#Microbe organizes its #DNA in a surprising way
Thiovulum imperiosus wraps its genetic material in membranous fingers, squishing it against periphery of cell, scientists reported December 6 at the Cell Bio meeting. It’s a never-before-seen approach that’s vastly different from nearly all other known #bacteria. Scientists think most bacteria store their DNA in a floating mass inside the cell’s interior, not packed neatly in specialized compartments.

Breakthrough in Alzheimer's research: Scientists transplanted gut bacteria from Alzheimer's patients into healthy rats → the rats developed memory issues + reduced new neuron growth in the hippocampus!
Key culprits? ↓ Coprococcus (good for healthy aging) and ↑ Desulfovibrio (linked to cognitive decline).
This proves a direct causal link via the gut-brain axis — huge potential for early diagnosis via stool tests & microbiome-based therapies! -

The #ocean’s most abundant #microbe is near its breaking point
Tiny ocean microbes called #Prochlorococcus, once thought to be #climate survivors, may struggle as seas warm. These #cyanobacteria drive 5% of Earth’s #photosynthesis and underpin much of the marine #food web. A decade of research shows they thrive only within a narrow #temperature range, and warming oceans could slash their #populations by up to 50% in tropical waters.

#Microbe with bizarrely tiny #genome may be evolving into a #virus
The newly discovered microbe provisionally known as #Sukunaarchaeum isn’t a virus. But like viruses, it seemingly has one purpose: to make more of itself. Most of Sukunaarchaeum’s mere 189 protein-coding genes are focused on replicating its own genome; it must steal everything else it needs from its host Citharistes regius, a dinoflagellate.

World-leading scientists have called for a halt on research to create “mirror life” microbes amid concerns that the synthetic organisms would present an “unprecedented risk” to life on Earth.

The #Roscoff Culture Collection 🇨🇵 of #marine #microorganisms 🌊 🦠 is seeking a #postdoc to work on ex situ microbiome interactions (EU projects #MICROBE and #BlueRemediomics 🇪🇺).
One objective is to define synthetic #microbiomes to promote the growth of selected #microeukaryotes (#microalgae, saprotrophs) and for optimal production of #metabolites of interest.

Today's #mushroom
I often take photos of mushrooms, and I think their shapes are very beautiful. However, rather than saying that I like mushrooms, I think it would be more accurate to say that mushrooms like me when describing my relationship with them.
Today, the forecast was for rain, so I had intended to refrain from going out, but the sky was unexpectedly light rain, and I was encouraged to go for a walk. So I found a mushroom on the side of the road.
Thinking that this was the case, I took a photo, and sure enough, then it started raining heavily as expected. They somehow influence my actions in that way. And perhaps yours.

Within three days ⏱️, the organism turned into a mat of complete protein, meaning it featured all nine essential amino acids needed for human nutrition. Each tray was the equivalent in protein to 25 chickens 🐓.
