With new database, researchers may be able to predict rare 'milky seas' bioluminescent event

From Sailors to Satellites: A Curated Database of Bioluminescent #MilkySeas Spanning 1600-Present https://agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/2024EA004082

"For generations, sailors around the globe have reported a mysterious phenomenon: Vast areas of the ocean glow steadily at night, sometimes for months on end. The light is bright enough to read by... it likely comes from activity of Vibrio harveyi #bacteria."

#MolecularClock analysis shows #bacteria used oxygen long before widespread photosynthesis

A geological timescale for bacterial #evolution and oxygen adaptation https://www.science.org/doi/10.1126/science.ADP1853

"the earliest aerobic transition occurred in an ancestor of photosynthetic #cyanobacteria, indicating that the ability to utilize trace amounts of oxygen may have allowed the development of genes central to oxygenic #photosynthesis."

#Microbes are in a constant battle for survival! Researchers from @LeibnizHKI @unijena @microverse_exc @unibayreuth discovered how the plant pathogen Pseudomonas syringae uses a chemical radar to detect and eliminate predatory #amoebae .The #bacteria produce harmless molecules that the amoebae modify, revealing their presence. P. syringae detects this and produces toxic substances to eliminate the predator. This mechanism could inspire new drugs and pest control strategies! @dfg_public #EFRE

Hota getting back to art! @ShindaHotaru@mastodon.art

I‘m back with new (and older but not posted) comics!

With this one I‘m quite unsure overall? But I‘m also trying to change the process of creating these comics so there‘ll be various different looks in the next weeks. I just needed to get the idea out.

This image is a two-panel comic. It's in greyscale. It shows a very simple shape ghost looking at their reflection in the mirror. The viewer looks over the ghost's shoulder in the first panel. The reflection shows that the ghost has tears in their eyes and they say: "I feel so ugly." In the second panel, the reflection is covered up by speech bubbles. The ghost is turned towards the viewer and looks surprised on its shoulder. There and all over their body, little smiley faces show up and symbolise bacteria. The one on the shoulder says: “Don't you worry! You are the prettiest person to us!" Below the comic you can read: "Relatable Ghost by ShindaHotaru." and "more on apparentlyalive-designs.de"
