Twisted Bacteria is my science blog, focused on microbiology and, especially, bacteria of the actinomycete group. The blog title was inspired by the name of a common actinomycete: "Streptomyces", where "strepto" comes from the Greek for "twisted, twined" (I tried to draw something like a twisting mycelium for the logotype).
From page:
" Today's breathtaking advances in medicine and biology depend on the fundamental laws of heredity discovered nearly 150 years ago by an Augustinian friar working in a garden. Our special exhibit, "Gregor Mendel: Planting the Seeds of Genetics," presents Mendel's life and work, charts the rise of Genetics and introduces you to some "Modern Mendels," present-day scientists who are building upon his discoveries.
