Huge congrats to Sylvia Bonilla 🏆 on winning the Kilham Memorial Lecture Award from SIL! Her vital work on toxic cyanobacteria across Latin America is attracting high interest from researchers across Europe and worldwide. 🔬🌍 @cyanoaction.bsky.social @ictc13.bsky.social

🧪📣 Save the date for SETAC Europe 2016 @setac.bsky.social #SETACMaastricht ! Our Session title: "Integrating #Genomics, #Metabolomics, and Control Strategies to Address Harmful Algal and #Cyanobacterial Blooms", Chaired by Petra Visser, Dail Laughinghouse, @anastasiahiskia.bsky.social.

Implementing the MCheM setup is pretty easy, and all reagents and hardware components are commercially available and relatively cheap. MCheM data analysis is supported in @mzmine.bsky.social @gnps2.bsky.social and SIRIUS (@brightgiant.bsky.social) and free for academic researchers.

Thanks so much to everybody who made this interdisciplinary project possible. And epically the editor and the three reviewers at @natcomms.nature.com for their throughout positive feedback.

New paper from the group. Together with Chambers Hughes, Giovanni Vitale and our amazing collaborators, we developed a multiplexed chemical metabolomics workflow to assign functional groups in non-targeted LC-MS/MS data: www.nature.com/articles/s41... Behind the paper story: go.nature.com/45ljV4d

A #cyanobacteria alert has been issued for #Barnstable's Hinckley’s Pond. Officials urge visitors to avoid contact with any algae blooms and keep pets away www.capecod.com/newscenter/l...

Don’t judge a lake by its colour. In The Media: WI member Dr. Jozef Nissimov explores how viruses that attack cyanobacteria could help clear toxic algal blooms—but may leave behind hidden toxins. Read the @cottagelife article: cottagelife.com/general/coul...

To analyse bioelectrical pathways, we interfaced thylakoid membranes isolated from #cyanobacteria with structured #electrodes. These #membranes contain a highly complex network of electron transfer, including electron transport chains for #photosynthesis and #respiration. (2/10)

Sharing #infographics from our qualitative study about risk perceptions and behaviours of parents and dog owners about cyanobacterial blooms in freshwater: doi.org/10.32920/296... (separate versions available for parents and dog owners) #cyanobacteria #waterquality #environmentalhealth

🥳🥳 Our work exploring the core microbiomes of stable cyanobacterial communities is now out in the @isme-microbes.bsky.social Journal!!! Excellent work by @andrejakust.bsky.social and company! #microbiology #cyanobacteria #metagenomics

🚨 Fresh from the press! We created and analyzed over 100 in vitro cyanobacterial consortia using well-characterized model cyanobacterial hosts to better understand how cyanobacteria recruit and interact with their microbiomes. Check it out: doi.org/10.1093/isme...

Are their any #cyanobacteria researchers that are affiliated with sciencemoab.org? I remember there being an ad-hoc journal club related to this group, and I'd like to contact them. 🦠🧬👀 #mevosky

Excited to be one of the guest editors! We’re calling for papers on cutting-edge #proteomics and #metabolomics in #multiomics research. Looking forward to your submissions!

Woo-hoo! Our MetaboArt proposal won a prize in AI art at #Metabolomics2025. 🥰 Title: #Cyanobacteria Metabolomics Big thanks to @emn-metsoc.bsky.social #MetaboArt #Metabolomics2025 #MetSoc25

Just like Marine #cyanobacteria are"the smallest known photosynthetic organisms; Prochlorococcus is the smallest at just 0.5 to 0.7 micrometres in diameter. The coccoid shaped cells are #nonMotile and #freeLiving." Just living the life, soaking up some sun, chillin.

It’s always a very colorful day when one works with #cyanobacteria 🤩🧪🔬🥼

DreaMS come true ! Just published by the @pluskal-lab.org group at @iocbprague.bsky.social : Self-supervised learning of molecular representations from millions of tandem mass spectra using DreaMS. Paper: doi.org/10.1038/s415... Github: github.com/pluskal-lab/...

Last week in #ICTC13 we contributed to 6 presentations (oral/posters). So nice to discuss with colleagues about new #cyanobacteria metabolites projects. See our #ICTC13 contributions here: www.aquomixlab.com/news @ictc13.bsky.social #Teammassspec #metabolomics

And just like that, #SETACVienna is over. But even on the last day, we had some great talks, with topics such as the transfer of #PFAS in marine mammals, and the fluxes of #bisphenols and #phthalates in the Gulf of Mexico. I'm already looking forward to #SETAC2026! @setac.bsky.social

Tomorrow (13.05) at #SETACViena, I will be presenting a poster (Tu036) on the impact of multiple #stressors on #cyanobacterial metabolism🧪. Spoiler alert 👀: I will be talking about cigarette butts 🚬and chytrid #parasites. Come and visit me if you would like to find out more! @setac.bsky.social

Thanks to the organisers for a fantastic #ICTC13 and to all the participants for the super fruitful discussions. It was my first ICTC and I had such a wonderful experience 🤩. I'm so looking forward to ICTC14 👀 @ictc13.bsky.social

Get Ready! Only 3 weeks to go until #ASMS2025! Our team will be showcasing our latest developments in #mzmine at this year’s conference. Stop by Booth 210 for live demonstrations and insights into how you can streamline your data processing across multiple vendors, adding speed and confidence.

From #cyanobacteria new metabolites to biosynthetic genes to novel enzymes. Great invited talk by Pedro Leao @ciimar.bsky.social #ICTC13.

Our group photo ❤️. Big thanks to all participants for their contributions.

Many thanks to the @ictc13.bsky.social organizers for this excellently organized and inspiring conference and the always friendly, welcoming + enthusiastic atmosphere 💙💚

The @ictc13.bsky.social keynote everyone was waiting for: Hans Paerl. He provided a truly global view, expanding our focus to coastal and marine systems. He stressed that sustainable control requires P and N reduction and that climate change, droughts, floods, and storms intensify our challenges.

Taxonomic and functional #metagenomic assessment of #cyanobacteria. Invited talk by Nico Salmaso of the Research and Innovation Centre Fondazione Edmund Mach (FEM).

Hans Paerl - Mitigating harmful #cyanobacterial blooms (CyanoHABs) in an increasingly chaotic and extreme global #climate. #Cyanobacteria like it hot, but it's not just temperature....Invited talk at #ICTC13.

#Microcystins as leads for drugs development ? Yes, and Timo Niedermeyer gave an excellent invited talk on this topic at #ICTC13. @timoniedermeyer.bsky.social @niedermeyer-lab.bsky.social

The #mzmine dance at #ICTC13. @mzmine.bsky.social @robinschmid.bsky.social & Corinna Brungs.

Day 4 at #ICTC13. Great talks on taxonomy, metagenomics, #cyanobacterial metabolism and much more… we even had some music. Ending the day with the great farewell beach party @ictc13.bsky.social

The question was whether 'Planktothrix is in trouble', given that in recent years it has appeared in deeper layers below the euphotic depth. His explanation: lower P due to re-oligotrophication, so that P.r. is 'oversummering' in the hypolimnion and only growing in winter.

Bas Ibelings started with a musical introduction to his talk about Planktothrix rubescens at @ictc13.bsky.social

The invasive and toxin-producing cyanobacterium Raphidiopsis raciborskii is spreading worldwide. Willis Anusuya's keynote speech on Tuesday at @ictc13.bsky.social provided insight into its stunning genomic biodiversity and flexibility on a global scale. @cyanoaction.bsky.social
