I've been working as part of the BASE project for the last 18 months, drilling the 3.22 billion year old Moodies group in South Africa to get fresh unweathered material in the least deformed sections. We finished drilling late last year, and last week we were able to sample the core.
To say this material is well preserved is an understatement. It's better preserved than some Phanerozoic material I've worked with.
My role will be to look for organic walled microfossils in the fine grained sedimentary rocks. Previous researchers found some large organic spheres in the Moodies in 2010, but those rocks were from a gold mine and the spheres were badly preserved. Our material has not been affected by hydrothermal gold mineralisation so we are hoping to find some nice fossils. Regardless, as you can see below, the microbial textures are beautifully preserved with lots of primary features.

"She's so jovial that she's almost microbial, she gets under my skin with that personality of the divine like sunshine upon my heart.. and if I could compare her to anything, it would have to be the breeze. She's soft, so softly forever caressing me.."
I love her, can't you tell? She's everything that I need and so much more - eUë

Folks. Folks. Folks.
Please understand that microbial tests and their confirmation tests don't take 1 hour. Its is not 1 hour photo development.
You're literally waiting for microscopic things which cannot be seen with the naked eye to grow to a size where we can see them and count them. Then you sometimes have to take the blob and put it on another thing for it to grow so if it is the thing it will grow again or do a funky thing like make stuff that make it glow, and if it doesn't, it doesn't grow, it doesn't glow. It can take 18 hours....or even 24 hours or 48 hours or even more. Then there's analysis, review and reporting that all takes time.
Also labs don't just have 1 sample. Labs have multiple samples and sometimes from multiple customers. Processing and prep all takes time. And I have no idea how many timers they have going, but at least in my lab, a small lab, we got 3 timers with 4 channels each and they are often all running. That's 12 things running with a countdown.
I literally cannot give you a result in 1 hour for a test that takes 22 hours. Chill.

MICROBIAL STRUCTURE, REPLICATION AND MOTILITY
Microbes, also known as microorganisms, are diverse and abundant life forms that include bacteria, archaea, fungi, protozoa, and viruses. They exhibit a wide range of structures, replication methods, and motility mechanisms. 1) Microbial Structure Microbial cells have unique structures that enable them to thrive in various environments. Bacteria and archaea are prokaryotic organisms, lacking a…

Microbial Metabolites Purification
Microbial metabolites purification refers to the process of isolating and purifying bioactive compounds produced by microorganisms. Microbes, including bacteria, fungi, and actinomycetes, are known to produce a wide range of secondary metabolites with diverse chemical structures and biological activities.
Types of Microbial Metabolites Purification
Preparative Liquid Chromatography System
The Hanbon preparative liquid chromatography system is widely utilized in the separation and purification of pharmaceutical intermediates, biopharmaceuticals, synthetic drugs, natural products, fine chemicals, and food additives.
Chromatographic Column
Hanbon is the pioneering inventor of the DAC® (dynamic axial compression) column, introducing this technology in 2005.
Simulated Moving Bed (SMB)
In 2005, Hanbon combined the iSMB (simulated moving bed) with the DAC® (dynamic axial compression) column.
Continuous Ion Exchange Chromatography
By integrating techniques, continuous dissociation technology offers enhanced efficiency in the separation and purification processes, enabling the production of high-quality purified ingredients.
SFC (Supercritical Fluid Chromatography)
Supercritical Fluid Chromatography offers a unique and powerful approach to separation science, with broad applications in different industries and research areas.
What Are The Potential Applications Of Purified Microbial Metabolites?
Purified microbial metabolites have diverse applications in various fields, including pharmaceuticals, agriculture, food additives, and biofuels. They can serve as lead compounds for drug discovery, provide alternatives to synthetic pesticides in agriculture, act as flavor enhancers or preservatives in food products, and serve as renewable energy sources. Purified microbial metabolites have significant potential for the development of novel therapeutic agents and sustainable solutions in multiple industries.

Do You Have a Nose for Wine Faults? Take the Quiz.
Do You Have a Nose for #WineFaults? Take the #Quiz. #somm #winelover #corktaint
Good or Bad wine experience Understanding and identifying faults in wine is crucial for both novice and seasoned enthusiasts. Wine faults can significantly diminish the overall enjoyment of a bottle, affecting its aroma, taste, and texture. Common faults include cork taint, oxidation, and microbial contamination, each imparting undesirable characteristics to the wine. Recognizing these faults,…

This sample consists of black wrinkly microbial mats, and green grey claystone from the 1.4 billion year old Velkerri formation, from northern Australia. The mats were dominated by cyanobacteria living on the bed of a shallow sea that covered northern Australia at the time. The organic matter contained lots of sulphur which was converted into pyrite during burial. You can sea the pyrite as the sparkly gold flecks in the close up of the black mats. This area of the sea was far from land so instead of depositing grains eroded from existing rocks, like sand, sediment chemically precipitated from the sea water. The sea was rich in iron and silica and so iron silicate clays formed on the sea bed. The iron is green because they're was little oxygen around for it to react with. This process of chemical sedimentation is very slow and so there was plenty of time for the mats to grow across the sea bed. This also means that other material can accumulate on the sediment that would be lost in areas of rapid sedimentation. So I've also found lots of volcanic ash and spherules in these layers. I've also found mysterious grains in these samples which may be impact spherules from a meteor impact, or perhaps even micrometeors too. We don't know what the banding represents. It could be seasonal growth of the mats, it could reflect how nutrient abundance changes, or could effect changes in the rate if sedimentation. It could even reflect all our none of the above. I'm going through these samples, documenting the sedimentary textures and deciding which samples I want to turn into thin sections to examine under the petro microscope, and then to digest in acid to extract the fossils from. #geologyjohnson #geologist #geology #geologyrocks #sedimentary #microbial #microbialmat #precambrian #mesoproterozoic #fossil #fossils #stromatolite #Australia #green #shale #mudstone #earlylife #proterozoic https://www.instagram.com/p/Cc-dI2mNRVF/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
