Our last group photo at #Goldschmidt2023 Goldschmidt had a lot to offer! – at Lyon, France

Toosin presented “Biomacromolecules in Arctica islandica shells: molecular signatures of a bivalved Methuselah at micron and submicron scale” at #Goldschmidt2023 – at Lyon, France

@TaruVerma7 presented remotely “ Sedimentary DNA can influence evolution: Establishing mineral facilitated horizontal gene transfer as a route to increased bacterial fitness” at #Goldschmidt2023 – at Lyon, France

Sandlab group photo with @saghar_hendiani poster at #Goldschmidt2023 – at Caluire-et-Cuire, France

Starting the afternoon with the keynote talk by @KarinaKSand: “A geochemical perspective on DNA preservation in sediments: implications for ecological inference and bacterial evolution” at #Goldschmidt2023

@saghar_hendiani presented her poster titled “Importance of bacteria-mineral associations for biofilm development and gene transfer efficiency” at #Goldschmidt2023 – at Lyon, France

@GeoBioLab principles ❤️🧡💛💚💙💜 – at Copenhagen, Denmark

@KarinaKSand presented her and Liselotte’s ideas for mineral facilitated propagation of antibiotics resistance genes: "Distribution of antibiotic resistance genes in the environment: The role of micro-environments and interfacial geochemistry for ARg-transfer dynamics"

@TaruVerma7 gave and oral presentations about the use of Raman for profiling ARg: “Profiling antibiotic resistance in Escherichia coli strains displaying differential antibiotic susceptibilities using Raman spectroscopy”

@saghar_hendiani presented a poster on her work on biofilms on: “Biofilm formation gene expression of Pseudomonas aeruginosa downregulates in response to sublethal antimicrobial photodynamic inactivation”

What a treat to be updated on current knowledge on #biofilm diagnostics, evolution, social interactions, adhesion and molecular mechanisms. Thanks to the organizers for a great meeting. we left with a lot of food for thoughts! #Danishbiofilmworkshop
