#Alcohol or #HydrogenPeroxide? When to Use
Both #rubbingalcohol and hydrogen #peroxide kill #germs, making them tempting to use on a cut or #wound. But with those germs, they’re also killing good #bacteria and irritating your #skin.

This Dangerous Superbug Can Consume Medical Plastics
“It means we need to reconsider how pathogens exist in the hospital environment,” said study leader Professor Ronan McCarthy of the Brunel University of London. “Plastics, including plastic surfaces, could potentially be food for these bacteria."

🔬 Bacteria fight and feast with the same tool
New #research from ETH Zurich and Eawag reveals that some Vibrio #bacteria don’t just kill competitors with their molecular “spear” - they also feed on them.

The Immune System Explained I – Bacteria Infection
For the love of Venom but it's just weird how these parasites are mostly alien and creepy and blood-thirsty. I assume it wouldn't attract enough viewers/readers otherwise but also gives a wrong idea of bacteria in general.

Some organisms are capable of atmospheric chemosynthesis, or capturing/using 0.5ppm atmospheric hydrogen to live.↙️
↘️ Basecamp Research's biodiscovery process found a new Antarctic bacterium species that metabolizes #hydrogen!
This new bacterium is among the over 1MM new species they discovered!
New bacterial genome announcement from our team:
Draft genome sequence of Desulfobacterota strain M19, a mesophilic sulfur-disproportionating bacterium from a deep-sea hydrothermal vent on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge https://journals.asm.org/doi/10.1128/mra.00295-25
This new bacterium was found on a #DeepSea hydrothermal vent, 1663m deep under the Atlantic ocean surface. It can grow by both "eating" and "breathing" a single chemical—pure elemental sulfur.

Micromonospora spp. are a prolific source of bioactive natural products.
This multi-omics study combines #genome mining and #metabolomics to explore the #biosynthetic potential of wild-type strains from extreme habitats.

The video these were made from sped up 4x. Anyone know what causes bacteria to aggregate in a line like this? Interesting to see the line heal after the ciliates disturb it. #bacteria #microscopy
🌊 ❄️ In the phenomenon of #marine snow, dead microorganisms gradually drift toward the seabed. However, natural #bacteria gels impede their descent.
This is detrimental for the #climate because it releases more #CO2 into the atmosphere.

"Despite resembling a lichen's vegetative tissue, their sample had an unexpected feature: it was made of interwoven cyanobacterial filaments that enclosed fungal hyphae. Both partners turned out to be previously undescribed species, different from those found in #lichens"
