I am pleased to announce that Lise's latest paper is now availeble in the final form in FEMS Letters https://lnkd.in/dfWhg4sh. Together with Ida Nynne Laforce, Judith C M Wolkers-Rooijackers, Martin Steen Mortensen, and Eddy J Smid we describe the use of high mw proteins in minimal medium for the analysis of metabolism of proteolytic strains of Lactococcus.

The Preprint of our in-review manuscript, which examines the functional features of the Sarracenia microbiome and the host influence. An exploration of the intricate microbiome composition within a confined phyllosphere microcosm, such as the leaves of pitcher plants. https://lnkd.in/ewe3wGq5

Excited to share our latest research findings on maize seed-borne microbiomes! 🌽 In this work, I could collaborate with Beatriz Barcelos from Professor Fabio Olivares's lab and Francisnei Pedrosa-Silva from my lab (Thiago Venancio's lab)! we compared the seed-borne microbiome of a commercial hybrid variety and a landrace maize variety. We found out that the seed-borne bacterial community of the commercial variety was uniform and homogeneous, while the landrace variety's microbiome showed greater diversity. Although devoid of a functional nitrogen fixation apparatus, both microbiomes exhibited genes linked to phytohormone production and inorganic phosphate solubilization, with the landrace variety notably excelling in these aspects. We also recovered 18 MAGs, with 4 belonging to potential new species.

Presenting my poster at #icpp2023. It is about Inheritance of seed microbiome in European ash.

I’m thrilled to share a new publication from our postharvest lab at Cornell in collaboration with colleagues from different labs and institutions. The study investigated the impact of preharvest sprays of aminoethoxyvinylglycine (AVG) on the microbiome of ‘NY1’ (Snapdragon®) apples during harvest and storage. AVG affected fungal communities, while harvest time and storage influenced both bacterial and fungal variation. Postharvest fungal microbiomes responded to fruit maturation, with AVG-treated apples resembling early harvested ones. Bacterial shifts during storage were linked to changes in biofilm formation pathways, potentially affecting fungal pathogen colonization. These findings provide insight into the connection between the fruit microbiome, quality, and biocontrol. https://lnkd.in/eMScRKQy

Great article about our recent work on discovering >100 novel milk oligosaccharides in exotic mammals (many more advances & insights in milk research are discussed as well, well worth a read!) :-)
