day 15- bath salts often enhance the experience of being suspended in water. Bacteria also respond to salts present in the environment. Some swell up, grow fast or dart around. Each has a preference for type and concentration of salt in the medium.

14. Community

When I think about community, similarly to , 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

14 Community: understanding microbial communities through sequencing, effort is focused on bacteria and their functions. Viruses (inc phages), fungi, etc are overlooked, but are vitally important in shaping communities and functions

The endless possibilities, shapes, colours and sugars dazzled Foosi. Finally a place to call home! Foosi's excitement was quickly tinged with fear - what if I don't fit in?

Day 11-small periodic lines on the wall made during childhood are indicators of growth. For bacteria this is done by protein complexes (density, bound or unbound, location). When these proteins misbehave we see long cells lacking division points

Catching up for Transform and Sleep! Every mol biologist knows the pain of cloning.

MTb is an interesting bug in that it can remain latent in a lung and activate again later!
