Luis and Rudolf, the postdocs in our lab wrote a very nice study with their MSc student Moritz Mueller. In their paper, they describe how synthetic bacterial leaf colonising communities affect lepidoptera larvae rdcu.be/fyeLk

The alkane 1-monooxigenase gene alkB of Pseudomonas sp. FF2 is upregulated during colonisation of Arabidopsis thaliana leaves

Bacteria on leaf surfaces encounter highly variable access to nutrients and water. This oligotrophic environment is partly due to the presence of cuticular waxes that render the leaf surface hydrophob...

Content Scrapers are accounts that steal images and videos and then repost them without giving credit. Often they are AI or illustrations labeled as real photographs. Often they say they are one thing but are actually another.
