#Actinomycetes are rich in #CRISPR-Cas systems—many with unique features—yet their roles remain largely unknown.🧬 Mitousis et al. review highlights the need to explore these systems to unlock better genetic tools & new #naturalproducts.🦠 ⚙️ @unituebingen.bsky.social

Unlocking Bacterial Development: A New Family of Peptides Key to Microbial Growth Bacteria are masters of adaptation, constantly producing a diverse array of small organic molecules, natural products, to interact with their environment and mediate crucial physiological processes. A...

New surfactant peptides called clavusporins, discovered by Princeton's Seyedsayamdost Lab, reveal how filamentous bacteria grow upward and not "bald". go.njmicrobe.org/bHo8aE #Microbiology #NaturalProducts #Streptomyces #rSAM #Peptides #BacterialDevelopment #Surfactants #Actinomycetes

🎵Break it down again
So those are my dreams
And these are my eyes
Stand tall like a man
Headstrong like a horse

When it's all mixed up
Better break it down

In the world of secrets
In the world of sound🎵

Scientists around Yvonne Mast at @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social described 20 new strains of #actinomycetes and named them all after female microbiologists. DSMZ now features portraits of these women that we want to share with you. A great way to increase recognition of #womeninscience 💜👩🏾‍🔬🧫🦠 #microbiology

To honour Alice Catherine Evans for her studies of the bacteriology of milk and cheese and proving the risk of consumption of raw milk DSMZ researchers named the strain Streptomyces evansiae (DSM 41979) after her.

Honouring Dr. Rebecca Lancefield (1895 – 1981) for her research on streptococcal bacteria the strain Streptomyces lancefieldiae (DSM 40712) was named after her.
