Sodalis bacteria use a network of nanotubes aka tubenets to reach beyond the boundary of their own cells and aqcuire nutrients within the competitive environment of host cells. It was a pleasure working with you and your team, seeing the project evolve over the years! Thanks for having us on board!
Absolutely, I'll send it tomorrow once I'm back in the office!
A long, long time ago, we started this review project during the first Coron lockdown, but if finally made it out into the world - Origin and function of beneficial bacterial symbioses in insects! @naturerevmicro.bsky.social

We offer a PhD project within our International Max Planck Research School "Chemical Communication in Ecological Systems" on "Metabolic exchanges, regulation and equilibrium of an ancient insect symbiosis" (Project 5). Please share, inform & apply here: www.ice.mpg.de/129183/imprs
No worries, I was not exactly fast in writing it either. Thanks for hosting me with news on the beewolves, their symbionts and chemistry!
Me as well please!
Did you have no chance to attend a symbiosis conference this year in Europe or are you already looking forward for the next one? Then join us in Rothenburg o.d. Tauber this Oktober. We cover a wide spectrum, parasitism-mutualism, plants, animals, MOs, terrestrial & marine... x.com/SymbioseCont...
I am recruiting a PhD student to work on microbial communities in Arctic ecosystems. This is a great opportunity for someone interested in combining field, lab, and computational approaches. If you are interested, message me for more information.
