478 - How family members share gut microbes across multiple generations! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

477 - Bacteriophages can hitch a ride on bacteria they don't infect to travel through soil on fungal filaments, potentially helping their carriers by infecting and killing their competitors! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

476 - Beetles inoculate bamboo with a fungus that consumes the bamboo sugars to feed the beetle larvae! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

475 - New techniques allow specific modifications in certain members of a complex community of microbes, without isolating them in pure culture first! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

474 - Predatory bacteria could protect lobster farms from disease-causing bacteria! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

473 - A bacteriophage that overcomes the bacterial CRISPR/Cas immune system by interrupting the CRISPR DNA with its own genome! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

472 - Bacteria can use blobs of disordered proteins to quickly adapt to new conditions! Thanks to @Saumya_S for his contribution! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

470 - Tiny bacteria that live on larger bacteria reduce the inflammation and gum disease the bigger microbes cause in the mouths of mice! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

469 - A virus lurking in a bacterial genome protects its host population from infection with other phages, by killing off infected cells! traffic.libsyn.com/secure/ba…

461 - Training a phage strain on bacteria can increase its ability to control those bacteria for much longer than an untrained phage! traffic.libsyn.com/bacteriof…
