Assembly mechanisms in aquatic bacterial communities -‐ the role of disturbances, dispersal and history Opponent: Matthew Leibold

Challenge: The 13th Symposium SAME (this year called First EMBO Conference on Aquatic Microbial Ecology) was hold in Stresa, Italy. With 440 attendees (microbial ecologists, aquatic and environmental microbiologists, and scientists with an interest in aquatic microbial ecology) from over 50 countries this meeting was one of the largest of the SAME series. The beauty of this series is the concept of a small-‐scale meeting without parallel sessions, ensuring the highest attendance to oral presentations, as well as to posters, with the participation by the world leaders in the field of aquatic microbial ecology. Outstanding keynote lectures, high consideration for PhD students and young researchers combined with a number of social events make these meetings unique. In 2015, we will have the pleasure to host SAME 14 here in Uppsala. Exciting!

Welcome to Limno:
Martha Schattenhofer from Germany starts her postdoc with Stefan on the topic: “Adaptation of microbial communities to changes in the environment”. She did her PhD on the topic of distribution and diversity of marine bacterioplankton at the MPI for marine microbiology in Bremen, Germany. During her first postdoc she was the project coordinator of the Helmholtz-‐Alberta-‐Initiative at the UFZ in Leipzig, Germany dealing with sustainable oil sands tailings management.
Aunchalee Aussanasuwannakul is a researcher from Thailand. Her research has focused on relating fish growth to flesh quality. She received her Ph.D. in Animal and Food Sciences with an emphasis on Aquaculture from West Virginia University, U.S.A. in 2011. Her dissertation used fertile (2N) and sterile (3N) female rainbow trout (Oncorhynchus mykiss) as a model evaluating the effect of egg development on nutrient turnover and the impact of this turnover on fillet quality. Her recent project related muscle organization and molecular components to flesh texture of rainbow trout fed plant-‐based diet was conducted in collaboration with INRA – Fish Physiology and Genomics Laboratory in France.
Aunchalee will join Limnology in Peters group as a postdoctoral fellow for six months to study the development and growth of perch in relation to food quality.
Lyubov Bragina is a PhD student from Dundalk Institute of Technology (Ireland) currently visiting Uppsala as part of the COST Action "Netlake" short term scientific missions (host Stefan Bertilsson). Water quality is a priority area in Ireland is very important, partly because many lakes are used as drinking water resources. Lyubov’s PhD project deals with how intensive agriculture and cattle farming may affect the sustainable use of surface waters as drinking water reservoirs. One tool used is microbial source tracking with E. coli as fecal indicators and the influence of environmental change on pathogen survival and dispersion.
Marcus Wallin is starting a PostDoc with Gesa. He is interested in the landscape C cycling and particular the influence of aquatic systems and their function as conduits for export of C and GHG´s across the terrestrial/aquatic/atmosphere interfaces. He did his PhD at SLU and is currently finishing a postdoc at UU, Earth Sciences. From October he will move to Limno and work within the LAGGE project modelling C and N in aquatic systems. He is looking forward to the project and to meet new (and old) colleagues.
