1/3 Bittersweet news from me: While on pregnancy-related leave, I was still working on revisions for a manuscript we had submitted to @nature.com Nature Communications. I was really hoping all that work would pay off…

Organosulfur cycling in the multi-partner symbiosis between lucinid bivalves, sulphur-oxidizing symbionts, and Endozoicomonas
Organosulfur compounds play an important role in chemotaxis, stress protection, and nutrition in many marine symbioses. Lucinidae, an ancient and species-rich family of marine bivalves, host chemosynt...

It’s exciting to see converging evidence across systems! 😀 Alongside the new work on gutless worms, our study shows that organosulfur cycling is also essential in lucinid holobionts. Lucinid host provides DMSP to its symbionts, sulphur-oxidising Thiodiazotropha and, a new member, Endozoicomonas.

Preprint alert 🔔 Organosulfur compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in chemosynthetic symbiosis. Happy to see this cool collaboration with @organosulfur.bsky.social and others out 🥳

New preprint! We explore how gutless marine worms and their bacterial symbionts use organosulfur compounds like DMSP and DMS - key molecules in marine sulfur cycling. Our results show that these compounds support carbon and energy metabolism in the Olavius algarvensis symbiosis.

🐚 Fresh from Elba! PhD student Kristina brought back lucinid clams for our research on symbiosis & sulfur cycling. They’ll also support hands-on teaching in marine biology. 🌊🔬 #MarineBiology #LucinidClams #FromFieldToLab #ElbaIsland #ScienceEducation

We were thrilled to welcome @cuwelte.bsky.social as our second keynote speaker at the Euro C1 Conference. Her talk “Challenging Methanotrophy: Carbon Monoxide Metabolism in Anaerobic Methanotrophic Archaea” shed light on surprising new aspects of archaeal carbon cycling. #EuroC1 #MPI #Keynote

Thrilled to announce that Matthias Hülsmann's new perspective is now out in @naturemicrobiol.bsky.social! This exciting work is shaping how our group thinks about collective microbiome metabolism. Check it out! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

A framework for understanding collective microbiome metabolism - Nature Microbiology
This Perspective explores why microbiome members perform partial metabolism of substrates and suggests that proteome efficiency is a driver of collective microbiome metabolism.
