Hanna Rövenich @hroevenich.bsky.social on Algal-fungal symbioses and their molecular foundations
#MibiNet

Axel finishes by bioconversion of natural products and how such process alters the bioactivity, while some activities are reduced (e.g. fungal BGC are not awaken), other activities of the natural product are gained (Chlamydomonas multicellularity)

#MibiNet

Axel highlights the complexity of natural product mediated signalling in microbiomes

#MibiNet

Axel also highlights that the same molecule from Streptomyces, azalomycin F also influence Chlamydomonas multicellularity, the formation of gloeocapsoids

#MibiNet

Axel questions how to awaken BGC expression in Aspergillus nidulans ➡️ using microbial interaction, like their seminal paper from 2009 In PNAS:
www.pnas.org/doi/10.1073/...

signalling molecule was identified later, see their @natmicrobiol.nature.com paper

Axel Brakhage from @leibniz-hki.de Shaping of the structure and composition of microbiomes by natural products
#MibiNet

Thijs finishes on their persepctive about cell size, intercellular membrane systems and phagocytosis by large prokaryotes ➡️ be open minded about the complexity of prokaryotes

Thijs on the discovery of Asgard archaea when he started his group in Uppsala
See their @nature.com paper from 2015

… and diverse Asgard archaea were discovered since

Fighting fire with fire, a 4k morning run with 70 meter elevation gain 2 days after half marathon through the dunes, and just before 3 days of #MibiNet conference in Bensberg (near Cologne)

MibiNet PI Eva Nowack (@hhu.de) has been awarded the 2026 Miescher-Ishida Award by the International Society of Endocytobiology! Honored for her work on how endosymbionts integrate into eukaryotic host cells.
Huge congratulations! 👏

Success in the MSCA Doctoral Network! 🇪🇺
In the new EU project nEXt-RNA, the team led by MibiNet spokesperson @mfeldbruegge.bsky.social (@hhu.de) will investigate exRNA communication between U. maydis & corn. 🌽🍄The future ECRs will have the opportunity to associate with #MibiNet!
