Check out our paper on intricate nested interactions between viruses and virus satellites of haloarchaea and their nanosized DPANN symbionts. Excellent collaboration with @deemteam.bsky.social, @anagtz.bsky.social and Michail Yakimov

Frozen morning in our camp at Lagunas Bravas (4250 m high).

Some flamingos and other aquatic birds in the 3676 m high Salar de Aguas Calientes, near the volcanos of the Lullaillaco National Park in Chile.

Walking to our sampling point on a vast microbial mat (pink-salmon areas) in Laguna Azufrera, with the fumaroles of the Lastarria volcano visible on the horizon.

(1/2) Preprint alert! In collaboration with @yifanzhou.bsky.social and @mkrupovic.bsky.social we describe host-parasite layers in hypersaline systems of the Danakil Depression. Haloarchaea host nanohaloarchea and both are infected by viruses (12 new families found).

Extremely acidic proteomes and metabolic flexibility in bacteria and highly diversified archaea thriving in geothermal chaotropic brines - Nature Ecology & Evolution Metagenome analysis of microbial communities from the Danakil Depression shows that haloarchaea and Nanohaloarchaeota dominate these life-limiting salt-saturated conditions and that these archaea have...

Did you miss our latest work on hypersaline and chaotropic ecosystems in the Danakil depression, where microbial communities harbour up to 99% of archaea? Go check what life looks like in these unique places: www.nature.com/articles/s41... @deemteam.bsky.social
