Our paper on symbiosis in diatom-rhizobia in marine systems has been published!! Super excited to publish in Nature for the first time!! I am glad to be a member of the group that contributed to this exciting achievement in N cycle in marine!!! @BiogeoMPIBremen n @MarineMicrobio
A marine mystery has been solved!🕵️♂️ @BiogeoMPIBremen find a #symbiosis bw a marine #diatom and #rhizobia that can account for a large share of nitrogen fixation in the ocean. That's also exciting for engineering N-fixing plants. nature.com/articles/s4158… mpi-bremen.de/en/New-Rhizobi…
There is a land, small in size, mighty in soul, called Eritrea. Where no flag but her own flies above her destiny. She bowed to no Bank, signed no paper of dependency, And danced not to the IMF’s tune of modern slavery. She feeds her children from her own soil, Pure, proud,…
MSc & PhD Opportunity in Marine Biogeochemistry! Study trace metal cycling in low-oxygen waters of the South Atlantic and its impact on primary productivity. Contact [email protected] @geotraces @SANCORcommunity
Excited to share I’ve been invited to speak at the 16th European #NitrogenFixation Conference #ENFC2025 in Oxford — Symposium on Biological Nitrogen Fixation with Non-Legumes (Satellite Meeting). Looking forward to connecting and sharing our work! #Microbiology @BiogeoMPIBremen
Our new paper is out in @SciReports We show that microbial communities on individual sand grains create anoxic #microenvironments—enhancing nitrogen loss even in oxygenated coastal #sediments doi.org/10.1038/s41598… #NitrogenCycle #MarineScience @MarineMicrobio @BiogeoMPIBremen
Excited to share our latest publication in @SciReports! We show how microbial activity creates anoxic #microenvironments on individual sand grains, driving nitrogen loss in well-oxygenated coastal #sediments. doi.org/10.1038/s41598… #Biogeochemistry #MarineMicrobiology
I’m thrilled to share that I have officially defended my PhD! After years of hard work, I’m proud to have reached this significant milestone. A huge thank u to my advisor, committee members, colleagues, friends, family and my wife who supported me throughout this journey

Just completed crossing the Northern Atlantic aboard a German research vessel (M203) for the second time! This journey ends in the same city where my first adventure began back in 2020. Looking forward to analyze the samples back at the institute. #Science, #Iron #N2-fixation

After submitting my PhD thesis a week ago, @Judith_Giessen and I will be on expedition with RV METEOR for the next 7 weeks @BiogeoMPIBremen .. so excited for the adventure

Great paper by Jan von Arx , Jana Milucka & colleagues @NatureComms on the "#Methylphosphonate-driven #methane formation and its link to primary production in the oligotrophic North Atlantic" @abililily @MiriMarine @sinaschorn #trichodesmium #microbiology #marinebiology #
The origin of methane in oxic waters of the open ocean remains uncertain. These authors document methylphosphonate-driven methane formation in the tropical North Atlantic, showing the ecological importance of phosphonates. @MarineMicrobio @BiogeoMPIBremen nature.com/articles/s4146…
Congratulations to @jan_arx for defending his PhD @BiogeoMPIBremen @Mpi Bremen

Presenting my poster at #ENFC2023 in Naples, where we used nanoSIMS to understand the impact of nutrients on N2 fixation @BiogeoMPIBremen #youngscientist

Almost, just almost, the whole Max Planck Runners team!
Many thanks to all who joined from our institute (60 in total!), it was great fun! 🏃🏃♂️🏃♀️ And we even got to sooo close to the green in #WeserStadion! 😃 @BiogeoMPIBremen @MolEcol_MPIMM @Habitat_MPI #B2Run #B2RunBremen @maxplanckpress
Great feeling to get the first victory of the season. Thanks for amazing teamwork @IntermarcheCW 🙏🏻
