School busy; round 1.5 might be a little while

[bacteriashowdown]

Round 1 is Complete!

In the second part of the first round, Actinomycetota, Rhodothermota, Spirochaetota, Planctomycetota, Myxococcota, Verrucomicrobiota, Bdellovibrionota and Chloroflexota were victorious! We will be saying goodbye to Thermomicrobiota, Campylobacterota, Abditibacterota, Bacteroidota, Synergistota, Chlamydiota, and Chlorobiota.

The list of bacteria that will proceed to Round 2 will be determined after Round 1.5, which will consist of the following 10 battles!

Nitrospirota vs. Gemmatimonadota

Bacillota vs. Coprothermobacterota

Deinococcota vs. Dictyoglomerota

Mycoplasmatota va. Elusimicrobiota

Caldisericota vs. Lentisphaerota

Planctomycetota vs. Kiritimatiellota

Myxococcota vs. Ignavibacteriota

Verrucomicrobiota vs. Balneolota

Bdellovibrionota vs. Atribacterota

Chloroflexota vs. Fibrobacterota

I have a lot of propaganda left to write for the new bacteria in this round, so I expect it to be about a week before that round is ready.

THANK YOU all for voting! The most popular poll this round got over 200 votes, and I am so happy to see that kind of engagement over microbiology. I myself have learned SO MUCH about bacteria through this project and hope to learn more about the field afterwards... honestly this whole tumblr taxonomy community has been really inspiring!

THANK YOU as well to: @0ctogus! They proof-read basically ALL of the propaganda that hits your dash (with the exception of some early examples), and were generally super helpful as a source of quality-control and peer-review, from someone who has a much better knowledge of biology than I. It didn't feel right to finish this round off without mentioning their contributions!

And that concludes Round 1! See you all soon with more Bacteria Facts.

Yep! Well, in the sense that it's teeming with life, yes. I think it's pretty amazing. If you grab a glass of it, the pink color remains, meaning it's not an effect of a color at the bottom of the lake or anything: there are just a lot of red bacteria in there!
