ABSTRACT Twitching motility is a form of bacterial surface translocation powered by the type IV pilus (T4P).It is frequently analyzed by interstitial colony expansion between agar and the polystyrene surfaces of petri dishes.In such assays, the Lift Top Desk twitching motility of Acinetobacter nosocomialis was observed with MacConkey but not Luria-

Cyanobacteria are promising candidates for sustainable bioproduction of chemicals from sunlight and carbon dioxide.However, the genetics and metabolism of cyanobacteria are less well understood than those of model heterotrophic organisms, and the suite of well-characterised cyanobacterial genetic tools and parts is less mature and complete.Transcri
The oviposition behaviour of four ant parasitoids was observed and filmed for the first time.The OMEGA LOTION movies are available from YouTube (search for Elasmosoma, Hybrizon, Kollasmosoma and Neoneurus).Two of the observed species (Neoneurus vesculus sp.n.and Kollasmosoma sentum sp.n.) are new to science.A third species (Neoneurus recticalcar sp
