WIP: This is magic! I'm walking around a bacteria cell in #AppleVisionPro!!!

It's an atomistic cell model (you can see atoms when I get close to something).

I just got this prototype working in @CellWalkApp's renderer.

New Preprint!!
In this work, microfluidic channels that mimick sediment obstacles were used to study the swimming of magnetotactic bacteria in near-realistic environment.

We have a PhD project starting October to study metal ion incorporation into coccoliths materials and are looking for motivated candidates 🔍 See the following link for more information and please share within your networks. Thank you 🙏

Enthesis is the interface between tendon and bone🦴. It can't be healed if it ruptures.

Meet Tilman Grünewald, from @InstitutFresnel and @ERC_Research grantee, who uses the ESRF to study enthesis' nanostructure to find ways to fix it.

After our ID16B beamtime @esrfsynchrotron, safe to say we walk away with amazing images and data! Shown here is one bacteria tree on agarose (S - green🌱, P - red 🍒, Zn - blue🪵) #bacteria #colony #metals

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

We are at ID16B @esrfsynchrotron X-ray measuring metal accumulation in micron-sized bacterial trees 🦠 🌴 Interesting results to come!

We're pleased to share our latest study on characterizing the magnetic properties and motility of a magnetotactic holobiont. Through a highly collaborative effort, we examined these specimens from micro to nano, using advanced imagery and calculations🧲🦠🔬https://t.co/oYZTLeAHaj

Last Friday was European Researcher Night in Marseille. @dan_chevrier shared his research on biominerals and coccolithophores to the curious science goers 👨‍🔬👩‍🔬🔭🔬🧪🧫 What a great event! #EU #Research #Outreach

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

MEMbers were fortunate to participate in the development of an open-source (via GitHub) automated optical density meter with controllable x, y and z magnetic fields. What a great tool for MTB! Thank you @LeonAbelmann and coworkers! #magnets #bacteria

MTB2022 comes to a close. Many thanks to the host and organizing group from Bayreuth University! It was stimulating, engaging and enjoyable for all. #bacteria #magnets #research #bayreuth

[Magteria UPV/EHU @MagteriaUPV]

We are excited to announce that we will be hosting #MTB2024 in Bilbao 🥳 Can't wait to see you all there!

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

Great first day at MTB2022 in Bayreuth! Dr. Sandra Prévéral and Dr. Emilie Gachon presented their respective work on MTB biosensors and magneto-aerotaxis. #Magnet #research #biam

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

New paper now available in Advanced Science on an unexpected biomineralization of copper sulfide in a magnetotactic bacteria (BW-1) that occurs in the periplasm. Congrats to Dr. Yeseul Park and co-authors!

@zarivach @dan_chevrier @LsBgu @BenGurionUni With pleasure, Raz !

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

Memorable talks and exchanges at the GRC Biomineralization in Castelldefels, Spain! Daniel Chevrier is sharing his work on magnetotactic bacteria and magnetite formation @dan_chevrier

[MEM team @MicroBioMin]

New research fresh off the press!
Investigating MTB under spatial confinement and external magnetic fields to understand how these steerable magnetic microswimmers can be controlled in micro-environments

Congratulations Dr. Yeseul Park, who defended her PhD! 10 years after its discovery and cultivation by @CTLefevre, Yeseul revealed an interesting case of copper sulfide #biomineralization in the Desulfamplus magnetovallimortis BW-1 periplasm.
