Nice photo from #NIME2025 with the acknowledgement slide of Marijan Vidic from our group 🤗
Yesterday the @biosb.bsky.social and Netherlands Integrative Microbial Ecology initiative organised a symposium on #MicrobialEcology. We hosted 80+ researchers, with 10 talks and 10 posters at @utrechtuniversity.bsky.social. A beautiful chance to hear more about exciting research across the country!

Bram is showing us simulations on toxin/resistance diversity => HGT is more than just gaining genes, which needs to be incorporated into computational models

aiming to recapitulate experiments

Aileen is now working on characterizing diversity of beetle derived Fusarium isolates and their genome architectures - learning about evolution of host-symbiont co-evolution and gene losses, BGC diversity

Fusarium genome is reduced (below 50Mb) compared with non host associate Fusarium

In spite of reduced genomes, still BGCs are present - some of the compounds might contribute to anti-predation protection of host
