Congratulations to Felix Weber and team NARMIL!
His paper entitled, “Using stable isotope probing and Raman microspectroscopy to measure growth rates of heterotrophic bacteria” (Weber F, Zaliznyak T, Edgcomb VP, Taylor GT) was published this week in Applied and Environmental Microbiology (87(22) e01460-21), a preeminent journal published by the American Society for Microbiology.
The icing on the cake is that the cover art for this issue of AEM was produced by NARMIL’s own Tanya Zaliznyak. Kudos!
This paper is the first-ever description of an absolutely unique technique to measure variations in growth rates among individual heterotrophic bacterial cells within a population using stable isotopes and Raman microspectroscopy. Could be a game-changer.
