  1. 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.

  8. Flushing the toilet can release a ‘plume’ of breathable pathogens – and closing the lid won’t stop their escape
    By Tory Shepherd

    New research shows turbulent flushes create toilet-generated aerosols that can transmit legionella, influenza and norovirus

  12. I really enjoyed revisiting my favorite organism from grad school for the next "Meet a Microbe" on my blog.

    Meet Helicobacter pylori, a bacterium that can be found in the stomach of half the world's population. It's considered a carcinogen, but only causes cancer in a small fraction of people infected.

  20. Is Life Just Different?

    Eduardo Ramón for Quanta Magazine In 1993, a team led by the planetary scientist Carl Sagan tentatively concluded that there is life on Earth. Not much of a deduction, you might think except that the researchers confined their evidence to observations made by the Galileo spacecraft(opens a new tab), which had flown past our planet three years earlier on a looping journey to Jupiter. So great is the transformative power of life that its presence can be detected just from the light and radio […]

  21. 💁🏻‍♀️ TIL: 🩸🧊 Iron rich #saltwater trapped beneath Taylor #Glacier for over a million years seeps out in red pulses that look like bleeding.

    A 2026 study from #Louisiana State University caught an outflow in action using #GPS, #cameras, and temperature #sensors. #Sulfate breathing #bacteria thrive in the dark brine, making Blood Falls a model for life on icy worlds.

  25. Salinella salve es un animal multicelular descrito por Johannes Frenzel en los salares en torno al río Cuarto, en la provincia argentina de Córdoba, en 1892. Desde entonces no se ha vuelto ha encontrar, por lo que se duda de su existencia. #microbiologia #microbiology

  26. Los rotíferos bdeloideos tienen en su corona dos discos trocales cubiertos de cilios con los que crean una corriente para alimentarse. 📷zimmwisdom #microbiologia #microbiology

  27. La unión hace la fuerza. Cuando no dispone de bacterias de las que alimentarse, la ameba social (Dictyostelium) se agrega a otras y se mueve al unísono. #microbiologia #microbiology

  28. Metallogenium personatum es una bacteria que forma minerales de óxido de manganeso con forma de estrella. 📷Dag Klaveness #microbiologia #microbiology

  29. El paracariota de Myojin (Parakaryon myojinensis) es un organismo unicelular con rasgos tanto de eucariotas como de procariotas, pero a su vez con grandes diferencias con ambos. Se recogió en las cerdas de los poliquetos polinoidos de las fuentes hidrotermales de la loma Myōjin. 📷Tadashi Maruyama #microbiologia #microbiology

  30. El Trichoplax adhaerens es un placozoo, es decir, un animal acuático formado por una capa de células envueltas en un moco que, como los seres más simples, se alimentan por fagocitosis, se mueven con cilios y se reproducen sexualmente o asexualmente por gemación o división. 📷Bernd Schierwater #microbiologia #microbiology

  31. El Myxococcus llanfair­pwll­gwyn­gyll­go­gery­chwyrn­drobwll­llan­tysilio­gogo­gochensis es una mixobacteria gramnegativa del suelo, donde forma cuerpos fructíferos naranjas. Caza en grupos a otras bacterias, produciendo enzimas y toxinas que destruyen a sus presas. 📷James Chambers et al., 2020 #microbiologia #microbiology

  32. 💎🌡️ The Cueva de los Cristales is home to giant beams of selenite that grew over hundreds of thousands of years in extreme heat. Scientists recently found dormant #microbes trapped inside the #crystals that may provide clues about how life survives in the harshest environments on #Earth.
