So grateful I could be part of that journey! Many thanks again to Gerhard Herndl and everyone in his team @microbialoceanv.bsky.social, as well as the amazing crew from @niozsearesearch.bsky.social aboard the RV Pelagia.

Bacteria that 'breathe' rocks and sulphur. 🦠🧫
An international team of scientists led by #microbiologists @loyteam.bsky.social and Marc Mussmann have uncovered #bacteria that remove toxic sulfide and use iron #minerals for growth. 🧪🧑‍🔬

Excited to share our new study in @naturecomms.bsky.social showing that soil fungi, unlike bacteria, remain fully active under severe drought conditions, and also invest in synthesis of storage compounds.
