Any conversation with @markowenmartin.bsky.social is a fun conversation. Really enjoyed sharing our science and my messy whiteboard! Come for a discussion of the environment and antibiotic resistance, stay for a (somewhat tortured) comparison of biology education to learning a foreign language. 💜

Genome maintenance by telomerase is a fundamental process in nearly all eukaryotes. But where does it come from?
Today, we report the discovery of telomerase homologs in a family of antiviral reverse transcriptases, revealing an unexpected evolutionary origin in bacteria.

Many years ago, choano legend Barry Leadbeater told me that chain colonies of certain choanos could be flexible and dynamically change curvature (like C. flexa sheets) - but I had never really seen it until these beautiful Cassis samples from @jujumathieu.bsky.social. As usual, Barry was right!

Hello everyone, take a look at my cool bugs from the Microbial Dark Matter phylum Saccharibacteria! These ultrasmall bacteria (in green) track down Actinobacteria hosts (not in green) and grow on the host cell envelope.
