Bacteria need water to survive
Bacteria, like all living things, need water to live. Water is important for bacteria in many ways: It helps them move around; It brings them food; It allows them to grow; It keeps them cool when it's hot; It helps build their bodies; It moves things inside their cells. Without water, bacteria couldn't do any of these things. That's why water is so important for bacterial life. #BacterialWorld
Learn in the #BacterialWorld colouring book how #bacteria grow 🎨
To gain energy, #bacteria break apart molecules like sugars, amino acids and fats. 🔋 This process sets free electrons which bacteria transport to the bacterial membrane. Here, they fuel the swimming rotor and transporters or are saved as energy in molecules. At the end of the aerobic respiratory chain, #bacteria then transport these electrons onto oxygen molecules. 💨 https://sarahs-world.blog/coloured-bacteria-from-a-to-z/

Would you have thought that you could find #bacteria at the deepest and darkest corners of the ocean? 🌊 Yes, Oceanithermus profundus is one of them. This extreme bacterium even LOVES the heat of hydrothermal vents in the deep ocean. 🔥 To avoid melting at this temperature, Oceanithermus profundus adds special proteins and lipids to its membrane so it remains solid. https://sarahs-world.blog/coloured-bacteria-from-a-to-z/

Quorum sensing - or how bacteria talk to each other
Bacteria also don't like being lonely and need to know they are not alone. And often they need to talk to other bacteria and interact with them. To do so, they use a mechanism called quorum sensing. Read on to find out more about this fascinating mechanism. #BacterialWorld #bacteria #bacterialinteractions #humanbody #microbialcommunities #physiology #quorumsensing #sciartbynoémiematthey #sporulation
