The complexity of #SynComs can limit their application. Li et al. propose a strategy for constructing a simplified and functional SynCom (sfSynCom) in this breakthrough new study published in #JIPB!

I met my first house spider this evening
In the dining room
Dropped down to my eye level from the ceiling, like to discuss the roommate agreement
It was easy
We had a fast understanding
It's gonna be a good spring!

Space junkies are so sad. 
Like, seriously, the whole Fenantyl epidemic is basically people insisting on using narcotics and getting killed from overdosing - if only they just watched Star Trek instead.
So sad.... 
#AllStarTrek After delivering that after school special crap lecture on drugs, no wonder Denise Crosby quit!

I estimate full sobriety in just a few years.

TFW the freighter crew has broken into the cargo of cannabis.

I'm looking on the freighter to see if I see the name "Unidentified".

@anna Creating Wooly People would be cool if it weren't so hot out. How about engineering chloroplasts that live symbiotically in human skin #symbiosis #plant #skin #hybrid
I'm happy to share this new paper describing long-term kleptoplasty in benthic foraminifera.

"The last plant left: can #RapaNui’s #extinct #tree be resurrected? https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2025/feb/19/rapa-nui-easter-island-science-extinct-endemic-tree-sophora-toromiro
"Seeds from the last #toromiro, unique to #EasterIsland, were taken away in the 60s. After a crucial discovery gave hope for its survival, it is making a return... It belongs to a family of pea #plants that has #symbiosis with soil #bacteria... the toromiro’s bacteria are also likely extinct on Rapa Nui... the team looked for them in related species, and found a match in strands from Chile & New Zealand"
Cool symbiosis... As a non-expert, I concur that close friends help us recover from wounds.

An article published in the journal Cell Host & Microbe reports the results of a study on the symbiosis between predatory protists and bacteria related to species that are pathogenic to various animal species and sometimes to humans. A team of researchers conducted a series of analyses on water samples and identified protists with predatory habits that eat some species of bacteria but are in symbiosis with other species.

MERLIN SHELDRAKE'S "ENTANGLED LIFE" is just exciting & absolutely fantastic to read!!!
"Some researchers use the term ‘holobiont’ to refer to an assemblage of different organisms that behaves as a unit. The word ‘holobiont’ derives from the Greek word holos, which means whole. Holobionts are the lichens of this world, the more-than-the-sums of their parts. Like ‘symbiosis’ and ‘ecology’, ‘holobiont’ is a word that does useful work. If we only have words that describe neatly bounded autonomous individuals, it is easy to think that they actually exist. The holobiont is not a utopian concept. Collaboration is always a blend of competition and co-operation. There are many instances where the interests of all the symbionts don’t align. A bacterial species in our gut can make up a key part of our digestive system but cause a deadly infection if it gets into our blood. We’re used to this idea.
Perhaps it isn’t so hard for us to relate to lichens after all. This sort of relationship-building enacts one of the oldest evolutionary maxims. If the word ‘cyborg’ — short for cybernetic organism — describes the fusion between a living organism and a piece of technology, then we, like all other life forms, are symborgs, or symbiotic organisms. The authors of a seminal paper on the symbiotic view of life take a clear stance on this point. ‘There have never been individuals, they declare. “We are all lichens.’

Posted this back when I was still on Instagram and called it "some kind of fungi". I was swiftly corrected by all the lichen lovers out there. I won't make that mistake again.
