UCR-Microbiome Initiative

Register for the SoCal #microbiome #symposium at #UCR on 9/22/23!Awesome lineup: DianneNewman @mwallenstein @RoperLabUCR @DrSueIshaq @IvanVujovi3 AnselHsiao @MRebolleda @emmala! Hosted by @UCRiverside @UCI_Microbiome @CedarsSinai @UCSanDiego

New Glassman lab paper led by my former PhD student @Pulido_Fabi! Some of you may remember the Stirling Ultracold freezer saga of 2020. Well.c we made lemonade out of lemons! If this happens to you don’t rush to throw everything away. journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/ms…

Many crops lose their reliance on #AMF during domestication, but we found a novel #perennial grain is becoming MORE responsive to AMF. Work by Tom McKenna, @lizkoziol Jared Crain @crews1859 Ben Sikes, Lee DeHaan and Jim Bever @NatureAsMeasure nph.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/pp…

Microplate readers used for bacterial growth experiments generate lots of data. The user-friendly ipolygrowth R package, presented in #MRAJournal, calculates growth rate parameters for microplate time series data using 4th-degree polynomial functions. asm.social/27Q

We are hiring a postdoc who will study bacterial biogeography from local to global scale. If you want to join our group in the Institute of Microbiology, Prague and explore with us this topic, look here: mbucas.cz/wp-content/upl…

Achievement unlocked: Tenure ✅😊 thanks so much to all of my teachers, professors, mentors, advisors, family, friends, colleagues, collaborators, and mentees who helped me get to this point. The Glassman lab lives on!#thefutureisfungi #tenure #science #fungi 🍄🦠🔥🌲

Join us for the 10th (!) SoCal Microbiome Symposium on Friday Sept 20, 2024! @MicrobiomeUcr @AmiBhattMD @PJorth @JasonArothman @ZBioticsCompany @justinrmeyer @smruthi_karthik @sydneyglassman @Matt_E_Griffin microbiome.uci.edu/event/10th-ann…

Register for the SoCal #Microbiome Symposium by 9/1! Even is 9/22 on #UCR campus. Registration link here: microplantpath.ucr.edu/event-list/202… Please retweet/spread on other platforms! See you there!

We have an open post-doc position in Soil Microbiome Resilience! ashley17061.wixsite.com/shadelab/singl… @INEE_CNRS @ecomicrolyon @ERC_Research Please spread the news! @ESASoilEcology @ESAMicrobe @asm_eeb

Paper just out: (Ernie) Osburn et al. w/ @Gaowen_Yang @strickm27 @ISMEComms Evaluating the role of bacterial diversity in supporting soil ecosystem functions under anthropogenic stress nature.com/articles/s4370…

An experiment conducted at 73 sites, covering a very wide range of grassland management intensity in the @BExplo_reseasearch shows that increasing plant species richness by seeding has only marginal effects on ecosystem functioning. OA in @JEcology: besjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.11…

The plant–mycorrhizal fungi collaboration gradient depends on plant functional group. Our new paper is out in @FunEcology . Grasses rely less on mycorrhizal fungi while herbs and legumes benefit. @fromeroblanch doi.org/10.1111/1365-2…

Excited to share my 1st postdoc work published in @SoilBiolBiochem! We explore how ectomycorrhizal N uptake inhibits saprotrophic decomposition via a process-based model. Kudos to my amazing collaborators @Carbon_Cait, @BenjaminSulman, and Nina Wurzburger! doi.org/10.1016/j.soil…

Excited that the newest Glassman lab article is out today! Congrats @CaiafaMarcos for leading the effort and @mj_wilkins @BorchLab @amelia_rnelson and others. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Happy #WorldBiodiversityDay Aren't fungi beautiful? These are 30 soil fungi all isolated from the same grassland soil east of Berlin. We have been working on trait-based ecology of fungi for around 10 years.

Our new article in @NatureEcoEvo , we showed that soil biodiversity &functions exhibited pervasive nonlinear patterns globally- suggesting water availability thresholds can have critical consequences for provision of key ecosystem services. @ManuDelBaq nature.com/articles/s4155…
