🐛 Mixotricha paradoxa — the protist that swims using 250,000 living bacteria as outboard motors
When first described in 1933, Mixotricha paradoxa appeared to swim using thousands of hair-like cilia. Electron microscopy in the 1960s revealed the truth: those "cilia" were actually ~250,000 individual spirochete bacteria anchored to its outer membrane, beating in synchrony to propel the host cell.
This single-celled organism lives exclusively in the hindgut of Australia's primitive giant termite (Mastotermes darwiniensis). It has no mitochondria and no independent mobility — its four flagella act only as rudders, while the bacterial swarm does all the work. Evolutionary biologist Lynn Margulis called it "the beast with five genomes" because it is a composite of host, two species of propulsion spirochetes, surface rod bacteria, and internal wood-digesting endosymbionts.
Mixotricha dies within minutes of oxygen exposure and has never been cultured in a lab. It is considered a living snapshot of symbiogenesis — the theory that complex eukaryotic cells arose when ancient prokaryotes merged into single functioning entities, frozen mid-transition.

Welcome to September everyone
As the new academic year approaches I wanted to take a moment to plug my book in order to raise awareness it exists
If you or any of those you mentor/supervise/teach are entering a phase where they are thinking about further study, or if you have any new PhD students starting, I wrote this book to try and help
It takes you all the way through from deciding where to study, to how to improve your confidence around outreach and public speaking. Even if you aren't aiming for a PhD I hope it might offer some tips and guidance you'll find useful
There are a lot of 'how to' books out there, but I wanted to start with why, and move on from there

Researchers have discovered that metabolites produced by a specific gut bacterium can significantly enhance the body's immune response to cancer. The bacterium Bacteroides uniformis converts the amino acid tryptophan into indoles, which subsequently suppress tumor growth and boost anti-tumor immunity.
