Congratulations to Nico, Vladimir, Lenka and Claire, for their new publication on the genome of Pseudomonas nitroreducens, the first bacterium to degrade 2-hydroxybiphenyl! In contrast to previous reports, we find that the P. nitroreducens genome has three replicons and two new exciting ICEs.

Congratulations to Nico, Xavier, Sandra, François and Christian for our new publication in eLife, which describes the way how ICE bistability is regulated! Wonderful achievement!

Pass it on!

Congratulations to Birge, Noushin and Ambrin on their newest publication on the concept to use trained algorithms to recognize bacterial cell types in known and unknown communities from multiparametric flow cytometry data! Brilliant!

We are looking for an enthusiastic postdoctoral worker interested in studying microbial species-species interactions in mouse gut communities using high throughput bead technology. This collaborative project will be carried out within the newly started NCCR Microbiomes with the group of Sigi Hapfelmeier at the University of Bern. To apply, please contact me or submit your application directly on the UNIL recruitment site.

Our new NCCR Swisswide project initiative on Microbiomes has started! As Director of this NCCR I am very excited to see this important research topic being pursued across Switzerland in multi-collaborative research. For more information, see the NCCR website.
