Great job to Rina Estera-Molina & her @Firestone_Lab team for showcasing our 13CO2 labeling facility in a high level visit! We were honored to have @DrChavonda from the @USDA stop by to see how we track carbon from plant to microbes to minerals.
@Livermore_Lab @doescience
We were honored to give @USDA Under Secretary @DrChavonda Jacobs-Young a peek at UC Berkeley research during a tour of the Oxford Facility's greenhouse and field space last week. Read more about the research and her visit: nature.berkeley.edu/news/202…

ALT View of the soil mycorrhizal community in a hypothetical forest dominated by oak species associated with different types of mycorrhizal fungi that form separate underground networks (MN) that may possibly be used to transport amino acids, carbohydrates, fatty acids, signaling microRNAs or peptides and hormones.

Our manuscript is out: 'The path from root input to mineral-associated soil carbon is dictated by habitat-specific microbial traits and soil moisture.' We show that the microbial traits associated with soil C are not universal, but vary with soil habitat.

Do soil #viruses drive #GHG emissions? In dry systems, soil microbes start to multiply rapidly after the first rain (“wet-up”). A massive die-off happens too, releasing a huge burst of #CO2.

In our new 'high-throughput' SIP-metaG paper, @nuccio, @AKakouridis @rachelhestrin et al. targeted the tiny habitat surrounding AM hyphae. They IDed 13C fixed by the host plant, moved by hyphae and taken up by a complex micro food web of bacteria and AOA.

super interesting story here....you know the 'Birch Effect' right? what if it were all because of phage?

Isotope-enrichment reveals active viruses follow microbial host dynamics during rewetting of a California grassland soil biorxiv.org/cgi/content/shor… #biorxiv_micrbio
We’ve been studying the phenomenon of wet-up in soil for decades and finally @AlexaMNicolas has illuminated what is happening at the viral level. #soil biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

In california seasonally dry soils release a disproportionate amount of carbon into the atmosphere after the first rainfall. Read about how @AlexaMNicolas investigates the role of viruses in this phenomenon here: biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Super excited to share my paper – the big project of my PhD – that looks at what happens to viruses during the magical moment in soil following the first rainfall after a long dry season. This was a big project w @SieraVirus @BanfieldLab @Firestone_Lab @Jeffinerca @UCBTagaLab 🧵

behold! a tremendous piece of work from @AlexaMNicolas et al describing the strange + fascinating world of soil viruses, and a masterclass in extracting (and visualizing) trends from large, complex, and incredibly heterogenous sequencing data 🧬
