Microbiologist in @justinecollier.bsky.social 's lab by day & Science Artist by night 🦄 ! Love living with, working with and drawing about microbes, especially bacteria! Open for commissions ♡ https://campsite.bio/noemiemattheyhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.socialhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m3dt26jarc2p#inktober day 16 with Blunder Here I was rather inspired by a happy accident. In 1928, Alexander Fleming discovered penicillin from a moldy Petri dish in his lab. But did you know that the mold most likely came from a mycologist, C. J. La Touche, who worked one floor below? #microbesky #sciart16 Oct 2025 22:36 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3dt26jarc2phttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m3b7nkh3jk23#inktober day 15 with Ragged It made me thought about the ragged edges observed on swarming motility plates. Swarming bacteria form beautiful patterns, worth of an art exhibition 🖼️ #microbesky #sciart #inktober202515 Oct 2025 21:44 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m3b7nkh3jk23https://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m344c4s5622f#inktober day 13 with Drink Microorganisms are essentials for fermentation in various products including beer, wine, kefir or kombucha. With some friends we've already brewed our own beer, but lately I've become a huge fan of water kefir (especially with ginger). #inktober2025 #microbesky #sciart13 Oct 2025 21:00 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m344c4s5622fhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2zpq6km722j#Inktober days 11 + 12 with Sting & Shredded Phages invade bacteria. Some bacteria fight back, cutting the phage DNA into small fragments with restriction enzymes. These "scissors", which are part of RMS, can degrade foreign DNA, while leaving the bacteria's own DNA unharmed. #microbesky #sciart12 Oct 2025 22:10 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2zpq6km722jhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2tokxqnrk2z#Inktober days 8 and 9 combined - Reckless & Heavy The reckless use of antibiotics in humans, animals and plants is the main driver in the development of antimicrobial resistance pathogens. As one of the top global threats, AMR places a heavy burden on public health. #inktober2025 #microbesky10 Oct 2025 12:34 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2tokxqnrk2zhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2pnce5ec22j#inktober day 7 - Starfish Did you know that there are bacteria, called Stella vacuolata, with a star-shape ? When autumn begins, they're usually two different mindests: - Those who are already looking forward to the winter holidays 🎄 - And the fall lovers 🎃 #inktober2025 #sciart #microbesky08 Oct 2025 22:00 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2pnce5ec22jhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2mzbklwcc2k#inktober day 6 with #Pierce I am a day late, but the prompt for yesterday inspired me more than the one of today. I could not resist drawing a specific nanoweapon called the type 6 secretion system. In some bacteria like Vibrio cholerae, it is firing at random... So the unexpected can happen.07 Oct 2025 20:56 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2mzbklwcc2khttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2hzdwwxus2d#inktober day 5 with Deer That one was tricky. When a deer or any organism dies, microbes begin the decomposition process, returning nutrients to the soil. #inktober2025 #sciart05 Oct 2025 21:14 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2hzdwwxus2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2fmywmr3s2l#inktober day 4 with Murky They are some places where you expect murky water (or rather medium) and some places where you don't. Poor little guy 🐟 #inktober2025 #sciart04 Oct 2025 22:28 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2fmywmr3s2lhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2czqyqwlk2y#inktober day 3 with #Crown And here is our 👑 Queen B (Queen Bacterium) : E. coli It is a ubiquitous bacterium. It is the "lab rat" of microbiology. And it is also a common resident of our gut. Which bacterium would you have named as our Queen B? #inktober2025 #sciart03 Oct 2025 21:38 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2czqyqwlk2yhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m2anghaa5k2a#inktober day 2 with #Weave Cyanobacteria form interwoven patterns. The micrographs from paper by J. Cammann et al, in Nat. Comm. Physics (2024) inspired me. Today was less about googly eyes and more about focusing on the feel of my pens. Having fun by playing with different brush and pen sizes.02 Oct 2025 22:53 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m2anghaa5k2ahttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3m25icvyr7223It's #Inktober once more, time to grab some pen and paper. Will you join? The first prompt is #Mustache, and this distinguished gentlebacterium is using one of its flagellum as a mustache. #inktober2025 #inktoberday1 #sciart01 Oct 2025 16:43 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3m25icvyr7223https://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3ll4m4zdcoc2vThe latest Preprint of the @justinecollier.bsky.social lab is out there !

For the first letter/drawing of the book, I chose to only use my fav colour!09 Mar 2025 14:06 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3ljx7i6nhl22ehttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3latpoxnc7y2pIt's really nice to see the huge flow of new people coming here! Maybe it's time for a quick presentation. Hi 👋 I'm Noémie, I love science 🧬 and especially microbes 🔬 I do scientific illustrations for paper, cover or logo. And I'm the illustrator behind the Bacterial World blog: sarahs-world.blog13 Nov 2024 15:59 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3latpoxnc7y2phttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3kba5x4t6pw2d#Intkober23 combining day 5 to day 8 with Map, Golden, Drip and Toad! Cupriavidus metallidurans is a #bacterium that lives in the soil where it can ingest toxic metallic compound. They don't get poisoned and in the process they produce tiny #gold nuggets. How cool is that?! #sciart #scicomm08 Oct 2023 09:19 +0000at://did:plc:44xf46dkcprvoe5qe6ncbl2p/app.bsky.feed.post/3kba5x4t6pw2dhttps://bsky.app/profile/noemiematthey.bsky.social/post/3kauww4l4hl2q#inktober2023 day 3 - Path Maybe this little bug is ready for a new adventure in a human body.
