My podcast "Natural Prodcast" about the science and scientists of #SecondaryMetabolism and #NaturalProducts is now returning to your podcast feeds after a fairly long break.

In this 20th episode, we talk to the brilliant @BrianOBachmann about #DrugDiscovery #Cave #Microbiology and #Genome mining, among other fun ideas from his research. Show notes and transcripts are at:

(Please share! I have no idea how Mastodon promotion might go, and I'd love to leave X permanently)

A new season of Natural Prodcast is releasing to your feeds now! We always start with a Primer episode, and in this one we're going to talk about how you can work with the @jgi (and maybe me!) through our Community Science Program.

I've got another 7 shows already recorded, so there's lot more to come over the next few months!

Hi Mastodon, I'm here too!
I am an illustrator who specializes in communicating complex topics in a playful manner. I do this both for my personal work and for MinuteEarth.
Looking forward to hanging out with all of you in this new platform :)

Mapping the BGCs to a species phylogeny from GTDB allowed us to see who's making (detectable) NRP metallophores. We found BGCs in 60% of Myxobacteria, 41% of Cyanobacteria, 35% of Actinobacteria, 18% of Proteobacteria, and just 3.3% of Firmicutes. Few were found outside these phyla.

Where can we find biosynthetic novelty? Cyanobacteria! We found them to be severely understudied. Nearly all BGCs were distinct from each other and from the two (!) known cyanobacterial NRP metallophores.

So what's next?

Well as for me, I'm looking for my next step! I've had a fantastic postdoc with @marnixmedema, but it will soon be time for me to move on. I'm looking for a position, possibly remote, that will allow me to return to my home in sunny Santa Barbara, California. If you have any leads, please let me know!

And as for metallophore discovery? We already have plans for an expanded full paper, so stay tuned!

Happy World Soil Day!

Our lab works on soil biodiversity (with a focus on #fungi), soil functions, and on the effects of various factors of global change on soils.
