This made me wonder whether a) what results would be like at multiple latitudes/longitudes and continents, and b) how major genus exist throughout the world when high reproductive rates increase opportunity for mutation and out-competition. Then again, we have observed less than 1% of spp.
Enrichment of root-associated Streptomyces strains in response to drought is driven by diverse functional traits and does not predict beneficial effects on plant growth

Enrichment of root-associated Streptomyces strains in response to drought is driven by diverse functional traits and does not predict beneficial effects on plant growth
Understanding how root microbes respond to drought is crucial for improving crop resilience. This study finds that Streptomyces responses are strain-specific and functionally diverse, with traits and ...

Update to BacFighT6, with presets for easy exploration of complex behaviors:

Try "battle royale" preset where prey (blue) produce capsule, attackers (red) move towards prey and feed on it, defenders (orange) retaliate!
Took a while to eliminate the reds!

Gram Strain pt 3! Biofilms are very important for bacteria to keep themselves secure and allow them to stick to their surroundings. Bacteria otherwise would be flushed away and struggle to
contribute to soil formation :(

Gram staining colors bacteria violet (+) or pink (-). + means the cell wall has a thick peptidoglycan polysaccharide layer unlike -. This is useful for identification
Yes I’ve given a bacteria a southern accent, he’ from Lobelville, TN where the soils are yellow & oxide rich baby!

Bacillus subtilis is a ubiquitous soil bacteria known for its resiliency by use of endospores and mutualistic tendencies. Bacilli lineage may be as old as 4Ga!

So apparently, there's not enough money in the budget to provide free school lunch, but there's millions for Trump to spend to "rebuild and open Alcatraz."

Longest speaking filibuster ever was 24 hours, 18 minutes by Strom Thurmond in opposition to the Civil Rights Act of 1957.
In a few hours, that record will be shattered by Sen. Cory Booker, a Black man, laying out the case for saving democracy from an aspiring despot.
