Did you know flushing a toilet can send tiny airborne particles into the air?
Some may carry pathogens that can be inhaled. 😳

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.

🧬 Thiomargarita magnifica: the first bacterium visible to the naked eye
In the mangroves of Guadeloupe, thin white strands cling to decaying leaves. They look like fungi or tiny worms — but each strand is a single bacterial cell, reaching up to 2 centimeters long. That makes it 5,000 times larger than a typical bacterium, and the first one you can see without a microscope.
Standard biology says bacteria must be microscopic because they rely on simple diffusion to move nutrients around. Thiomargarita bypasses this with a massive central vacuole that fills 65-80% of its volume, pushing the active cytoplasm into a paper-thin layer along the cell wall. It also packs its DNA into thousands of membrane-bound compartments called "pepins" — effectively primitive nuclei that blur the line between simple bacterial cells and complex eukaryotes. A single cell can carry over 500,000 copies of its own genome.

In pathogen control, the "Swiss Cheese Model" of multiple barriers is the gold standard. No single intervention is perfect; success lies in the cumulative effect of the cascade. #EnvironmentalEngineering #PublicHealth #QMRA. These topics and more are covered in my new book, "Environmental Engineering for Pathogen Control". lPre-order via Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/Environmental-Engineering-Pathogen-Control-Charles/dp/1394253389

Hello, old friend 🥰🦠
(This is a species of Enterobacter that degrades a wood preservative called IPBC. I isolated it myself, and it was the main thing I did my PhD on. It’s been sat in glycerol at -80°C for most of the last 20 years. I need it for a practical this week, so revived a bit on Tuesday. The smell takes me right back - it’s not exactly pleasant, but far nicer than E. coli!)

Capturing #CO2 with electricity: A microbial enzyme inspires electrochemistry!
Scientists from our Microbial Metabolism Group & the Univ. of Radboud and Geneva isolated a microbial enzyme & branched it on an electrode to efficiently and unidirectionally convert CO2 to formate.
