Monday December 14th, a course on multivariate analysis methods for microbiome data is provided by Age Smilde, Anouk Zancarini and Johan Westerhuis. The focus will be on: properties of multivariate microbiome data unconstrained multivariate analysis: PCA and PCoA constrained multivariate analysis: RDA and distance based RDA There will also be a tutorial in R, so…

Phyllosphere microbial communities inhabit the aerial plant parts, such as leaves and flowers, where they form complex molecular interactions with the host plant. Contrary to the relatively well-studied rhizosphere microbiome, scientists are just starting to understand, and potentially utilize, the phyllosphere microbiome. In this article, recent studies that have provided novel insights into the mechanism…

Microbiomen zijn welhaast het nieuwe toverwoord van vrijwel alle biologen. Het Amsterdam Microbiome Initiative gaat nu op zoek naar de gemeenschappelijke rol die zulke microbiële gemeenschappen spelen, ter land, ter zee en van mond tot darm en brein.

Pankaj Trivedi, Jan E. Leach, Susannah G. Tringe, Tongmin Sa and Brajesh K. Singh Healthy plants host diverse but taxonomically structured communities of microorganisms, the plant microbiota, that colonize every accessible plant tissue. Plant-associated microbiomes confer fitness advantages to the plant host, including growth promotion, nutrient uptake, stress tolerance and resistance to pathogens. In this…

Are you fascinated by the world of microorganisms? Do you want to know how a microbial cell works? Do you want to unravel why some make us ill but many are absolutely essential for a healthy life? Are you interested in the molecular interactions in microbial consortia and between microbes and their hosts? We are seeking…
