The last few days, Rafa has visited the city of Vigo at the northwester coast of Spain. Here, he has obtained samples from the Ria de Vigo in collaboration with Aide Lasa from the Biological Oceanography Group from University of Vigo. This samples are for a new collaboration between both scientists, which ct aims to investigate the microbial...
The VII Scientific Workshop of the MNCN was held on the 25-26th of April. Pedro and Cleo presented the preliminary results obtained during their Master Thesis. Cleo showed the metabolic model of a methanotrophic archaea, while Pedro presented his research on the genome of an Asgardarchaeum. It was their first scientific meeting, but they really...
This research family has expanded! Pedro and Cleo have joined the team to do their Master Thesis at the Museum. They are doing their Master in Microbiology at the Universidad Autónoma de Madrid. Now they will study the metagenomes from deep-sea slimes with an interesting microbial community. Stay tuned for their discoveries!
Exciting news! 🎉 Just wanted to share that our latest research has been published as a preprint! 📝🔬 The title? "Nitrogen cycling during an Arctic bloom: from chemolithotrophy to nitrogen assimilation." Link here.
On February 26th, I presented a seminar at the seminar of the Department of Systems Biology of the Centro Nacional de Biotecnología (CNB-CSIC, Madrid). I showed the results obtained in a project analyzing the microbial community succession during an Arctic phtytoplankton bloom and how this community is related to the cycling of nitrogen. I...
