Weird question, but does anyone know what kind of microbes may turn an oat flake blue? #microbes #bacteria #slimemold

Wet tissue paper in a moist chamber, holding a Fuligo septica plasmodium. There is a yellow blotch of slime mold on the paper.
Left: an oat flakes being decayed by microbes and slime mold. Right: an oat flake decaying, turned a purple blue. Bottom left: and undecayed oat flake.

A fan of #Bryophytes? You are (almost) not alone! #Bryophytes rule...they can grow almost anywhere, host a fascinating world of #microbes (incl. #nitrogen-fixing #Cyanobacteria), are key in #biogeochemistry, and hold huge potential for #biotechnology. www.nature.com/articles/s41...

Microbes can colonize space, produce drugs and create energy − researchers are simulating their inner workings to harness how

Using digital blueprints of the metabolism of microbes, scientists can simulate expensive and time-intensive experiments set in space, power plants and farm fields.
