The Probst Lab
@probstlab.bsky.social
Group for Environmental Metagenomics, led by @alexjprobst.bsky.social
Microbial, viral, & geochemical interactions by linking meta'omics & microscopy
Managed by @geomicrosoares.bsky.social
They made up the Data Reuse Core Team along with @lhug.bsky.social @environmicrobio.bsky.social @folker.bsky.social and had the support of the Data Reuse Consortium, composed of 167 scientists globally who were pivotal in driving this effort forward! Thank you all! 🧬

We tracked nucleotide diversity in MAGs across different mining stages, which suggested widespread mutational pressure under long-term environmental stress!

We leveraged #metagenomics & #metatranscriptomics data to estimate microdiversity in groundwater at different stages of U mining.

We show that U in-situ leaching drives significant alterations in 🦠 community composition, oxidative stress, biogeochemical cycling, and overexpression of 🧬 repair genes

We are grateful for the privilege of hosting Sigrid Neuhauser @sigridneuhauser.bsky.social today. She delivered a fascinating talk about her work on Phytomyxids. As part of the university network AURORA she currently visits the ProbstLab to foster scientific cooperations. 🥬🧬🥦
