Hey #streptomyces #natprod fans: 1. What is your favourite agar for growing really thick and dense aerial mycelial lawns? 2. How many spores would you inoculate on one 🧫 for thick and dense lawns? #microsky 🧪🧬🔬

A colleague received proofs of an accepted manuscript, and the "proofing process" clearly involved running the text through ChatGPT. Their voice has been erased, and errors introduced. This is from a supposedly reputable publisher. Anyone else been put through this particular form of hell? #MicroSky

Wow😲🤩 🧪🧫 🧬🔬⚗️ www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Glorious start of the day in Amsterdam! Looking forward to meeting the scientists in EU COST Action 🧫🦠#Biofilm Regulatory Toolbox today and start discussions on how to progress #standards #methods aiming to ultimately develop #regulatory guidance

Robert F Kennedy Jr. famously advocates drinking raw milk and promotes its benefits. But how safe is unpasteurised milk? Nicola Holden and Gil Domingue, who sit on AMI’s Food Security Scientific Advisory Group, take a deep dive into the science. www.the-microbiologist.com/opinion/safe...

A new bench at JIC in memory of Helen Kieser. She moved to Norwich with David Hopwood in the 1960s and was instrumental in establishing the Streptomyces group and Molecular Microbiology @johninnescentre.bsky.social. Hard to overstate her importance to the #streptomyces field and community.

@tadhgocroinin.bsky.social you must be chuffed! Started counting off the names yet?!🤣 bsky.app/profile/meto...

@matthutchings.bsky.social happy birthday, wishing you a lovely day!

Weird intersection of math & centrifuge balancing: Visual proof that it's possible to balance a 24-position centrifuge rotor for any number of equally-filled tubes EXCEPT 1 and 23. Some of these are anxiety-inducing, though. (🧑‍🎨: aliyoh, labrats subreddit)

Obviously Helen was also an incredible #WomenInSTEM

Saddened to hear😢 of the passing of Dr Helen Kieser, renowned #Streptomyces researcher. I will always be grateful🙏🏼 for her support and advice in practically anything Streptomyces and so many other topics, work and private #secmet #natprod #naturalproducts #genetics 🧫🧪🧬

Today we updated streptomyces.org.uk/strepstrains... with lists of useful Streptomyces strains and plasmids we have @johninnescentre.bsky.social and details of how to request them.

Share your research in #Ecology of #Actinomycetes #secmet #natprod 🧫🧪🦠🌎 at #ISBA2025 in our session! Submit your #abstract for an #oral or #poster #presentation by the end of the week to join Daniel Rozen and myself as Co-Chairs and speakers Linda Kinkel & Tamara Martin Pozas! #soil #ocean #water

Is excited to be at her first #SPATEX2025 meeting, great opp to connect with all in the UK water leisure sector for the Biofilm Alliance! Quite some different exhibits than in the typical microbiology conference exhibit hall :) 🧫🧪🦠🏊‍♀️🥼👷‍♂️🧑‍🔬
