… were lost in other forms of  Chloroflexota that adapted to marine environments hundreds of millions of years ago.  The … Terrestrial  Chloroflexota have certain traits that most marine  Chloroflexota lost when they returned to an ocean … those traits vanished in bacteria that evolved to inhabit marine environments, while echoes of others remain.  Until …

… sequence analysis to recover the genomes of uncultivated microbes. We also apply labeling strategies that allow us to select specific uncultivated microbes for sequencing based on their level of metabolic …

… come from livestock — specifically, from the methane-making microbes within their rumen. There is another climate-minded … to understand. A better understanding of rumen and the microbes that live there can drive solutions into stemming … researchers around the world to map out genomes of rumen microbes. In 2018, through a JGI Community Science Program …

At the end of the day, all the content produced by microbes the result of millions of years of evolution. And … metabolite, produced by bacterial or fungal metabolism by microbes, will have a functional role. We started from that. … It’s that stuff that is always shared between different microbes. And I think the important thing to remember is …

The Antarctic lakes are a “treasure trove” of unknown microbes that play critical roles in environmental processes … global carbon cycle. The JGI is sequencing large numbers of microbes and microbial communities that contribute to carbon … the genomic basis and ecological consequences of microbe-microbe interactions. Using metagenomes recovered …

… was looking to develop new methods for DNA sequencing of microbes. And what kept breaking our methods was these damn … And another thing is the bugs that produce them – the microbes that make these secondary metabolites – are usually … just to back up, because you started talking about the microbes that produce these secondary metabolites, like, …

… a really interesting field that I guess– so I’m more of a microbe guy, and as is Alison, or not a guy, but [LAUGHS] a microbe lady. And I think I’m always intrigued by the people … on plant natural products. Rich, rich in bacterial and marine stuff. So we need more people annotating. It will …

… use natural products necessarily. Fungi are large. They’re microbes, but they’re large microbes. And they have all sorts of cool phenotypes that … they only talk about the bacteria. My god! 30% of our gut microbes are fungi. It’s really frustrating to me. Maybe …
