27 - Strain

This is me straining to crank out all the Microber pieces... Its really amazing to see what everyone is doing, but for me the creativity comes and goes. Some days I struggle with prompts while some other days the art goes brrrrr.

26: COMPETITION

Dengue fever virus has 5 serotypes that compete for hosts. Primary infection with 1 makes further infection with another much more dangerous. So it’s a real killer competition!

26 - competition!

I actually had no idea what to draw for 'competition' because everything is a competition for bacteria. Every niche is in a way a competition in which one species will thrive. Have fun with it, I had fun making it!

Day 26, competition! One way to out-compete other bacteria is to simply grow faster! In optimal conditions, E. coli can duplicate every 20 minutes

MicroBenchXでRyzen 9 5950Xのコア間レイテンシーを計測した結果。定格動作でおよそ20分かかるので、Threadripperでやったら1時間じゃ済まないなこれ

25: TRANSPOSON

Also known as jumping genes, they’re a handy tool in a many pathogen's toolkit. Transposons give Cryptococcus neoformans the genetic room it needs to adapt & resist antibiotics during infection.

24: ZOONOTIC

Sometimes we're incidental hosts to pathogens. Ebolaviruses mostly infect non-human primates & bats. Our Ebola outbreaks start w. a spillover from these animals, before human to human spread takes over

22 - Persistance!

The real persister here is YOU! Microbiology is a hard line of work with a lot of failures - failed experiments are a part of science. But you keep going for it and that's amazing! Go you!

Why not head out on the Microbe QR Trail as part of this half term? Grab a map from The Forum, Norwich and get going! The trail runs from 23rd-30th October. Also check out our marvellous window display in conjunction with & The Quadram Institute.

The Bacteria Collection: Pyrococcus furiosus (5/8) ✨

Day 16 of the list.
Prompt: Extremophile

Day 21- Plasmid. These rings of DNA are often shared among bacteria, and are a major contributor to the spread of antimicrobial resistance! Hence, one plasmid to resist them all...

20: LUMINESCENCE

Yes, there are luminescent pathogens too... Vibrio harveyi causes luminescent vibriosis in farmed shrimp. This may involve widespread necrosis in their appendages, but what a pretty colour!

18: MOTILITY

Proteus is a catheter opportunist with a bullseye motility pattern, due to cycling btw vegetative & swarmer states. A switch to swarming causes massive elongation, many more flagella & all the nasties!
