New #mLife review discussed electroautotrophy—how microbes fix CO₂ using electrons from rocks or electrodes—and its implications for life in extreme & extraterrestrial environments. 🔗 doi.org/10.1002/mlf2.7…
If you’re curious about what I’ve been working on over the last few months, and what we’re building at various universities in the Chugoku-Shikoku region of Japan, tune on 12/5/25 @ 4PM JST, where I’ll introduce the @HIRAKUGlobal program, and explain how you can get involved!
Plus Alpha Series Vol.39 [December 5th 16:00-17:00 JST] We welcome Professor Tony Z. Jia, HIRAKU-Global Program Manager, to introduce HIRAKU-Global, as well as its researcher development strategy and initiatives promoting "internationality" Register here👇 globaleysurvey.ey.com/jfe/form/SV_di…
@KeithCowing Thank you for sharing this paper on astrobiology.com/2025/10/curren…
Our new review and perspective article: Current understanding of electroautotrophy and its relevance in astrobiology-related research doi.org/10.1002/mlf2.7…
The first isolate of Asgard archaea, MK-D1, now has an official name: Promethearchaeum syntrophicum. The new archaeal kingdom, Promethearchaeati, is also approved! Huge thanks to @masarunobu and JCM members (@skato_jcm) for their incredible efforts. microbiologyresearch.org/content/journa…
Our lab is so nice in many ways! Check out the opportunity below!
The Global Microbial Ecology group at Carnegie Science (i.e. Zakem group) is hiring a postdoc! Location: Pasadena, CA (Caltech campus). Spread the word! jobs.carnegiescience.edu/jobs/postdocto…
I am out of date. why now Twitter is called X ?
@electromicRowe @Hypothesisfund Congratulations
@0_minyaaa I did that too 🤪😎so delightful to know that I am not alone
Ok, this is getting more real, so: if you are/know a bioinformatician interested in metagenomics, phage:host interaction, and/or tool development, and maybe tempted by a postdoc with us starting ~ Fall 2023, please DM or email ! Note: work related to human microbiome (for once) !
We are looking for postdoc researchers to study diverse aspects of phage-host interactions. If you are interested in any of these 👇🏼studies, please send me a dm or email me.
A battle between a pathogen and host as the cover story of new #mLife issue: #Salmonella employs a T3SS effector to attack host cells, but the hosts defend utilizing a ubiquitin E3 ligase that degrades the virulence effector. @WileyEcolEvol @wileymicrobio doi.org/10.1002/mlf2.1…
New #mLife article: a perspective article that summarizes the expanding archaeal diversity and introduces the influence of Asgard lineages on understanding the Tree of Life and eukaryogenesis. @wileymicrobio @wileyinresearch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
#mLife article: A tribute to Carl Woese who pioneered the use of genetic markers to study evolution. His proposals of 3 domains of life, and rooting between Bac, and Arch & Euk are still being discussed even to this date. @wileymicrobio @wileyinresearch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…
New #mLife article: An efficient genome editing tool and a reporter gene system are developed for Thermus thermophilus HB27, making this thermophilc strain an attractive chasis for bioindustry and synthetic biology. @wileymicrobio @wileyinresearch onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10…

A potential crossover : methane oxidation X iodate reduction
New #mLife article: Genome of a novel anaerobic methanotroph, Candidatus Methylomirabilis iodofontis, assembled from cavern biofilm metagenomes, suggests its capacity for methane oxidation, oxygenic denitrification and iodate reduction. @wileymicrobio onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ml…
@EmilRuff I always have this question at the back of my mind
Updated and expanded! Download our curated list of 375 postdoctoral fellowships: research.jhu.edu/rdt/funding-op… The database lists the dollar amount, eligibility criteria (such as citizenship), deadline, and description for each fellowship. Good luck.
