I'm a PhD student in microbiology 🔬🦠 💻 at Institute Pasteur Paris in Simonetta Gribaldo's lab. Focused on methanogens adaptations to the gut environment
Curious about the top methane-maker in your gut? Meet this month's featured microbe and find out! 🦠💨🔥 in @cp-trendsmicrobiol.bsky.social #archaeasky
