To optimize biofuel yields and better-understand soil processes, @TheOlufem1 of @UMESSANS will examine how switchgrass root compounds and soil microbes interact under different mowing schedules. @GCcontent

New paper out in @TrendsPlantSci led by @C_Tharp_ Here, we discuss common misconceptions and limitations of the pervasive use of the 'cry for help' hypothesis in plant-microbe interactions. @PSUPlantScience @PSUmBiome @huckinstitutes @agsciences doi.org/10.1016/j.tplants.20…

Our new paper is out!

We explore how ecological processes shape microbial community reassembly after coalescence 🔗 academic.oup.com/ismej/artic…… #MicrobialEcology #CommunityCoalescence #ISMEJournal @huckinstitutes @PSUmBiome @ISME_microbes
We use an "Epson Perfection V850 Pro Photo Scanner". We built an acrylic box to hold the roots in water and its great.

I'm excited to share this collaborative work led by @Jimenez_ADJ! Here, we report a strategy to artificially select plastic-transforming microbes and identify novel taxa and enzymes using mangrove soils.

“Under projected climate change scenarios, the abundance of plant-beneficial bacteria is expected to decrease…Forward-thinking approaches, like microbiome breeding, offer biotechnological opportunities” New from our own @GCcontent
@MAnthony02 We use these moisture probes in our greenhouse experiments. It looks like they offer a sensor that does moisture, EC, and temp as well.

It was great to meet you and learn a bit about the microbiome of the fascinating Hawaiian bobtail squid! Thanks again for making the trip to State College!

🎉 Member features are back!
This week, we'd like to highlight @emily_vansyoc, a postdoctoral researcher in @Symbionticism's lab.
🍄Emily is illuminating the role of human gut fungi! 🍄
