Marine #sponges are generally considered biosynthetic "hotspots" (e.g. Theonella) - but does this always hold true? In our newest study led by @stephenjackson.bsky.social we are looking at Inflatella pellicula's biosynthetic capacity - and our results are surprising doi.org/10.1099/mgen...

New insights into the microbiome of the deep-sea sponge Inflatella pellicula and the secondary metabolic potential of metagenome-assembled genomes and the wider microbiome
Marine sponges are found in all of the world’s oceans, from the surface waters to the deepest abyssal zones. The marine sponge holobiont is a rich source of microbial and chemical diversity. Up to 63 ...

Very proud that this article is finally out. It details the culmination of 3 years of hard work from the @microbiologysociety.org Members Panel. This work can sometimes go under the radar, but big thanks to Anjam for leading on this, allowing us to share our successes and hopes for the future.
A screenshot of a journal article in the "Microbiology" Journal by the Microbiology Society (UK). the title reads "Building an inclusive culture at scientific meetings: foundations for future progress". The authors are listed below: Kevin Maringer, Edward Cunningham-Oakes, Bruno Francesco Rodrigues de Oliveira, Aisha Baba-Dikwa, Arindam Mitra, Black Perez-Sepulveda, Callie R.
