  5. bacLIFE: How AI distinguishes the good from the bad and the ugly

    News
    A study published in Nature last month described how researchers used artificial intelligence to predict the "lifestyle" of certain bacteria (meaning whether they are beneficial or harmful). For this, the researchers created an algorithm named "bacLIFE", which compares the genome of a species with unknown lifestyle, to that of similar species with known lifestyles.

  8. Buzzing decline: Dutch landscape is losing insect-pollinated plants

    News
    The Netherlands is losing plant species that rely on pollination by insects. Leiden environmental scientist Kaixuan Pan demonstrates this after analysing 87 years of measurements from over 365,000 plots. The news is alarming for our biodiversity and food security. "75 per cent of our crops and 90% of the wild plants rely on insects."

  9. MBO or HBO internship: “Good food supports good science”

    Internship
    We hypothesize that the difficulties of long-term culturing of B. calyciflorus populations stems from the fact that food sources typically consist of just one single algal food source and we suspect that the biochemical content (e.g. sterols, amino acids, fatty acids, vitamins) of such food is too incomplete to ensure robust rotifer population growth. For this reason, we have selected a number of promising algal species that, when combined with each other, may provide a better food source. The idea is to test which algal combination is best in sustaining rotifer growth.
