@apb_lab
Laboratory of anoxygenic phototrophs at ALGATECH (Třeboň). We study ecology and physiology of anoxygenic phototrophic bacteria.
PhD project Dual Phototrophy! We are looking for motivated students to investigate exciting organisms which harvest light energy by bacteriochlorophyll as well as proton-pumping rhodopsins! For more information see►alga.cz/en/c-670-caree…

📄New paper out! Structural insights into light harvesting by antenna-containing rhodopsins in marine Asgard archaea @NatureMicrobiol 🦠 Great collaboration🤝team from Israel, Japan, Germany, Switzerland & Czech Republic #algatech @apb_lab
Our new paper on HeimdallR, carotenoid-binding rhodopsin from Heimdall archaea—one of the closest species of eukaryotic ancestors—has been published in Nat. Microbiol.!📄✨This is a wonderful international collaboration!🌏(1/2) nature.com/articles/s4156… @NatureMicrobiol #OpenAccess

👉Czech Grant Foundation supported our project DualPhoto focused on photophysiology of bacteria capable of harvesting light energy using both rhodopsin and bacteriochlorophyll. 🌞🦠

I'm very happy to share our recent publication on aerobic anoxygenic phototrophic (AAP) bacteria! In this paper, I moved from genetics, to study their distribution across a huge transect... aslopubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/ln… 🧵1/4

Izabel Mujakić has received a Postdoc fellowship from the Czech Academy of Sciences to continue her work on evolution of phototrophic Gemmatimonadota. Congratulations Izabela! 👍

In Prague with @CarlotaRGazulla for the 6th Regional Symposium on Aquatic Microbial Ecology, presenting our data on AAP bacteria. Thank you @apb_lab for the organization! 🚤🏞🌊💦🧫🦠🧬
