & WHOI sr. scientist @LizKuj
📣 Microbes 🦠 are a key player & stakeholder in what happens next for our planet 🌎. C-CoMP will host a panel this week at #COP30 in the #OceanPavilion to discuss ideas for including the invisible microbial majority in a sustainable future: ccomp-stc.org/microbes-at-co… @WHOI

❓How do #marinebacteria navigate and compete for #phytoplankton-derived organic matter hotspots — and what happens when their microbial neighbors 🦠tag along❓ Check out this exciting PriME collaborative work, just published in @ISMEJournal! 😃👏👇 academic.oup.com/ismej/advan…

WHOI's Center for Chemical Currencies of a Microbial Planet is working to uncover how ocean microbes keep our planet in balance. Funded by @NSF, @MicrobialPlanet studies the tiny organisms that move carbon, oxygen, and nutrients through the ocean. go.whoi.edu/CCOMP

I'm very happy to report that @mschecht_bio's PhD work is now online as a pre-print: "Ribosomal protein phylogeography offers quantitative insights into the efficacy of genome-resolved surveys of microbial communities" biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… Aaand here's a little 🧵 about it.

Very excited to share final version of our paper! What forces shape evolution of cross-feeding among planktonic ocean microbes, and how does it in turn drive self-organization of biogeochemical cycles? These are the questions we explore here: science.org/doi/full/10.1126…

I'm very happy that these just appeared in bioRxiv: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (reports 71 new SAR11 isolates, proposes names for 24 SAR11 genera). biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/… (investigates the metabolic determinants of habitat specificity in SAR11). Wishing you all a great 2025 😇

#HumansofWHOI - Paloma Lopez - Research Associate I always knew that I wanted to do something that didn't just have an obvious beauty. I wanted to study something big enough that would allow me to strive for a better world more directly. 📲 Read more: go.whoi.edu/humans-of-whoi

The @MicrobialPlanet team compared carbohydrate-active enzyme repertoires of Alteromonas strains to estimate their use of ocean carbohydrates. Diverse enzyme combinations across species highlight niche partitioning patterns that affect the ocean cycle. ow.ly/uuUS50TG4MV

I am very happy to report that the review @BanfieldJill and I wrote on Modern Microbiology just appeared in @CellPressNews: cell.com/cell/abstract/S0092… Our celebration of microbiology also made it to the cover of this issue and we hope you will find yourself in it, too.
