  1. I've got a quick question for the friendly microbiologists of Mastodon.

    It's my understanding that it's common for some environmental change to wipe out 90+% of a bacterial colony, only to have the survivors quickly multiply back to their original numbers, this time with a mutation that grants resistance to whatever the threat was.

    Is there a name for this phenomenon (not "gene fixation," but the die back and recovery)? Are there canonical papers about it?

    EDIT: I think "population bottleneck" is the best way to describe what I mean, though I got a few other very good suggestions for related terms.

    Thanks everyone! You guys are the best. ❤️

  17. 🌫️🦠 Researchers from #ArizonaState University and #Susquehanna University collected #fog samples over 32 events across two years and found living #bacteria — mostly Methylobacterium — at concentrations comparable to seawater.

    The #microbes appeared to be actively growing inside fog droplets and could break down formaldehyde much faster than previously observed in #cloud #water, suggesting fog acts as both a habitat and a natural air filter.
