Polyploid cyanobacterial genomes provide a reservoir of mutations, allowing rapid evolution of herbicide resistance
Adaptive mechanisms in bacteria, which are widely assumed to be haploid or partially diploid, are thought to rely on the emergence of spontaneous muta…

Was great to be part of this study headed up by @scaralbi.bsky.social. We are very excited by the finding that chromosomal polyploidy could be an important driver in the #evolution of #cyanobacteria and other prokaryotes. 🧬🦠

Role of Cyanobacteria in the assembly and dynamics of microbial communities on glacier surfaces
Glacier surface habitats are dynamic ecosystems that respond to local climatic and thermal changes, although the assembly mechanisms of microbial comm…

Here's something a little different to our usual research for my inaugral Bluesky Post. In our new perspective out now in Applied Phycology, we describe how you can use the electrical signals of algae to generate music 🦠⚡️🎵. 🧵1/12 www.tandfonline.com/doi/full/10....

Algal biomusic generation
Technologies which can generate music with limited human intervention are a longstanding area of investigation for musicians and musicologists, with particular interest in how these technologies ca...
