🦠 It’s #AMRAwarenessWeek! Deadly, drug-resistant infections caused 1.27M deaths in 2019—and the threat is growing. Learn what drives AMR and how LIMS scientists are tackling it with cutting-edge research: latrobe.edu.au/news/announce… @SABE_latrobe @latrobe #AMR #sciencetwitter

3/3 🔬 The study showed that to protect itself from parasitic attack, the Gordonia amarae would mutate without mycolic acid, thereby permanently removing its ability to stabilise wastewater foam. Read more 👉 tinyurl.com/4xuwfhae

2/3 🦠 The study showed that Mycosynbacter amalyticus kills the foam-causing bacteria “Gordonia amarae” by attaching to the mycolic acid in its cell walls – the substance which stabilises foam in water. tinyurl.com/4xuwfhae

1/3 🌊 New research in @NatureComms! LIMS & @SABE_Latrobe’s A/Prof Steve Petrovski w. scientists at @UniMelb has shown that the key to treating foamy wastewater without harsh chemicals could be a new, parasitic bacterium called Mycosynbacter amalyticus👉 tinyurl.com/4xuwfhae

This #MeetMeMonday, meet PhD student Jayson Rose from the @PetrovskiLab. Jayson has recently published his research at how Patescibacteria depend on mycolic acid in Gordonia amarae for infection.🧫 Join me in congratulating Jayson! 👏 rdcu.be/eccRX

🚨 New research from @PetrovskiLab @SABE_latrobe & @UniMelb explores microbial resistance in wastewater treatment! Scientists have identified how mutations in Gordonia amarae influence its resistance to the Patescibacteria parasite Mycosynbacter amalyticus, a key interaction in wastewater microbial communities. These findings could help inform future innovations in wastewater treatment and microbial management. 🦠💧 @NatureComms @latrobe @LIMSLTU @LTUresearchers Read more 👉tinyurl.com/5n6e5nnj
