  1. But the surprises didn’t stop there! We also found #microorganisms and #parasites preserved in the fecal matrix:

    Bacilli bacteria 🦠 and Actinomycete biofilms
    Fungal hyphae and spores 🍄
    Cyanobacteria 🦠 (ingested from the water)
    Putative tapeworm eggs 🪱—direct evidence of parasitism in the Permian!

  11. We can consider three possible responses to the discovery of indigenous life on #Mars 🔴

    • Leave it alone
    • Alter Mars to enhance the chances of that biota to become a global scale biology
    • Collect samples for laboratory preservation, then replace or augment it with #terrestrial life forms

  16. #FYI #PaulBeckwith video lecture #phototrophy #photosynthesis #chlorophyll #retinal #ATP #plants #microorganisms #evolution #biology #biochemistry #science

    Paul & Newton introduce a highly interesting paper on how and why plants/microorganisms developed #energy production from #sunlight twice differently.

    (And yes, we also have rhodopsin in our eyes, we "see" with it. From the incoming light it produces electric signals for the brain.)

  21. Microbes may be invisible, but they underpin planetary and ecosystem health — and are increasingly threatened by climate change, pollution and land use change.

    A new IUCN specialist group aims to put microbes on the conservation agenda, including Red and Green Lists for at-risk species.
