Pseudomonas aeruginosa is one of the most pleasant bacteria to identify from a microbiologist's perspective. In turn, from the veterinarian's point of view - one of the worst to treat.

Swarm Regards

Organisms living side by side produce a new form of life – a community. While ecosystems can be miles wide, this tiny swarm of bacteria is just establishing itself on a lab dish. Its two bacterial species, Bacillus subtilis (highlighted in red) and Pseudomonas aeruginosa (green), behave very differently, growing and dividing on different time scales and moving at different speeds. Here researchers watch as they mingle but not completely, keeping themselves to themselves but sometimes cooperating – with B. subtilis seeming to improve how the P. aeruginosa swarms. Bacterial communities, including those that stubbornly colonise surfaces in hospitals, are a natural form of active matter – a complex balance of biological behaviours and physical properties that crop up when 'things' move together. But even considering these factors, the team believe there are hidden subtleties still to discover – including the ways bacteria to recognise their own species when moving through the crowd.

this is completely random but

In my head while reading The Rise of Kyoshi and The Shadow of Kyoshi, Father Glowworm looked just like Pseudomonas from Cells At Work

Medicine in the ATLA world

As a biomedical science student, I was thinking about the use of medicine in ATLA right? And although I have a lot of Thoughts I probably won’t be writing a full paper on it, although I am tempted though. 

My main thought was: if most of the organisms in the ATLA world are hybrids, does that mean that the microorganisms are too?

Just imagine a MRSA-Pseudomonas aeruginosa hybrid, its terrifying. (For the non-sciencey people of this blog, these are some of the Azulas are the bacterial world, highly resistant to many things and very very difficult to kill (and only getting more difficult). 

Forget Ozai and the Fire Nation, the biggest threat these kids are facing is much smaller, but potentially much more deadly.
