😎 Have you thought about how sunscreen affect the thousands of bacteria on the skin? Maybe it is just me but with the summer sun just around the corner, I've been curious so I looked up some research studies on this.

In this comprehensive research report, we undertake an extensive examination of one of the most transformative biological discoveries of the modern scientific era. For centuries, the foundational dogma of terrestrial ecology was absolute: the sun was the ultimate and singular source of energy capable of sustaining complex life.

El Trichoplax adhaerens es un placozoo, es decir, un animal acuático formado por una capa de células envueltas en un moco que, como los seres más simples, se alimentan por fagocitosis, se mueven con cilios y se reproducen sexualmente o asexualmente por gemación o división. 📷Bernd Schierwater #microbiologia #microbiology

Fresh WIP piece of #Archaea #phylogenetics data for a collaborator.
Those barplot margins are driving me crazy - it's actually throwing off the immediate impression of the data! (pink bars are essentially all 1/2 or less of the orange bars, which is pretty important in context) I really need to buckle down and get to hand-coding my trees from scratch using #rlang or #julialang soon.
Hmm. How's Julia ecosystem for phylogenetic trees these days?

El dinoflagelado marino Citharistes regius puede contener al Sukunaarchaeum mirabile, la primera arquea parásita, que no tiene más remedio que depender de su huésped pues tan solo tiene genes para replicar, transcribir y traducir el ADN, necesarios para reproducirse, pero no para mantener su metabolismo. 📷Takura Nakayama et al., 2024 #microbiologia #microbiology

Actinomycete genomes are a rich source of unexplored phosphonate natural products. By mining 940 genome sequenced strains, researchers found 54 candidate producers and confirmed phosphonate production in 21 strains, including Kitasatospora fiedleri with a unique, LuxR regulated gene cluster. This strategy paves the way for new bioactive phosphonates with pharma and biotech potential.
