That about wraps up bacteria, folks.
If there was a species you were waiting out for but didn't see, let me know and I'll do my best to convince them to drop by.
Stay tuned over the next few days for the start of the next group of little critters...
Viruses
Again, let me know if there is anything special you want to see and I'll try put it on my list.
Enjoy!
hey zoo keeper, i no longer want my m. vacae, you can have it. It's behavior is uncontrollable.
ReplyDeleteI become more keen to bacteriophages
=P
Well, you were mostly doing pathogenic bacteria, but it was a pity you didn't do any dimorphic prosthecate bacteria -- these are bacteria that have two different cell types -- non-motile "mother" cells and "daughter/swarmer" cells that swim off to eventually lose their motility and become mother cells themselves. I'm partial to Hyphomonas, but probably Caulobacter is the most famous of this group.
ReplyDeleteEmma, please, I'd like to adopt a Rotavirus. Thanks
ReplyDeleteYou're a brave man.
ReplyDeleteRotaviruses are definitely on the menu.
I guess I focussed more on pathogenic bacteria because I'm a med student always found them around what I do everyday.
Hi Emma,
ReplyDeleteAs a fellow med student, I really love your website! I showed it to a few med friends, and they absolutely loved it too.
Are you at UWA? I'm at UQ; the course here doesn't cover much microbiology, which is a shame. Bugs are so fun!
Oh and can you please do Tropheryma whippelii and Rickettsia too? Thanks a lot! :)
Thank you for this wonderful blog!
ReplyDeleteI'm really not too big on blogs, but I've been following this one for months now. I can't wait for the viruses.
ReplyDeleteHello Zoo Keeper!
ReplyDeleteI've been down with a tonsilitis for quite a while now and don't seem to get better fast enough. That's probably because I don't know what the virus I've adopted looks like. ;) Will you help me out, so I know what to chase out of my system?! Thanks, Zoo Keeper.
Virus Victim S.
Calymmatobacterium granulomatis.
ReplyDeleteYou forgot that!
Do you have any Fusobacteria lying around? I'm especially in need of F. nucleatum
ReplyDeleteI love the blog, Emma!
This blog is so cool, it almost makes you want to call one of these microbes your own... almost. If yer doing viruses, we've had a mini-epidemic of pharyngoconjunctivitis here, so I'd be curious to see what fun you can have with an adenovirus.
ReplyDeleteThese stufs are so creepy!!
ReplyDeleteCould you do a the virus Dengue...
ReplyDeleteWe here at purdue univ work on Dengue..ran into your website and would love to see your version of it :)

ReplyDeletePlease write anything else!
ReplyDeleteactually, that's brilliant. Thank you. I'm going to pass that on to a couple of people.
ReplyDeletePlease write anything else!
ReplyDeleteMagnific!
ReplyDeleteAs a clinical laboratory scientist I love all your "bugs". Have you ever considered putting all the bacteria into a book? Check out lulu.com to see how easy it is. I am sure it would be a very popular book.
ReplyDeletej1gPDx Nice Article.
ReplyDeleteHello all!
ReplyDeletecan u make an influenza virus
ReplyDeleteHi Zoo Keeper,
ReplyDeleteDon't know if you are still keeping up this blog, last entry is nigh on 9 months old. I just ran across by cross-linking from skepchick. I love your illustrations and descriptions, can't wait to wade through older posts.
I know someone who works on Coronaviruses (SARS) and would absolutely love to have one of your illustrations to use in her lectures around the world on the bug.
Also, I couldn't find C. diphtheria on cursory review. Do you have that one as well?
Thanks for writing this.
