Our botanical artist Alfonso Barbosa took on the challenge and drew this wonderful illustration of fungal endophytes 🌱🍄
Thanks you #MeeHubs2026 and our local organisers @ayari.bsky.social and Luciana Raggi formputting together a great event! See you in 2028!
To conclude today's session at Morelia, we had a great discussion panel on omics for microbial ecology, the need for creativity and ecological questions, as well as experimental validation of predictive and inference models.
José Luis Ávila Oviedo gave us some great insights on Flavobacterium, its PGP properties, and the need to focus our isolation efforts on Bacteroidota
Next, @mirnavrl.bsky.social showed us how important sediment microbiomes aré for mangrove restoration. Take-home message? Depth matters! #MEEHub26
Followed by a wonderful talk by @robertoalvarez.bsky.social on multi-layer networks as a tool for multi-omic dataset integration
That's a wrap for #MeeHubs2026! Today at the Morelia hub: plenary talk by Ana Escalante on bridging the gap between diversity and function in soil microbial communities
Last but not least, a discussion panel on microbiomes and microbial inoculants for agricultural sustainability. That's it for the day at #MeeHubs2026 Morelia!
Esmeralda López Lozano on microbiomes as crucial players of #OneHealth in goat-grazed agrosystems. Goats were actually "interviewed" for their feeding preferences! 🐐
Next, a multiomic study on the Fusarium dieback - avocado pathobiome from our group, presented by Alfonso Méndez Bravo
Followed by Eneas Aguirre with cool metagenomic studies on traditional milpa microbiomes across an ecological gradient
Day 2 at #MEEHubs2026 Morelia. Plenary talk by Etzel Garrido on bacteria shaping plant-insect interactions #MEEHubs26
And our discussion panel on descentralizing microbial ecology in Mexico, and establishing a legal framework to comply with the Nagoya protocol
Followed by SynComs from maize seeds by Dr Jorge Rocha from CIBNOR, with beautiful phenotype images of bacterial synthetic communities #MoreliaHub #MEEHub26
Fantastic talks and discussions today at #MEEHubs2026 Plenary talk by Dr Esperanza Martínez from CCG-UNAM on small molecules as currency in plant-microbe interactions
New #preprint from the lab! "Root rot by Phytophthora cinnamomi shifts the composition and structure of avocado rhizosphere fungal communities" doi.org/10.64898/202...
New record of #Echeveria for México, and the species is named after my father-in-law 🤩 doi.org/10.21829/abm...
View from the office, 8 am. Grateful for being surrounded by vegetation! 🌿
On Wednesday I will be giving a talk (in Spanish) about our findings on how #Phytophthora rewires the avocado microbiome and metabolome. 🥑🦠🍄🧪🧬 #microsky
Most recent photo from the lab! 🤩 I'm grateful for such amazing students.
Celebrating the acceptance of Rosaura's paper! 🥳 Alfaro-García et al., soon available in @femsjournals.bsky.social 😁
Our collection of rhizobacteria from Mexican wild legumes has officially started 🌿🦠
🚨 New preprint from the lab! Endophytic fungi from avocado trees exhibir potencial for multi-target biocontrol applications tinyurl.com/yt6arv95 2nd manuscript from PhD student Daniel Sánchez-Hernández 🍄🥑 #MexicanScience #Fungi #Endophytes
Snapshot of the endophytic fungal diversity of Mexican oaks. 🌳🍄 What a better way to start a day than to look at some #fungi?
Back from the cloud forest and on to a field day in temperate forests to sample #PGPR from wild legumes. Mexico is a beautiful country.
Great day today. Only science and no admin. 🙌 Our PhD student Daniel Sanchez giving a seminar at #UNAM and a post-seminar lunch to celebrate Marina López 's paper on nectar microbes, and her postdoc renewal. 🍾 Time for holidays!
Muy contenta de participar en este conversatorio en el marco del #8M 💜 "Ciencia en femenino: mujeres científicas en Pátzcuaro" 💪 #MujeresEnLaCiencia
Early morning in Pátzcuaro, before the press conference to announce the City science fair 🤖⚛️🔬
