I was working on the invasion of my comic Streptomyces forest last week.
An odd mirroring of life and #SciArt

To find new #Antibiotics, you may need to look in crazy, ‘under explored’ places. Like the chest plate of a leafcutter ant in Kenya. This was the home of Streptomyces formicae KY5... #AntibioticAwarenessWeek
Day 6 - Sporulation!
Some species of bacteria form spores that can remain dormant for a long time and germinate when conditions are favourable. This is a little Streptomyces Tangela that's making some Streptomyces style spore chains! #Microber2021
Aaand we are done! I tried to make Streptomyces like these massive skyscrapers with neon antibiotics.
Petrichor in the park: why does soil smell lovely after it rains? Developmentally regulated volatiles geosmin and 2-methylisoborneol attract a soil arthropod to Streptomyces bacteria promoting spore dispersal....... https://t.co/GU5ahV2KT7 (HM library can obtain text)

Los camellos son capaces "de oler" el agua a 80km de distancia. La realidad es más bien otra. Huelen la geosmina (que es como se llama al olor de tierra mojada) que producen unas bacterias llamada Streptomyces coelicolor.
