#MicrobiologyMonday: Many bacterial species contain specialized subcellular compartments that help organize and protect essential cellular functions. These structures may contribute to pathogen survival and virulence during infection. #mBio: https://t.co/j4Z8Ferxkt

In the environment, bacteria sense aromatic pollutants, move to them, adapt to toxicity, and use specialized uptake and catabolic systems. Genomic plasticity, metabolic versatility & division of labor within populations aid to remove persistent chemicals. https://t.co/JtfoqTK87d

Adapting Bacteria for Better Bioremediation. Evolving Dehalobacter on mixed substrates boosts 1,1-DCA dechlorination. Key mutations in TmrA enhance binding to xenobiotic pollutants, a new path to engineer more efficient cleanup microbes. Read Ren et al https://t.co/68e7U7r5hc

Better Biosensors: Engineering Geobacter biofilms via cGAMP signaling enhances electron transfer, creating thinner, more conductive films. Result: a 20× improvement in Cd(II) detection sensitivity, hence advancing bioenergy and biosensing tech. https://t.co/Ezmb6MEGE8

PET waste is tough to recycle, but Barriuso’s group upcycled it into biodegradable PHAs using a hybrid approach: fast glycolysis + engineered microbial consortium. By splitting tasks between microbes, they boost efficiency and valorize plastic waste. Read https://t.co/hFPKb0kX74

The time has come to move SYNBIO microbes outside the lab/fermentor & recognize them as allies to repair the env damage we have inflicted on the planet. Achieving this at a truly global scale demands fresh views beyond the very limited Western mindset of control and containment

Bacteria have been fighting off viruses using a huge arsenal of molecular weaponry that scientists did not know about — until now. Researchers have identified proteins that could lead to virus-fighting drugs and technologies.
