Uncovering the hidden bacteria often mistaken for cholera Scientists have created a genomic blueprint for Aeromonas bacteria, which can cause antibiotic-resistant diarrheal disease—with symptoms often misidentified as cholera—in humans and animals.

The symbiosis between #bacteria & #viruses is the only essential foundation for all other life on Earth. How much do we know about bacteria?

"This means that the fraction of microbial diversity that we have sampled to date is effectively zero, a nice abstract entity to end on."

#Zero #Extinction

The role of microbial signals in plant growth and development Plant growth and development involves a tight coordination of the spatial and temporal organization of cell division, cell expansion and cell differentiation. Orchestration of these events requires the exchange of signaling molecules between the ...

Fresh #peas germinate faster & better than dried #seeds due to their protection (hulls or fruits). But they need to be fully matured on the vine to be highly effective. Farmers & gardeners use dried seeds. The "skin microbiome" gets damaged when touched. Skin #bacteria signal plants where 👆 or 👇 is.

#Soil is a bacterial digestive byproduct. Oxygen is a bacterial waste product (via chloroplasts). #bacteria are the only primary primary producers on Earth. Plant & animal cells have evolved around #bacteria to serve them. Seeds carry all the bacteria in- & outside that fix #nitrogen & produce soil.

Turning penicillin into a lethal force against bacteria again When many disease-causing bacteria encounter penicillin, they are not always destroyed right away, shifting into a temporary survival state called antibiotic tolerance. This state allows them to…

How bacteria suppress immune defenses in stubborn wound infections Researchers have revealed how a common bacterium, Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis), releases lactic acid to acidify its surroundings and suppress the immune-cell signal needed to start a proper…

Antibiotics leave a lasting mark on the gut microbiome New research shows that even a single course of treatment left traces in the bacterial composition, with certain types of antibiotics having a greater impact

#Antibiotics can affect the composition of the community of #bacteria living in the gut, known as the gut #microbiome, for as long as four to eight years after treatment, a new study led by @tovefall.bsky.social and Gabriel Baldanzi from 🇸🇪 @uu.se shows.

Bacteria have a secret engineering trick to keep themselves in shape Blow up a long balloon and two things happen: it gets longer and it gets wider. Now imagine a living cell that inflates itself under enormous pressure and yet only grows longer, never adding width.…

#Plants and #animals evolved "around" #bacteria. Both are mainly regulated by bacteria and depend on bacteria signalling.

Random example: E.Coli in our gut produces essential vitamin K and B6 for us.

Some #Insects pollinate some plants. When insects eat, #bacteria enter their bodies. But there is something else insects do. Insects poop 💩 Bacteria then exit. Since there is (was!) much more insect biomass than mammal or bird biomass, insects are/were essential transport technologies 🚌 🛩️ for 🦠.

Life isn't a collection of species, but a self-regulating Bacteriostat. Primary production is #primary

Oxygen is a bacterial waste product (via chloroplasts). Soil is a bacterial digestive byproduct. Plants (factories) and animals (transport) ensure #bacteria survival from the sea to the mountains.

The plant's DNA is essentially a regulatory framework that takes over once the #bacteria have confirmed that the environment is hospitable. If the bacteria don't "wake up," the #seed stays a stone.

When a #seed is dormant, it is essentially a time capsule. The seed #microbiome (endophytes) is often the first thing to react to the environment. In the context of a seed "sensing" its climate and deciding to sprout, #bacteria are the primary interface and provide the hormonal "start engine" signal

Stay or stray? Why some gut microbes persist after fecal transplants Scientists have identified why some gut microbes successfully stay in the gut after fecal transplants, while others are much more transient. The King's College London discovery could help make the…
