Glad to see this new opinion paper published. @alejandrorgijon.bsky.social and I write about the implications of the work from @delafuentelab.bsky.social on the use of deep-learning models to discover new antimicrobials in the archaeal proteome: from the ecology to the human health.

I am really happy to share that I have been awarded by the Spanish national network “Conexión Microbioma” to support a new collaboration between our lab (@gecko1990.bsky.social) with @josepramoneda.bsky.social at the CEAB-CSIC (@ceabcsic.bsky.social).

Coming back from the XIX REDEX celebrated in Huelva! It was a great time to present the research that we do in the lab from resistome in wastewater to natural microbial communities. We could also talk with colleagues and friends about future projects and even visit Rio Tinto!

I am glad to share our newest preprint "A 16S rRNA dataset of Las Tablas de Daimiel National Park" preprints.arphahub.com/articles.php... via @preprints.arphahub.com with @gecko1990.bsky.social, @themlab.bsky.social, @vicloma1.bsky.social and Salvador Sánchez-Carrillo.

Last week the lab participated at @same18-bcn.bsky.social, the Symposium of Aquatic Microbial Ecology in Barcelona. It was a great week full of scientific exchange! We presented our last results in different topics from anaerobic oxidation of methane to the resistome of aquatic habitats🦠🔬🌊

Glad to share my research at the @same18-bcn.bsky.social

Yesterday we participated in the #europeanresearchersnight at the @mncn-csic.bsky.social Children learnt about microbial diversity and how to use antibiotics, and we learnt about how big their curiosity is. A win-win situation 🦠🔬

Happy to see this published showing the power of cultivation and lab work to shed light on key microorganisms for the methane cycle!

Deep learning reveals antibiotics in the archaeal proteome - Nature Microbiology Use of artificial intelligence to mine proteomes of archaea led to the discovery of archaeasins, antimicrobials that kill drug-resistant bacteria in laboratory and animal models, offering a promising source of future antibiotics.

Deep-mining the archaeal proteome for antibiotics - Nature Microbiology A deep-learning algorithm unravels a collection of archaeasins, peptides from the archaeal proteome with potential antimicrobial activity and implications for the development of next-generation antibiotics

Excited to highlight our News & Views on the article by Torres et al. from @delafuentelab.bsky.social team 🚀 Archaea could help to discover new antibiotics!

New post talking about archaeal-bacterial syntrophy, methane and two inspiring scientists who chose cooperation over rivalry🦠🙌

Identification of key steps in the evolution of anaerobic methanotrophy in Candidatus Methanovorans (ANME-3) archaea Modification of core carbon and energy metabolism aided a recent evolution of anaerobic methanotrophy in archaea.

Nitrogen cycling during an Arctic bloom: from chemolithotrophy to nitrogen assimilation | mBio The Arctic is one of the environments most affected by anthropogenic climate change. It is expected that the rise in temperature and change in ice cover will impact the marine microbial communities an...

We observed how nitrification is a prevalent metabolism in winter dominated by Nitrososphaeria and nitrite oxidizing bacteria. In summer different heterotrophic bacteria express a variety of machineries to use different nitrogen sources. Check here the paper!
journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

New paper alert! 🚨Finally, we publish the research on the nitrogen cycle of a unique Arctic dataset. We have over 13 metagenomes and 7 metatranscriptomes from March until July 2014 from the Dease Strait in the Canadian Arctic. They show how the microbial community changes from winter to summer.

El 20 de mayo estaré por La Botillería hablando de arqueas =)
