It was wonderful to discuss the significance of anaerobic bacteria, the challenges of cultivating these organisms, and my role at the Microbiomics and Culturomics Core Facility on the Finding Genius Podcast. Info on how to listen to the full episode below.
🔬 Exploring the Hidden World of Gut Bacteria with @MicrobeMiller In this episode, we sit down with Dr. Samuel Miller, a leading scientist at Oklahoma State University, to dive deep into the fascinating world of culturomics and the microbial universe. 🌱 🎶tinyurl.com/yjpeku6p Dr. Miller’s research is uncovering the mysteries of anaerobic bacteria and their crucial role in human health. From anaerobic vs aerobic bacteria to groundbreaking discoveries on uncultivated microbes, get ready for an inside look at the cutting-edge work that’s reshaping our understanding of gut health. 🧬 🎧 What you'll learn: 🦠 The major differences between anaerobic & aerobic bacteria 🌍 What happens when anaerobes are exposed to oxygen 💡 How bacteria are helping us improve health Follow Dr. Miller’s groundbreaking research on LinkedIn: linkedin.com/in/MicrobeMille… 🎧 Listen now on Apple Podcasts: apple.co/30PvU9C . . . #Microbiome #Culturomics #AnaerobicMicrobiology #GutHealth #MicrobialResearch #Phage #HealthScience #Bacteria #FindingGeniusPodcast #OSU #Biodiversity #Microbiomics #MicrobialWorld #16SrRNA #HealthInnovation

Not all chips are desiccated chitin agar plates, but ALL DESICCATED CHITIN AGAR PLATES ARE CHIPS. #bacteria #agar #chips #chitin

I’ve recently connect with some amazing elementary teachers via @SkypeScientist to engage with their students about all things anaerobic and microbiological. The curiosity and questions from these students has been truly inspiring. #Microbiology #Bacteria #ScientificOutreach

Did anyone else take a stash of collection tubes with them over the break? #Bacteria #SampleCollection #Tubes

Meet the lab's newest "microbial members": OSA5, a novel 𝘓𝘶𝘵𝘦𝘰𝘤𝘰𝘤𝘤𝘶𝘴 sp. isolated from ostrich poop, and P3C3, a novel 𝘗𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘥𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘯𝘢𝘴 sp. isolated from pond soil. Stay tuned for more ... #Bacteria #Luteococcus #Pseudomonas #Ostrich #Poop #Pond #Soil

The 2024 Alpacas of Oklahoma show in Chickasha, OK, was an absolute blast. It was incredible to see these beautiful alpacas and chat with their humans about alpaca gut bacteria. Anywho, photos - don't focus too much on the crazy👀. #Bacteria #Alpacas #Outreach #Oklahoma

The face Tac makes when I talk about treat-os vs. the face he makes when I talk about the latest novel isolate I have in the lab ….. #Bacteria #Cultivation #Ostrich #Luteococcus

Getting that “Thank you for submitting your manuscript” email ….. doesn’t seem to get old. #Bacteria #Novel #Submitted #Manuscript

At least one of us is conscious and attempting to work on this manuscript. 💻📄🐶💤 #Bacteria #DogLife #Writing #PartnerInCrime #Tac #TacBoy

These bacteria are growing on TSA. The input to this was 250 μL of water from the Cimarron River near Perkins, OK. I’ve also got some rather interesting looking growth on “Dung” and R2A agar plates … more on those later. #Bacteria #River #Water

I’m not saying I’m the least favorite person in the lab ….. but I will say that I made “dung agar” today. The stacks denote different antibiotic regimes. #Bacteria #Alpaca #Dung #Agar #MediaPrep

Out sampling in the beautiful Cimmaron River this morning. I ran across a wild ….. MacBook-o-saurus. #Bacteria #River #SampleCollection

I can now officially mark “waste water treatment plant” off my microbiological sampling bingo card. #Bacteria #Anaerobes #WasteWater #SampleCollection

Colleague: Hey, do you want these bacteria from my fungal enrichments? Me: The answer is always, yes! Today, I dove into the chamber to check on them (Plated on TSA blood) … some anaerobes … stay tuned for Sanger sequencing results. #Bacteria #Anaerobes #Unknowns

Last Friday, I gave a seminar @pittstate covering some of my recent anaerobic cultivation efforts. It was great to see some friends and spend time with their grad students. Thanks so much for hosting me! #oagaag #Bacteria #Anaerobes #Alpacas #Bats

Today, I’ve been collecting fecal samples from the 𝘊𝘢𝘮𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘥𝘢𝘦 family like infinity stones. I think I’m ready for a rest now. The processing can wait until Mon———Tuesday. #Bacteria #Camels #FieldWork

I just returned to the field and couldn’t be more excited! I'm collecting samples from alpacas (again) and llamas (for the first time). Their selfie game is still strong!! #Bacteria #Fieldwork #Alpacas #Llamas
