Bacterial symbionts enjoy their seasonal produce! Our new work shows how chemosynthetic symbionts adjust their energy sources during seasonal upwelling in the Tropical Eastern Pacific, highlighting the resilience of animal-microbe partnerships to environmental change journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

The oceans are undergoing rapid change, and marine animals together with their associated microorganisms must adjust to these changes. While microbes are known to play a critical role in animal health...

Hope to see all new and old faces🥳
Hey all - check this post if you’re at #ASMicrobe this weekend.

Let’s have a meet up tomorrow for a photo op of microbiologists on @bsky.app who are at #ASMicrobe!

Be there at 3 PM at the main entrance giant ASM sign!

In person meetups are super fun - please be there!

And plz repost!
