Who shapes the lives of insects? Bacteria, of course! If you want to know more about how Sodalis nezarae and others do it, check out my latest #FEMSmicroBlog fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblo... @cuwelte.bsky.social @robertsjansen.bsky.social @scoolen.bsky.social @amanzanom.bsky.social

Submitted. Accepted. Published! My last and final PhD paper has been published in @femsmicro.bsky.social. We described egg microbiome of Nezara viridula and characterized novel symbiotic Sodalis nezarae species 👇
