  1. Well darn! I was reading an article recommended by a Reddit user in a question/thread about treating a white mold in a household. I was completely shocked that so many museums have this problem. And that one of the most famous drawings in the world also has it. This is a recent article in Scientic American. Hope you can read it from this link. #Mold #Extremophile #Museum

  2. The future of life in #space 🌌 will likely depend on our ability to simulate, design, and guide #microbial 🦠 ecosystems capable of adapting to #alien worlds. Biofilm-forming communities have demonstrated not only survivability but also functionality under simulated #Martian stressors. The viability of life beyond Earth will depend on the robustness and adaptability of collective #biological systems nature.com/articles/s42003-025

  3. Meet the #extremophile #molds wreaking havoc in #museums
    Extremophile molds are invading art museums and devouring their collections. Stigma and #climatechange have fueled their spread
    These molds—called #xerophiles—can survive in dry, hostile environments such as volcano calderas and scorching deserts, and to the chagrin of curators across the world, they seem to have developed a taste for cultural heritage.

  6. #Extremophile #fish of the #Poeciliidae have specific adaptations to live in geothermally heated sulfur-containing waters, e.g. the species Poecilia sulphuraria and Gambusia eurystoma in Baños del Azufre, #Mexico. Adaptations are to deal with toxic effects of #sulfur and #temperature limits above 40°C.

  7. Mitternachtsinspiration:

    Refrain: "Das ist die Ode an das Leben, das in jede Nische drängt, das ist die Ode an das Leben, das hier keine Grenzen kennt!"

    #Archaebakterien, #Eukarioten, #Viren etc. will ich besingen. #Extremophile. Die #Bakterien im Gestein. Alles, was auch das #Anthropozän überleben wird.

    Suche noch Inspiration für das Musikvideo, dann. Es wird grauslich werden. Plüsch-Bazillen-Performance? Da kennt sich doch @Fischblog aus?

  8. Extremophile bacteria can offer genetic alternatives useful for a variety of applications.

    For example, cold tolerant bacteria (psychrophiles) can be used in food production and medicine stability, because they remain active at temperatures that would freeze other bacteria.

    Scientists from Uruguay and Brazil have developed a metagenomic screen model for Antarctic Pseudomonas species for use in biotechnology.

    Dans le roman Stalker, y'a les aliens qui viennent, font des trucs dans leur coin et repartent en laissant des artefacts derrière eux, et y'a un scientifique qui dit qu'en fait ils ont fait comme nous quand on s'arrête croquer un morceau sur le bord de la route et qu'on dérange une colonie de fourmis avec nos déchets. #extrémophile
