If you know me, I have probably told you how E.coli 🦠 can accumulate hydroxyapatite.
In this preprint, I show that Zinc is colocalized with the mineral accumulation www.researchsquare.com/article/rs-7...

Dem Schneckenschleim auf der Spur 🐌
Franziska Jehle war live bei Radio 1 und sprach über ihre Forschung.
Bunt gefärbte Proben vom Schechenschleim unter dem Mikroskop waren eines der Mitmach-Experimente beim #PTDW25.

👋 Hello Bluesky! This is our first post 🌐
We’re launching our presence here with
EuroCurvoBioNet Monthly Webinars:
🧪 Anupam Sengupta (University of Luxembourg)
🗓️ 7 May 2025 – 13:30 CET – Zoom
Curvo-hydrodynamics: Flow-curvature interactions and feedback in biological fluids
Perfectly at the intersection of fluid dynamics and curvature in biology — join us to explore how geometry shapes flow and function in living systems!

Wie können wir von der Natur – Insekten, Bakterien, Pflanzen – lernen, farbstofffreie Farben herzustellen?
Und wie können Schnecken, Baumrinde oder Wachteleier uns zu nachhaltigen Materialien inspirieren?
Experimentiere mit uns am #PotsdamerTagderWissenschaften & finde die Antworten! #PTDW25

Meet @laurazorzetto.bsky.social, a #biomaterials #WomanInStem in @cmbidan.bsky.social's group.
She learns from #bacterial #mineralization how to craft functional materials... even if they are sticky & stinky!
Here you can see the intricate structures that the #bacterium #E.coli can grow
#ChemSky
How can we learn from microbial #biofilms to engineer functional #biomaterials?
@cmbidan.bsky.social cstudies how #biofilms form as #bacteria get embedded in their fibrous #ExtracellularMatrix ( #proteins & #polysaccharides) under different physical challenges
