For #microbiology #phage folks of mastodon - can I get some recommendations for review/landmark papers on Siphoviridae tail genomics/morphology/phylogenetics? I'm running into walls on how to interpret some recent observations.

Testing out mk6 OD meter, preparing for upcoming microbii exp (in collab with @ATinyGreenCell ). Swapping out wires + commodity boards for custom circuit dramatically simplified things on my end. Mk7's already being polished for testing. Now to get some Julia growth curve notes running! #microbiology #amateurbiology

Maybe the problem we face is we just refine old tools and don't create anything new

Linezolid probably a bit safer than we think & probably can give >4 weeks with close observation.

Great drug, it's oral, but still makes me a bit apprehensive about using it for a long course, certainly at 600mg BD.

Heart breaking to see people still suffering from leprosy. Low potential to eradicate this one but there's no reason at all we can't reduce this to a rare, background level infection. #microbiology #InfectiousDisease #science https://www.newsfirst.lk/2023/9/7/sri-lanka-observes-spike-in-leprosy-cases-161-patients-recorded-from-colombo-in-2023

We are hiring project scientists, Postdocs and research associates in multiple labs. Please reach out if you are looking for exciting #phage #microbiology #synbio #CRISPR #AMR #evolution #ecology Systems biology & infectious disease biology work. 🙏

Fascinating article. A bacterium with a strange life cycle, carrying a virus letting it utilise certain nitrogen sources, that's then transmitted when exposed to those chemicals. We've so much to learn about deep ocean ecology. https://elifesciences.org/reviewed-preprints/89874v1 #microbiology #bacteria #science

One of the perks of #freelancing is being able to write about my first science love: #microbiology. Last month, I got to dive into the intersection of phage, HGT, and CRISPR... and all of this happens in tiny microbial "berries" found in Cape Cod, MA.
