Dorgaldirs GardenNot everything in the bog garden is carnivorous — but this is just as fascinating! 🌿 The sphagnum moss (Sphagnum sp.) is sporulating, sending up hundreds of tiny sporophytes topped with ripe spore capsules. These delicate stalks are the moss's way of reproducing — once the capsules open, spores are released into the air to start new colonies. Sphagnum is the unsung hero of the bog garden: it keeps the substrate acidic and moist, creating the perfect conditions for carnivorous plants to thrive. But in this moment, it's stealing the show entirely.
Niet alles in de moerasbak is vleesetend — maar dit is even fascinerend! 🌿 Het veenmos (Sphagnum sp.) is aan het sporuleren en stuurt honderden kleine sporofyten omhoog, elk bekroond met een rijp sporenkapsel. Deze sierlijke steeltjes zijn de manier waarop het mos zich voortplant — zodra de kapsels opengaan, worden sporen de lucht in verspreid om nieuwe kolonies te starten. Veenmos is de stille held van de moerasbak: het houdt het substraat zuur en vochtig, en creëert zo de perfecte omstandigheden voor vleesetende planten. Maar op dit moment steelt het zelf de show.

Scientists discover protein key to bacteria's survival in extreme environments
Scientists have discovered a protein that enables bacteria to shut down into dormant spores under extreme conditions. The process, which enables the bacteria to become practically indestructible, explains why bacteria can survive in uninhabitable places such as under the permafrost, in the depths of the ocean or in outer space.
Prof Paula SalgadoGreat to be part of new paper from Monica & Adriano labs at ITQB-Nova on SpoIVB2 protease in #Cdiff #sporulation, its impact on SpoIIP activity (Charlotte Roughton, Salgado lab) and in vivo cleavage (Hailee, Joe Sorg lab). Congratulations everyone!
If you would like to join the #Salgadolab work on #Cdiff, #BugSlayers and #sporulation using a range of techniques from #structuralbiology, #biochemistry, #microbiology - get in touch! Happy to discuss and support applications!
2024 #MSCA Postdoctoral Fellowships call is open!

"a clear demonstration that research on sporulation in bacilli started way earlier than we thought 😉 "
