Brasil de Fato [Unofficial]Anvisa anuncia recolhimento voluntário de lote da água Crystal sem gás
Colin PurringtonJust a reminder that Mosquito Dunks are sold in 20-packs for approximately $26. More economical than the 6-packs, which are usually in the $8-15 range. And definitely avoid the 2-packs. These things can last for years on the shelf as long as they are kept out of sunlight and high temperatures. #MosquitoDunks #bti #bacteria #mosquitoes

American NaturalistBacteria already killed by a host's immune response make it harder to handle those still alive. The same phenomenon might also help in tuning the immune response and decreasing the costs of the pathogen.

Olly 👾How the classic Computer Game Doom became a Tool for Science.
Lauren 'Ren' Ramlan, a biological engineer at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology in Cambridge, has integrated the game into her research.
⁉️In 2023, during the first year of her doctoral programme, she used Escherichia coli bacteria to display a few frames of Doom. She attached a fluorescent protein to the bacterial cells that could be turned on or off, making them act like black and white pixels on a screen. She then translated and compressed the first few frames of Doom into black-and-white versions that matched the plate growing the cells.⁉️

Nate GaylinnI've got a quick question for the friendly microbiologists of Mastodon.
It's my understanding that it's common for some environmental change to wipe out 90+% of a bacterial colony, only to have the survivors quickly multiply back to their original numbers, this time with a mutation that grants resistance to whatever the threat was.
Is there a name for this phenomenon (not "gene fixation," but the die back and recovery)? Are there canonical papers about it?
EDIT: I think "population bottleneck" is the best way to describe what I mean, though I got a few other very good suggestions for related terms.
Thanks everyone! You guys are the best. ❤️
