276: Bacterial Multicellularity Near An Underground Stream

<p dir="ltr">TWiM presents evidence that over half of human pathogenic diseases are impacted by climate change, and considers how a novel prokaryote discovered next to an underground stream illuminates the pathway to multicellularity.</p> <p>Hosts: <a href="https://twitter.com/profvrr" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Vincent Racaniello</a>, <a href= "https://twitter.com/twimschmidt" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Michael Schmidt</a>, <a href= "https://twitter.com/petralevin" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Petra Levin</a> and <a href= "https://twitter.com/markowenmartin" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Mark Martin.</a></p> <p>Become a <a href="http://www.microbe.tv/contribute" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">patron</a> of TWiM.</p> <h2><strong>Links for this episode</strong></h2> <ul> <li><a href="https://www.nature.com/articles/s41558-022-01426-1" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Climate change and pathogenic diseases</a> (Nat Climate Change)</li> <li><a href="https://camilo-mora.github.io/Diseases/" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Impacts of climate change on human diseases</a> (MoraLAB)</li> <li><a href="https://elifesciences.org/articles/83296" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Cave bacteria illuminate pathway to multicellularity</a> (eLife)</li> <li><a href="https://elifesciences.org/articles/71920" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Commentary on novel cave bacteria</a> (eLife)</li> <li><a href= "https://www.nps.gov/subjects/caves/karst-landscapes.htm" target= "_blank" rel="noopener">Karst landscapes</a> (National Park Service)</li> <li><a href="https://asm.org/twimpoll" target="_blank" rel= "noopener">Take the TWiM Listener surve</a>y!</li> </ul> <p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Music used on TWiM is composed and performed by</span> <a href= "http://ronaldjenkees.com/"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Ronald Jenkees</span></a> <span style="font-weight: 400;">and used with permission.</span></p> <p>Send your microbiology questions and comments (email or recorded audio) to <a href= "mailto:twim@microbe.tv">twim@mi
