Zebrafish, Danio rerio, Skin Mucus Harbors a Distinct Bacterial Community Dominated by Actinobacteria
Introduction Life in an aquatic environment involves continual interactions between the surface of the aquatic species and the extensive array of microbes that exist in the surrounding water. The skin is the outermost layer of the body and provides a unique innate defense in animals.
Comparative genomics of the <i>Erwinia</i> and <i>Enterobacter</i> olive fly endosymbionts
Paired end Illumina sequencing data were generated for Enterobacter sp. OLF from genomic DNA that was extracted from a pure culture of a single isolate. Er. dacicola is not currently culturable on standard media, including media on which plant pathogenic relatives, such as Erwinia amylovora, can be cultured4,10. However, esophageal bulbs are dominated by Er. dacicola10.
Put a Microscope in the Hands of Everyone! Foldscope launches Kickstarter! |
Want to visit another world full of bizarre and beautiful creatures like you’ve never before imagined? Such a hidden world surrounds you wherever you are – the microscopic world. What? Don’t you have a microscope? Foldscope, a new Kickstarter project, aims to change that. Foldscope is a microscope made out of folded paper, a lens the size of a pinhead, and a piece of plastic to serve as a coverslip over a paper “slide”.
5 Thoughts for Improving Science Education from ASMCUE2016
PhD programs in science rarely include training in how to teach, much less teach effectively or write exams. Mine was no exception. Aside from a couple of workshops I sought out, my teaching “training” came from having great teachers myself. Thankfully, I’ve had a number to learn from. I also get bored easily and love to think up creative ways to get challenging ideas across to people.
Bacterial Farts - Whoopie!
Of all the bacterial communities in and on humans, we know the most about the digestive system bacteria. These microbes are extremely important for proper digestion of plant fibers, synthesizing vitamins, short-chain fatty acids, protecting our gut lining, breaking down medicines, and many other properties we are still learning about.
Who is in the operating room during c-section deliveries?
Infants born via c-section have a microbiome community composed mostly of skin bacteria [1-3], but the source of these skin bacteria is unknown. People quickly shed bacteria into their environment, leaving their own bacterial signature in a room within hours [4]. Do hospital operating rooms harbor skin bacteria that could colonize c-section delivered infants? A study published earlier this week by Shin et al. in Microbiome addresses this question.
