- Reposted by Anne DaebelerIn addition to the 2 postdoc jobs posted yesterday, we’re recruiting 2 PhD students (environmental microbiology/ molecular ecology) to join us from April. The projects will map microbial populations across niches in bioelectrochemical systems relevant to biomethanation & link them to performance.

- ... and others not on bluesky In a nutshell: 1. CO and H2 oxidizers seem more resilient to long-term warming than CH4 oxidizers 2. In consequence, the soil CO and H2 sink remained strong 3. And of course, more research is needed covering other seasons and biomes
