A generation has ended, the very last of those group members who know what “Tak for kagen!” means. Last work day of @xinmingxu.bsky.social before starting her new position in September. Thank you for all the collaborations in the last 6 years from PhD at DTU to PostDoc at Leiden University.
See our review of bacteria-fungi interaction by Yixu Wang together with @jiyuxie.bsky.social from Zhihui Xu group (NAU) and Yicen Lin (Kunming) in Curr Opin Microbiol www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti... Microbiome Ecology at Institute of Biology Leiden / @leidenscience.bsky.social
Collaboration back at DTU now published in Microbiology Spectrum, including the Bacillus work by @neftalyl.bsky.social Dual-function Aspergillus sulphureoviridis: antibacterial polyketides against Dickeya solani and elicitation of Bacillus subtilis lipopeptides journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/...

Another morning run with 🐕, another manuscript accepted, a Leiden - Nanjing - Kunming collaboration
😂 well, in the mentioned paper of @xinmingxu.bsky.social, Pseudomonas aeruginosa was one of the negative controls used for primer specificity, thus, where "primers did not exhibit any unspecific amplification" AI screening of paper needs some improvement why bacterial species names are mentioned
