Happy to share our new paper "Wet-dry cycles protect surface-colonizing bacteria from major antibiotic classes" just published at @ISMEJournal.

Congrats Yana @MagenYana and Maor @maorroam !
N Kashtan - one example where microscopic wetness present => plant leaves
glass bottom multiwell plate to follow dryness on Pseudomonas fluorescens and P. putida => aggregates and pellicles retain water => microdroptlets
see their @eLife

New paper of the lab! We observed high survival of the enveloped #bacteriophage#Phi6 (a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2) in evaporated #saliva#microdroplets. Which saliva components protect the virus is yet to be discovered. @SciReports https://t.co/ONfDXfd3hm
Interestingly, human saliva microdroplets evaporate much quicker than pure water or SM buffer. Saliva droplets of tens of microns in diameter evaporate within minutes under room relative humidity, while SM buffer remains partly hydrated for hours
A new preprint is out! We found that bacteria can tolerate high concentrations of beta-lactam antibiotics for prolonged time under microscopic surface wetness - a commonly occurring hydration state in soil, on plant leaves and roots, and on indoor surfaces.https://t.co/WeqfklKMSv
New paper from our lab just published in The ISME Journal: "Two-way microscale interactions between immigrant bacteria and plant leaf microbiota as revealed by live imaging". https://t.co/jZgm0g441b.
@feeder_happier@RackMada אני חושב שקשה לשים גבול כזה. קראתי שלכמות הראשונית של נגיפים יכולה להיות השפעה גם על חומרת המחלה - אם המספר נמוך יש סיכוי טוב יותר שהמערכת החיסונית תתגבר עליה בשלב מוקדם.
New video! If the answer here does not blow your mind, I don't know what will. In short, how does this number of collisions grow as you increase the mass ratio? E.g., what is it for 1 trillion to 1?
