Microbial ecology lesson from re-use of open access metagenomic dataset: the case-study of fermented vegetables

Published: May 17, 2024 by FME Lab

Happy to share our last article published online last week 15th of May in Microbiology Spectrum¹.

This study being part of Romane Junker PhD (MaIAge/Micalis/CIRM-BIA laboratories). In this work, we show that the re-use of public 16S amplicon dataset can bring new understanding in the dynamic microbial ecology of fermented vegetables.

During the 1st Food System Conference in Torino last week, Romane also presented a poster pitch of the follow up of this study using new and public metagenomic shotgun data.

A seed meeting between INRAE Micalis Institute and Imperial College London

Last week on October 3rd, scientists from Imperial College London (ICL) and from INRAE Micalis Institute were hosted by the French embassy in London for a seed meeting around synthetic biology and synthetic microbial ecology as scientific strategies for biotechnology and food production. A special thanks to the organizer: Ludovic Drouin (French Embassy), Young-Kyoung Park (Micalis) and Rodriguo Ledesma-Amaro (ICL). Our several groups with complementary research discussed about perspectives of future collaborations on the field together with Ferment du Futur or Bezos Centre.
