Based on intestinal microbial composition, a machine learning model predicts w up to 80% certainty the risk of developing non-alcoholic fatty liver disease - a disease that impacts up to 25% of the global population.

Burkholderia pseudomallei causes life threatening infections, biosynthetic enzyme BurG makes the bacterium more virulent. Inhibiting BurG could lessen the danger of Burkholderia @Hertweck_Lab @KriesLab

@LeibnizHKI ๐๐ฆ๐ณ๐ข๐ฏ๐ข ๐ค๐ข๐ฆ๐ณ๐ถ๐ญ๐ฆ๐ข is a bark fungus characterized by its cobalt blue colour. Research showed that the gene responsible for the pigment formation is only active under the influence of light translated into mRNA.

@LeibnizHKI Individually, the bacterial ๐๐ด๐ฆ๐ถ๐ฅ๐ฐ๐ฎ๐ฐ๐ฏ๐ข๐ด and ๐๐ข๐ฆ๐ฏ๐ช๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ด species are eaten by amoebae. But together they are able to defend themselves by producing a substance that is toxic to amoebae. @PStallforth

The bacterium Candidatus Mycoavidus necroximicus lives inside the hyphae of the fungus Mortierella verticillate, protecting it against nematodes. New possibilities for nature-friendly agriculture?

@LeibnizHKI ๐๐ข๐ค๐ต๐ฐ๐ฃ๐ข๐ค๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ด ๐ณ๐ฉ๐ข๐ฎ๐ฏ๐ฐ๐ด๐ถ๐ด colonisation antagonizes ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข ๐ข๐ญ๐ฃ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ด. The intestinal cells nourish lactic acid bacteria, which multiply and take nutrients away from Candida.

@LeibnizHKI ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข ๐ข๐ญ๐ฃ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ด changes its morphological appearance between yeast form and filamentous forms due to environmental conditions. This morphologic plasticity is a core #virulence factor.

Many compounds that are produced by microorganisms can cause illnesses or intoxications, others are capable of curing diseases. We investigate disease-causing and curing substances and try to produce new therapeutics. 9/24 #MicrobialAdventCalendar

@LeibnizHKI The first discovered toxin of ๐๐ข๐ฏ๐ฅ๐ช๐ฅ๐ข ๐ข๐ญ๐ฃ๐ช๐ค๐ข๐ฏ๐ด is candidalysin. It damages the host cell by forming holes in their membranes.

Another focus at Leibniz-HKI is Candida albicans, literally translated: โwhite yeastโ.
It belongs to the same taxon as the bakerโs yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae. C. albicans exists in 70% of humans, most of the time without effect on the host. 7/24 #MicrobialAdventCalendar
@LeibnizHKI Make your own bakerโs #yeast
for your tasty Christmas feast.
Using ingredients that number only three,
A popular partygoer you will be!
500 ml of water
2 dried and unsulphured plums or dates
1 tablespoon of sugar

@LeibnizHKI A chip-based infection model enables live observation of damage to lung tissue caused by the invasive fungal infection #aspergillosis. An algorithm tracks the spread of fungal hyphae and the response of immune cells. 5/24 #MicrobialAdventCalendar

@microverse_exc A particular genetic group within the species ๐. ๐ง๐ถ๐ฎ๐ช๐จ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด is more likely to cause infections in humans. That could lead to new targets for drugs against #aspergillosis. 4/24 #MicrobialAdventCalendar

@microverse_exc ๐๐ด๐ฑ๐ฆ๐ณ๐จ๐ช๐ญ๐ญ๐ถ๐ด ๐ง๐ถ๐ฎ๐ช๐จ๐ข๐ต๐ถ๐ด uses camouflage to protect itself from being eaten: A layer of the pigment melanin on fungal conidia (spores) makes it difficult for macrophages to detect them.

@LeibnizHKI There are four types of aspergillosis: invasive, chronic, saprophytic and allergic. The main pathogen is Aspergillus fumigatus, one of fifty Aspergillus species that are potentially harmful to humans. 2/24 #MicrobialAdventCalendar
The fungus Aspergillus fumigatus is one of the most common organisms on earth. It can withstand temperatures of up to 48ยฐC and can cause the dangerous infection #aspergillosis. Our aim is to understand the fungus and infection to improve treatment.

๐ฆ Christmas time is upon us and we want to help you count the days with our #MicrobialAdventCalendar๐ฆ
Each day we will present you with an interesting fact or finding all around the wide microbial world of the Leibniz-HKI and the @microverse_exc. Donโt miss a day till Christmas!
I brought my #MicrobialAdventCalendar to work to remind me of all the non-Covid things in micro. Best decision all week ๐
I really wanted to redo a #MicrobialAdventCalendar this year but it doesn't look like I will have the time. You might still have some bacteria vectors though...
HIV was the final microbe in my #MicrobialAdventCalendar but hereโs the calendar with every date flipped. Hope you enjoyed! Happy holidays!
