Call-out to fellow #microbiologists.
Retooting to skeet from Bluesky for greater reach.
“ what are y'all using for biofilm quantification on a surface? We've been doing crystal violet bc that's what I've always done, but I'm looking at safranin staining. I swear there were papers on staining the sugars and proteins in biofilms, but I'm not finding them. TIA! 🧫🧪🦠”

In the Company of Bacteria: Amoebae https://schaechter.asmblog.org/schaechter/2022/10/in-the-company-of-bacteria-amoebae.html #Biology #Microbiology #Microbes #SciComm
At least 35 bacterial species are known for non‑predatory interactions with #Acanthamoeba #protists. These #bacteria do not simply serve the #amoebae as food but have been found either as intracellular commensals, or as mutualists, or as #pathogens. Medical #microbiologists will spot some of the usual suspects in the list.
