Just out! #cyanolab is excited to publish five new genera and nine new species of #cyanobacteria from various habitats across Europe! We also report for the first time the widespread production of HCN by cyanobacteria amongst different taxa and habitats. authors.elsevier.com/a/1duep…

Just out! In collaboration with @helsinkiuni, a genus-wide #marine #cyanobacteria comparative genomic analysis showed that despite genome reduction in sponge-associated Leptothoe, stains harbored biosynthetic gene clusters encoding novel natural products! mdpi.com/1660-3397/19/6/298
Genome Reduction and Secondary Metabolism of the Marine Sponge-Associated Cyanobacterium Leptothoe

Genome Reduction and Secondary Metabolism of the Marine Sponge-Associated Cyanobacterium Leptothoe

Sponges form symbiotic relationships with diverse and abundant microbial communities. Cyanobacteria are among the most important members of the microbial communities that are associated with sponges....

2020 has been a difficult year for all scientists and yet a year which made clear that the world cannot survive without science. Despite the struggle, #cyanolab published, traveled and much more! Thank you for being a part of it. We wish and work for a better year to come!
