#inktoberday12 – Whale
Pithovirus sibericum is a whale of a #virus 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.

#InktoberDay3 - Roasted.
Desert water environments are dominated by particular kinds of #bacteriophages (viruses that infect bacteria), presumably because they can handle the roasting environment and drying out better than other #viruses.
