There are 1000x less microbes able to degrade biodegradable plastics (i.e. aliphatic polyesters) in marine environments (sediments) than in their terrestrial counterparts! 🤯Why? Still don't know. Check our latest preprint (fig shows log10 values) https://t.co/qlXpN6TwCH

Marine cyanobacteria use pili to retain optimal positions within the water column and evade grazing predation—yet this fitness cost may explain why they aren’t more widespread: Type IV pili increase phage encounter in marine cyanobacteria
biorxiv.org
Type IV pili are extracellular bacterial appendages with diverse functions, including biofilm formation, motility, conjugation, transformation, pathogenicity, and secretion. In planktonic marine...

Our recent work indicates that about 20% of the drugs, that are most commonly given to patients that have an increased risk of a fungal infection, act not not only on the human but also on the fungal pathogen, and render them more drug resistant or tolerant.
