This month, we have had Nikolaos Kaloterakis here in Lund, visiting from Forschungszentrum Jülich through a mobility grant from ISME. Nikos has been learning how to fabricate and work with the soil chip systems and has done some experiments with a fungal pathogen and two strains of beneficial rhizosphere bacteria. It is always fascinating to get to see these interactions up close in detail in the chip systems.

This month, we have Jennifer Simm visiting from the lab of Christophe Roux at the University of Toulouse in France. Jennifer works with specific AMF - bacteria interactions, and we are looking forward to seeing how we can manipulate this system in our chips and document the interaction up close. So far, there has been a lot of chip fabrication for Jennifer, with more microscopy to come in the next few weeks.
