The world’s coldest microbes are waking up.

Warming across the cryosphere — from melting glaciers to thawing permafrost — is accelerating microbial activity, reshaping carbon and nutrient fluxes, and amplifying climate feedbacks

Meet Marina from the Hutlab!

Marina recently earned her Ph.D. in Molecular Epidemiology and is currently continuing her work as a postdoctoral researcher in the lab. Her work focuses on human–environment microbial interactions and transmission, particularly within built environments.

Phages may drive microbial diversity, yet we often don’t even know how phages & bacteria correlate in nature. Our new study tackles this in the honeybee gut, thanks to the great work of PhD student @malickndiaye.bsky.social at @dmf-unil.bsky.social @fbm-unil.bsky.social

“We realized that degradation did not simply mean “loss”, but reorganization. As dominant clonal species lost ground, new ecological niches opened up, allowing forbs and diverse microbial taxa to thrive.”
