The MetaMine project had its second meeting in the beautiful town of Göttingen, Germany, 14. – 15. February 2019.
We decided to have this meeting relatively early in order to be ahead in the preparations and planning regarding sampling of shipworms and metagenomic DNA purification & sequencing.
Ana-Maria Tanase, Luisa Borges and Seila Pandur on their way to the Georg-August University Göttingen, Institute of Microbiology and Genetics, Department of Genomic and Applied Microbiology.
We all presented our results and discussed the path ahead. So far no major setbacks in the project. Ana-Maria Tanase is here presenting the results from the panel deployment in the Romanian Black Sea.

There was plenty of oppurtunity to exercise in the looong staircase.
After the interesting lab tour, the botanical garden on campus was really refreshing to walk through.
