  11. Antibiotic-resistant bacteria possess a critical vulnerability within their cell wall transport systems that, when disrupted, drastically reduces their resistance. This discovery reveals an evolutionary trade-off where the genetic mechanisms bacteria use to survive antibiotic exposure can simultaneously be exploited to make them susceptible to existing treatments.

  25. 🧬 Thiomargarita magnifica: the first bacterium visible to the naked eye

    In the mangroves of Guadeloupe, thin white strands cling to decaying leaves. They look like fungi or tiny worms — but each strand is a single bacterial cell, reaching up to 2 centimeters long. That makes it 5,000 times larger than a typical bacterium, and the first one you can see without a microscope.

    Standard biology says bacteria must be microscopic because they rely on simple diffusion to move nutrients around. Thiomargarita bypasses this with a massive central vacuole that fills 65-80% of its volume, pushing the active cytoplasm into a paper-thin layer along the cell wall. It also packs its DNA into thousands of membrane-bound compartments called "pepins" — effectively primitive nuclei that blur the line between simple bacterial cells and complex eukaryotes. A single cell can carry over 500,000 copies of its own genome.

  27. In pathogen control, the "Swiss Cheese Model" of multiple barriers is the gold standard. No single intervention is perfect; success lies in the cumulative effect of the cascade. #EnvironmentalEngineering #PublicHealth #QMRA.

  29. Hello, old friend 🥰🦠

    (This is a species of Enterobacter that degrades a wood preservative called IPBC. I isolated it myself, and it was the main thing I did my PhD on. It’s been sat in glycerol at -80°C for most of the last 20 years. I need it for a practical this week, so revived a bit on Tuesday. The smell takes me right back - it’s not exactly pleasant, but far nicer than E. coli!)

  30. Capturing #CO2 with electricity: A microbial enzyme inspires electrochemistry!

    Scientists from our Microbial Metabolism Group & the Univ. of Radboud and Geneva isolated a microbial enzyme & branched it on an electrode to efficiently and unidirectionally convert CO2 to formate.
    Out now @ "Angewandte Chemie Int. Ed."
