For #InternationalMensDay, let's look at three men who tested their own theories on themselves. 🧪 Marshall: drank Helicobacter pylori. 🦠 Hunter: self-inoculated. 🦟 Lazear: took yellow-fever mosquito bites. Dangerous experiments, major impact. #Microbiology

#FungusFriday: Penicillium rubens 🍄 Discovered by Fleming in 1928, this mould gave us penicillin: 💊 First antibiotic 🍈 Mouldy cantaloupe helped mass production in #WW2 🌱 Now used in farming Follow for more microbiology facts #MycologyMatters #Microbiology #Penicillin #Science

🌊 🛢️When an oil spill hits the ocean, Alcanivorax borkumensis gets to work. This marine #bacterium naturally lives in seawater, but when oil is present, it multiplies fast and starts breaking it down. In other words: it eats oil. 👉 eu1.hubs.ly/H0kGCml0 #WorldEnvironmentDay

☢️ #TheElephantsFoot at Chernobyl is one of the most dangerous environments on Earth. Yet Deinococcus #radiodurans, a bacterium known for surviving intense #radiation, has been found in similarly extreme zones. 👉 eu1.hubs.ly/H0kGFXJ0 #WorldEnvironmentDay

🧃Did you know there’s a bacterium that can eat plastic? In 2016, Ideonella sakaiensis was discovered living on plastic bottles at a recycling plant in Japan. This small discovery has big implications for about plastic waste and bioremediation. 👉 [Link] #WorldEnvironmentDay

🔬 New research by @cr_uk links #Ecoli with the #Colibactin gene to rising early-onset #BowelCancer rates. BioLabTests tests for microbes like E. coli on surfaces with ISO-accredited lab services. 🔗 Read the article: eu1.hubs.ly/H0jzdfT0 #Microbiology #LabTesting
