What are microbes?
Microorganisms are so tiny and so abundant. But do not worry, most of them are not pathogenic to the human🦠

Our February issue is live! This issue we dig into the art of microbiology, 3D print food with brain waves, explore photosynthesis through origami, discuss the public perception of artificial intelligence, & more. https://t.co/7rM0n0jJlY

The doodles continue!
Made during the biology lessons since we mainly had to listen to the teacher and currently we have basic microbiology as topic. Something which I already have fair knowledge about.

- Jolt
The M13 bacteriophage is piezoelectric (applying pressure to it causes it to generate electricity). 6 yrs ago, Scientists genetically modified M13 to generate enough electricity to power an LCD display: https://t.co/zbS0d7LaqI

- Prickly
can look like they're prickly because of their coat proteins. Most viruses have coat proteins, which form a that protects their and/or bind to host cells during infection.

- Chop
causes a disease in which gives them swollen blue tongues. I'm not making that up! It can also cause abortions and has a high fatality rate in lambs. Less lamb chops - sad times.

- Breakable
In 17th century Netherlands, a caused crazy speculation in the sale of stripey tulip bulbs, as the stripes weren't always stable. They didn't know that Tulip breaking virus is what makes stripey.

- Bottle
Acidianus bottle-shaped 1 is (unsurprisingly) bottle shaped! It infects & was found in an acidic hot spring. Its genome encodes 57 potential proteins, only 3 of which are similar to known proteins.

– Weak
In ~1% of infections, the causes muscle weakness and paralysis. Since the widespread chlorination of drinking water, the age of exposure to Poliovirus has increased, increasing the risk of paralysis.

- Clock
Many physiological processes are affected by our body clocks, or circadian rhythms, including immunity. Some are able to detect or alter these rhythms to initiate infection at times of lowered immunity.

– Whale
Pithovirus sibericum is a whale of a at 1.5um long – it’s bigger than some bacteria and can be seen under a light microscope! It was found intact within a 30k yr old Siberian ice core and can still infect amoebas.

- Roasted.
Desert water environments are dominated by particular kinds of (viruses that infect bacteria), presumably because they can handle the roasting environment and drying out better than other
