Lac operon: Two gems from the early days (2|2) by Christoph — When I recently wrote about noise in the basement of the lac operon, I stumbled across two papers in said basement, both of which I – and not only I – consider gems of early molecular biology: 'Isolation of the lac repressor'…

Into the Deep Blue by Christoph — Just let the deep ultramarine blue of the frontispiece sink in at your leisure. Take your time. Surely, You will soon realize that it is not a photograph of the night sky with the milky way and myriads of stars, but a de­tail from an oil painting...

indeed, 𝘙𝘶𝘨𝘰𝘴𝘪𝘵𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘢 𝘰𝘳𝘺𝘻𝘢𝘦 looke like fusilli, which are notably better at holding on salsa di pomodoro than spaghetti... and as pasta addicts, we fell instantly in love with the shape of this newly described alphaproteo from the Rhizobiales 🤭 #MicroSky

@taz.de was frau küpper hier sagt, darf gern weitest verbreitet werden. hannah arendt würde es sicher freuen. wie zaubert ihr das LF logo als "" in den text? mit copy/paste geht es nicht, sich das auszuleihen... (ich möchte fürderhin remigration nicht ohne schreiben)

seems that protists were way ahead of us with the invention of the circular economy 😊 great to hear of 'holobionts' again 👍 #SymnioSky #MicroSky #ProtistsOnSky

@philipcball.bsky.social have you seen this 😳 tiny Asgards dancing like crazy! (live microscopy recording of anaerobes, fenomenal) www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1...

What a great story from Heidi. "“We need a molecular definition of what is normal.” In the light of this work, one has to wonder if the molecular is the right place to look for that at all.

christoph: great you did identify the spaghetti as 𝘔𝘦𝘪𝘰𝘵𝘩𝘦𝘳𝘮𝘶𝘴 𝘳𝘶𝘣𝘦𝘳! the time-lapse of the feeding is a charm 👏 as a child, I always dreamed of eating single spaghetti (spaghetto!) exactly like this: slurping them up (but wasn't allowed to, *sigh). #ProtistsOnSky

I like the term "intercellular biodiversity" (much more than the old trope of "parasitism") #MicroSky

do you enjoy traveling to islands? perhaps even volcanic islands? are you interested in microbiology? Then this old STC post might be of interest to you... #MicroSky

adios helme heine 👋

#Ukraine it reeks like a the munich agreement 2.0. who will play chamberlain this time? en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Munich_...

...when your grain stalk (𝘚𝘦𝘤𝘢𝘭𝘦 𝘤𝘦𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦) is simply too damn long to print out its image or display it on a screen.

All nations committed under the Paris Agreement to limit global warming to 1.5 degC for good reason. Instead many governments are beholden to the fossil fuel lobby and even subsidize fossil fuel use with your money. We’re now at 1.4 degC & emissions are rising not falling. unfccc.int/process-and-...

hi tanmay, this is definitively worth giving it the #MicroSky hashtag, why not doing it yourself? well, I did 😉

@arianebriegel.bsky.social would you mind if I come back to this image in a STC post planned for december? hope not...

Hungary 1956 'Well over a 100k people fled the country seeking asylum. Among them was a young geneticist named George Rédei, who headed for the Austrian border with a small vial of seeds tucked in his pocket. The seeds belonged to a spindly weed in the mustard family called Arabidopsis thaliana.'

this work 👇 by richard serra is absolutely terrifying when you see it in real life, believe me. the heavy metal plates are leaning against each other only at their upper corners; in principle, they could collapse into each other at any moment. stay clear!

aha! becker agilo 🙂
