Photos from the lab iPad of today’s River #Deben #Suffolk E. coli isolation experiment with @countrylogs.bsky.social Samples from all the way along the river between #Debenham and #Woodbridge collected by Deben Climate Centre. Spot the ones downstream of a WWTP outflow.

Great fun catching up with our elite citizen scientist collaborators at the University of Suffolk yesterday. They’ve been monitoring coliforms in Suffolk’s River Deben & we’ve been sequencing the genomes looking for AMR genes & toxins etc. Special thanks to @countrylogs.bsky.social 😀🧬🔬🧫
