Why accept high quality genome bins as type material, when you can get perfect closed genomes from the same organisms with currently available technologies and a little extra work. #ISME17 #Nanopore

See you all today at poster 613B for the interesting "Tom and Jerry"tales of my "phages and bacteria" in the subsurface! #ISME17 @CRC_AquaDiva @UFZ_de pic.twitter.com/neZbLnngRJ

Oof. Tried to get in for Kostas Konstantinidis’ talk about defining species with meta genome data at #ISME17 this morning, but it’s in a small hall and crammed with people. Bit of a miscalculation for room scheduling.

Primary producers are amazing hubs even at a microscale. Though element exchanges too can be massive since diatoms occupy such large water body spaces! #ISME17 pic.twitter.com/Z32M40YaIZ

LHenry facultative symbionts are not essential, but there are benefits to host and microbe
— Akos T. Kovacs (@EvolvedBiofilm) August 14, 2018
Facultative symbionts act like plasmids in bacteria => Do they function as horizontal gene transfer?
Is this a mode of evolution for eukaryotes? #ISME17

There is a "agal bloom" in front of hall4 - uncultured taxa. #ISME17 a sideeffect of the E.coli joke in th morning keynote speach ? pic.twitter.com/lVXLd1sJCV

Amazing presentation on fish - microbiome interaction and aquaculture sustainability by Newton Gomes #isme17 #ISME2018 #microbiome #fish #aquaculture

The room is so full. It shows that microbial ecologisy are looking to find a unified solution to classify uncultivated #isme17

I think #ISME17 underestimated how many people care about taxonomy. Hall 4 is PACKED. pic.twitter.com/48cG5HLCf1

KK used to think there was a genetic continuum, and maybe species do not exist? #isme17

Analysis of 100s of metagenomes shows that species exist and can be reliably described taxonomically #ISME17 Kostas Konstantidinis

bummed to have to miss Kostas Konstantinidis at #ISME17, the room is impossible to get into...

LHenry how symbionts are established, including heritable symbionts => these symbionts will be locked in the host and have their genome reduced, e.g. in insects facultative and obligate symbionts #ISME17

"No reason to expect phylogentic sequence cutoffs capture ecological information." - Marin Polz. Anyone working on a tool to identify some 'maximum information coefficient' that suggests cutoff(s) to use? #ISME17 #forloop

Konstantinidis encourages people with opposing views to their radical taxonomy suggestions to please speak up. ✌️ #ISME17
