#Microber2022 30. Transfer
Horizontal gene transfer is fascinating! The main mechanisms are conjugation, transduction & transformation.
A new study by Kapteijn et al showed that cell wall deficient bacteria can acquire DNA by an endocytosis-like process.

#Microber2022 29. Mother
I had to think about cell division; and Caulobacter crescentus is a powerful model to study its cell cycle.

#Microber2022 24. Connection
Today I'd like to talk about yeast mating. After pheromone signaling, two yeast cells from different mating types will undergo polarized growth (forming a so-called schmoo) and eventually fuse
What a beautiful connection 💛

#Microber2022 14. Community
When I think about community, similarly to @LizahvdAart, I do not only think about microbes.
I am so grateful to all the amazing persons I met via science, from my labmates to all the friends from the scicomm and sciart communities that I met online. https://t.co/dP1qGFW6yV
#Microber2022 6. Sticky
As it is spooky season, here is a pumpkin being 'swallowed' by a very sticky biofilm.

The second challenge from @LizahvdAart was to draw a paper cut out piece in max 30'
I was inspired by our Tribes story (together with @JButtressSci) for Resist Now! @AMR_comics; because everything happens underground.
On the right you have my "failed" attempt to add a gemstone
#Microber2021 day 8 - Quorum sensing
QS is a communication process that allows bacteria to regulate gene expression according to cell density.
Did you ever use a tin can telephone? I did once, it was explained and exposed in a museum and that was cool!

@LizahvdAart @scottishscicomm @fayewatson94 @CVRinfo @TheLabArtist @eliza_coli @she_toot @Nicky_lab_brat Thank you so much @LizahvdAart !! And Hi Faye 😀, I'm Noémie, a microbiologist and science illustrator! I'd love to participate in such projects as I'm always super excited about comics ideas. I included some of my sciart but you can also check my IG for more: @noemie.m.21
And in case you missed the first two bacteria of #BacterialAlphabet, here they are:
A for Agrobacterium tumefaciens
&
B for Bacillus subtilis https://t.co/7UfooEQGmD
Last week I decided to start a new #sciart projet: drawing the #BacterialAlphabet !
Starting with A like Agrobacterium tumefaciens, a plant pathogen. #Agrobacterium tumefaciens uses DNA transfer to cause crown gall disease (a plant tumor)
This one is for @Mart1_100dra
