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!

Inktober/Microber 2021 Day 13 Division 👻🦠
Bacteria multiply through cell division - most undergo a process called binary fission resulting in two daughter cells. 👯

12: DIVISION

In their infectious form, these brain-eating amoebae can divide without breaking up their nuclear membrane, in a process called promitosis.

The Bacteria Collection: Clostridium tetani (2/8) ☄️

This was day 6 of the list. Prompt: Sporulation.

12 - Wall!

The cell wall protects a bacterium and is mostly responsible for its shape. Penicillin is an antibiotic that interferes with cell wall construction enzymes and causes the cell to lyse.
