On Wednesday I spent the morning at the Career Fair for #WestJesmondPrimarySchool pupils Y4-Y6 talking about #bacteria #AMR #proteins. Great questions and very inquisitive minds, a true privilege! #MicroSky 🧪

🦠 In the seas as in the human gut, #bacteria use the same survival toolkit: Conserved #glycan-utilization strategies shape #Akkermansiaceae success🔬

Marine and gut Akkermansiaceae share conserved glycan uptake. Ecological transitions may reflect substrate specialization on an inherited framework.

This! It’s one of my pet peeves because it just shows people don’t really understand what the Gram-positive/negative classification means. Having said that, I think we should move to mono and diderm, away from the oversimplified Gram staining classification. #MicroSky

Niche #microsky question: if you have a Cerillo microplate reader in a shaker, how reliable is it? Do you have issues with OD reading stability? Would you recommend if there are issues with false high OD due to aggregation? Pls share! Thanks!

At the #SalgadoLab festive lunch, @[email protected] gave us a nice challenge: "what are you looking forward in 2026?" From conferences, new papers, new funding 🤞, we all realised there's lots to be excited about! So, #sciencesky #microsky what are you looking forward in the New Year? 🧪

Great work, beautiful structures and really interesting new insights into #Cdiff toxin inhibition. Congratulations to all! #microsky

Instead of flashcards, we Rube Goldberg’d this with #Bioconductor ! Analyzed 3,280 E. coli genomes from NCBI, detecting ESBL genes in 84.4% of samples. CTX-M-15 was most common. Helped us understand gene nomenclature and sequence analysis! 📊🔬

Watching the flagellar motor at work
by Lucas Le Nagard — Swimming E. coli typically cover a distance equivalent to the radius of a human hair each second. It might not seem very impressive… But for a 2 µm bacterium, it corresponds to 10 body lengths per second! Much better than the swimming speed of our best athletes, which barely exceeds one body length per second. So, how does E. coli achieve this?

Hey team #meal-ioidosis #idsky #microsky we're in 3rd place overall! If you haven't kicked in, you have until tomorrow to donate at hcwvshunger.org. "Healthcare workers" can be broadly defined, so micro/epi people feel free to join--there's even a group for science writers (team #EatOurWords).

Rosette is a rosette is a... (1|3)
by Christoph — I dare say that every biologist was blown away when they, a decade ago or so, first saw pictures of spherical rosettes that choanoflagellates can and readily do form. Is this emergent multicellularity? Skilled microscopists had long been aware of such "rosettes" among (some) bacteria, but they never made it into the canon of bacterial shapes as they only form under certain growth conditions.
