Congratulations to our undergraduate intern Joshua Santos for winning 1st Place at the #BESC_Symposium Poster Session #TAMU #PLPM 🎉

Josh presented an innovative #hyphal-baiting_method to study #hyphosphere-bacteria associated with #FOV4.

Mentors: Dr. Gayan Abeysinghe & Dr. Sanjay Antony-Babu.

Great Mini Symposium at Texas A&M PLPM with delegates from National Taiwan University and Chung-Hsing University. From the #AntonyBabu_Lab, Dr. Esaú Camarillo presented machine-learning guided synthetic microbial communities for pollutant degradation.

New Publication Alert:
We are back with one more publication in our Fusarium pathobiome series, in #Frontiers_in_Microbiology.
We demonstrate the genetic potential and the growth effect of a stable core microbiome of Fusarium wilt.
Thanks to all the collaborators.
