Back in 1962 microscopy was used to pen a hypothesis about eukaryote-microbe relationships. ~65 years later we have coupled the latest advancements in long read MetaG, MetaP and EUK SAGs to help explain what this means for wider rumen microbiome function www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Doing my favorite Epidinium impersonation with @cmrqut.bsky.social
A fantastic talk from CMR's Prof Phil Pope (@microbesrule.bsky.social) at today’s QUT School of Biomedical Sciences seminar series. Phil shared how his team uses meta-omic technologies to interrogate the complex microbial communities that are integral to animal health, nutrition and gut function.
