#AAAAAAAAARRRRGHHHH!

Call-out to fellow #microbiologists.

Retooting to skeet from Bluesky for greater reach.

“ what are y'all using for biofilm quantification on a surface? We've been doing crystal violet bc that's what I've always done, but I'm looking at safranin staining. I swear there were papers on staining the sugars and proteins in biofilms, but I'm not finding them. TIA! 🧫🧪🦠”

Researchers investigate how freshwater diatoms stay in the light https://phys.org/news/2024-03-freshwater-diatoms-stay.html

Declines in ice cover are accompanied by light limitation responses and community change in freshwater #diatoms: Brittany Zepernick et al. https://academic.oup.com/ismej/article/18/1/wrad015/7513090

"a curious discovery in #LakeErie circa 2012 led #microbiologists to study an unseasonal display of winter abundance. #Blooms of diatoms—microscopic, photosynthetic #algae—were alive and well beneath (and within) the lake's ice cover."

Review examines #machine_learning concepts for #microbiologists.
