A new study by @sunnyjoydupuis.bsky.social and colleagues presents a “mono-mix” proteomics control strategy that enables balanced detection of algal and bacterial proteins in mixed cultures, improving accurate quantification of symbiotic responses. plos.io/4qzH3nW

Mono-mix strategy enables comparative proteomics of a cross-kingdom microbial symbiosis
Cross-kingdom microbial symbioses, such as those between algae and bacteria, are key players in biogeochemical cycles. The molecular changes during initiation and establishment of symbiosis are of…

Our latest systems biology study out now @pnas.org! See how acclimation to dim days impacts fitness in bright days and mine data collected from synchronized cultures to uncover how algae repair severe photodamage & acclimate anew in just 48 h 🌱🌞 @merchant-lab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1073/pnas...

Chlamy never ceases to surprise me! Our new preprint tracks dim-day acclimated Chlamy populations as they face sudden bright days. See how the alga bounces back from severe photodamage and a weird empty stroma phenotype to divide successfully by nightfall. doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Light on its feet: Acclimation to high and low diurnal light is flexible in Chlamydomonas reinhardtii
Chlamydomonas acclimates to repeated low (LL) or high light (HL) days by changing the abundance of photosynthetic complexes and the ultrastructure of its thylakoid membranes. These phenotypes persist ...

New preprint! Check out how we are approaching dual-proteomics of two very different symbiotic microbes at once, no fancy tools necessary. @merchant-lab.bsky.social doi.org/10.1101/2025...

Check out this piece I wrote with @qb3.bsky.social’s awesome science communication team *highlighting* (pun intended) recent work in @theplantcell.bsky.social by Valle Ojeda and yours truly! 🌱🦠🔬

Our large-scale biology article is out in @theplantcell.bsky.social! Dig into these rich datasets to see how light-induced stress not only impacts what algae do during the day, but also how it shapes their physiology and gene expression at night. doi.org/10.1093/plce...
