@simonahuwiler.bsky.social#AMR superbugs are getting tougher, but predatory bacteria like B. bacteriovorus can hunt them down! We show that model bacterium E.coli 🦠 can escape these ‘living antibiotic’ by evolution, mainly through OmpF porin loss. This comes at a cost. Details at: tiny.cc/2qpa101

@microbiotech.bsky.social#MicroSky: CIRCULAR ECONOMY: Laura de Eugenio et al discuss that enzymes can help tackle plastic waste, but no single technology will deliver circularity alone. A systems approach to plastics & bioplastics is key. Find their OPINION at doi.org/10.1111/1751...
@evgenii-protasov.bsky.socialWhen genus deserves to be a family 🦠🔬
Recent phylogenomic analyses showed that the genus Methanobrevibacter is severely underclassified. We propose reclassifying it into a family, Methanobrevibacteraceae consisting of 11 genera.

@michiwagner4.bsky.social🧬 Preprint: We showed #Patescibacteria are far more abundant in WWTPs than thought. Now we reveal a Saccharimonadia-PAO interaction using FISH, time series, CRISPR & recent LGT. If parasitic, it may affect EBPR stability; other PAOs may also interact.
