Curious about #protists and #anaerobic metabolism? 🦠🔬Well, it's out!
It is such a privilege to have taken part of this amazing work by Julie @protistsforthewin.bsky.social and Karla at @cstairs.bsky.social lab during my MSc. Thank you!😄

Now completely published :)
Really proud of this paper led with Karla at @cstairs.bsky.social lab.

Anaerobic breviate protist survival in microcosms depends on microbiome metabolic function

Abstract. Anoxic and hypoxic environments serve as habitats for diverse microorganisms, including unicellular eukaryotes (protists) and prokaryotes. To thr

I wrote a blogpost about the value of looking at your study organisms 12 years ago!

To observe or to extract? Different methods for studying soil organisms

Interest in characterising soil communities is booming, fuelled by the growing recognition that soil biota govern processes of carbon (C) and nitrogen (N) cycling – processes that underpin the deli…

Can fungi be used to repair a bridge? At Lund University curiosity got researchers thinking...

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete. Now researchers at Lund University are investigating an innovative alternative solution: using fungi to mend concrete.

How fungi research at Lund University could revolutionise infrastructure repair

Much of the world's infrastructure is made of concrete, which presents a challenge when it cracks and needs repair. Traditional repair methods involve cutting away a large amount of material.

We observed that the sole connectivity of a microhabitat can determine the function (substrate degradation) of a soil community. How? (1/5)👇
