Ebola outbreak in DRC has peaked, say authorities, as infection rates slow
By Prosper Heri Ngorora in Goma

Almost 3,500 people have died in outbreak and experts say more must be done to ensure Bundibugyo is under control

What exactly is mold? It's a fungus that decided to become infrastructure. Also kind of a stomach?

From predicted bacteriocins to ecological function.

Bacteriocin genes reveal potential but not function. This review maps four kinds of "silence" & urges function‑first ecological testing.

#funFact In a typical adult human body there around 10 trillion cells, counting all the types. In the human gut alone there are usually around 100 trillion bacteria. As microbiologist Margaret McFall-Ngai puts it, “plants and animals are a patina on the microbial world.”
From “the Strange Order of Things”, by Antonio Damasio.
“I Contain Multitudes”, by @edyong209 is another excellent foray into this rabbit hole.

Identification of PfSR1-MT as #melatonin -responsive GPCR-like candidate from the human #malaria parasite #Plasmodium falciparum.

Melatonin activates PfSR1‑MT, a parasite GPCR‑like receptor, enabling selective antimalarial targeting.

Plant roots possess the ability to alter their structural anatomy and metabolic processes in response to microbial colonization. This structural plasticity allows plants to adapt to environments with scarce nutrients by creating microhabitats that optimize beneficial interactions with soil microbiota.

💁🏻‍♀️ ICYMI: 🔬🌸 Japanese #nature photographer Pendora (ぺんどら) captures tiny globular #springtails measuring around 0.3 mm in length.

These wetland micro-arthropods display face-to-face courtship interactions and use a spring-loaded tail organ called a furcula to execute high-speed jumps that look like #teleportation.

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.

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.
