Congratulations to all authors, including our PriME fellows 🤗
Congratulations to all authors, including our PriME fellows 🤗
❓How do microbes that can’t make their own vitamins survive in the ocean? 🌊🦠 In this new paper, @RachelGregorPhD and fellow PriME members uncover the role of B vitamin auxotrophies in microbial communities. 👇Check it out 😀 academic.oup.com/ismej/advance-…
The degradation of complex macromolecules in the ocean is only possible when microbes work together. An emergent division of labor controls a key process in the carbon cycle. Latest preprint with the Andi Sichert and the Sauer lab. 🔗 tinyurl.com/n49kv89w
❓What if microbes share not just small metabolites, but also complex molecules that shape community assembly? 🦠 @sammy_pontrelli and co-authors explored this question in a new collaborative PriME study 😃 Learn more about it 👇 journals.plos.org/plosbiology/ar…
PriME Dr. #5 in 2025 is Gabriel from the @oxcordero lab! He successfully defended his thesis "Shaping Function Through Space: The Role of Spatial Organization in Microbial Communities" 🧑🎓🥳 Thank you Gabriel for your collaborative spirit and contribution to our community 🦠🌊🤗
The Simons Foundation’s Life Sciences division is now accepting applications for its Simons Collaborations in Ecology and Evolution awards. Deadline is 10/16: simonsfoundation.org/2025/08/04/sim… #science #ecology #evolution
Congratulations to all from the PriME network 😀👏
Congratulations to all from the PriME network 😀👏
🎉Excited to welcome @melaniestaeubli @NaomiMarcil in our network! As a microbial ecologist with a flair for quantitative modeling, she studies how phycosphere interactions shape phytoplankton dynamics and impact marine carbon cycling. Great to have you on board, Melanie! 🌊🔬
🚨 Looking to mentor a postdoc applicant for the 2026 Walder Foundation Biota Fellowship! Project: microbes, nutrients in the MS River. 💵 $70k–$73.5k/yr 🔬 Aquatic micro, biogeochem, metagenomics? Let’s talk! Info here: biotaawards.org/2026-applicati… #MicrobialEcology #BiotaFellowship
Funded postdoc + PhD opportunities in marine microbial ecology! Please share with folks that might be interested. Start date is flexible (fall 2025 to summer 2026) More about the lab + applying (Postdoc rolling, PhD apps due Oct/Jan): sites.google.com/uncc.edu/micro…
We welcome our new team member @NittayMeroz who recently joined us as a PostDoc 😃. He’ll be investigating how catabolic cascades emerge from species’ proteomic strategies — and how these shape community responses to environmental changes 🌍 Nice to have you aboard, Nittay! 🙌
🎓Congrats to Margot @MargotBligh @HehemannJan lab on successfully defending her PhD “Environmental and structural drivers of algal glycan persistence in the ocean” 🥳 Thanks for your great contribution to PriME — we’re happy you’ll be staying with us a little longer! 😃
