From predicted bacteriocins to ecological function.

Bacteriocin genes reveal potential but not function. This review maps four kinds of "silence" & urges function‑first ecological testing.

#funFact In a typical adult human body there around 10 trillion cells, counting all the types. In the human gut alone there are usually around 100 trillion bacteria. As microbiologist Margaret McFall-Ngai puts it, “plants and animals are a patina on the microbial world.”
From “the Strange Order of Things”, by Antonio Damasio.
“I Contain Multitudes”, by @edyong209 is another excellent foray into this rabbit hole.

Identification of PfSR1-MT as #melatonin -responsive GPCR-like candidate from the human #malaria parasite #Plasmodium falciparum.

Melatonin activates PfSR1‑MT, a parasite GPCR‑like receptor, enabling selective antimalarial targeting.

Plant roots possess the ability to alter their structural anatomy and metabolic processes in response to microbial colonization. This structural plasticity allows plants to adapt to environments with scarce nutrients by creating microhabitats that optimize beneficial interactions with soil microbiota.

Oral microbiology (Microbiology 🦠)

Oral microbiology is the study of the microorganisms of the oral cavity and their interactions between oral microorganisms or with the host. The environment present in the human mouth is suited to the growth of characteristic microorganisms found there. It provides a source of water and nutrients, as well as a moderate temperature.

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.

The #microbes appeared to be actively growing inside fog droplets and could break down formaldehyde much faster than previously observed in #cloud #water, suggesting fog acts as both a habitat and a natural air filter.
