  1. 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.

  2. #Bacteroides acidifaciens enriched by KRAS mutation promotes #colorectal tumorigenesis.

    KRAS‑mutant #colorectalcancer selects B. acidifaciens, whose SusF stabilizes ARHGEF2 to amplify KRAS–ERK signaling and drive tumorigenesis.

  7. 🏺 From Korean kimchi to Andean chicha, fermentation weaves an invisible thread through human civilization.
    For millennia, we have partnered with microbes to transform simple ingredients into cultural treasures. Each bubble tells a story; each tang preserves tradition.

  9. Xenobot (Microbiology 🦠)

    Xenobots, named after the clawed frog, are synthetic lifeforms that are designed by computers to perform some desired function and built by combining together different biological tissues. There is debate among scientists whether xenobots are robots, organisms, or something else entirely.

  10. During her work at Rutgers University microbiologist Elizabeth Bugie (1920-2001) was involved in the discovery of streptomycin, the first antibiotic effective against tuberculosis. While her boss received the Nobel Prize for this discovery, she wasn’t mentioned. Honouring her work on the discovery and evaluation of antibiotics, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces bugieae (DSM 41528) after her.

  11. Fanny Hesse (1850-1934) worked unpaid for her husband Walter Hesse in Robert Koch's laboratory. Koch was desperate to find a suitable medium for growing bacterial cultures. Fanny Hesse came up with the idea of using agar, which proved to be an ideal gelling agent. To honour her for introducing agar and revolutionising microbiology, DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces hesseae (DSM 40473) after her.

  14. we fully agree with this tweet by @ArianeBriegel :

    °So proud of @VeroniqueO5
    ! Her paper on Reversible bacteriophage resistance by shedding the bacterial cell wall is among the top 5 cited articles in Open Biology in 2022!"
