Bacteria growing within an aligned liquid crystal fluid—environments mimicking specific biological settings like biofilm matrices or mucus linings—organize into single-cell-wide chains that gradually lengthen before experiencing localized buckling, ultimately forming a tangled, serpentine network.

Bacteriophages are the most abundant and diverse viral entities on Earth, functioning as microscopic apex predators that exist exclusively to infect, replicate within, and ultimately lyse bacterial populations.

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.

"The number of viruses that we found is absolutely wild. We found many viruses that we know very little about and many others that we have never seen before. It's amazing how much untapped biodiversity is all around us. And you don't even have to go far to find it; it's right under our noses," said Dr Erica M. Hartmann.
