I'm finishing up my first year in college, and I recently decided I want to follow the molecular biology path (and eventually specialize in genetics). Soon after, I found this channel, which really cemented my love for this niche, somewhat new user unfriendly topic. All of your videos are incredibly entertaining and informative, and are just perfect in many ways. Keep up the great work !
If you don't want to get stuck in the paper mill, consider pharmacology. Like petro-chemistry it has a big money pool that's not connected to uni grants,
When I went to school, we were still taking about how fungi were a fifth, separate “kingdom” of life. You learn this things that are supposed to be fundamental but if you don’t keep up on science news, it’s easy for the information to become outdated. Thank goodness for RUclipsrs making educational and semi-educational content!
You know Fungi, Animalia, Plants, Protoctista (no idea how to spell it right) are the kingdoms with the Prokayots being the 5th but its proposed that dominions should be added which would be Bacteria & Archea. Basically you aren't wrong its more they just are kinda adding something above.
@@id-f86 Kingdoms are different to dominions. Dominions are like super kingdoms because for every species we have in the eukaryotes we have a few thousand or maybe million in the Archea & Bacteria.
My gut (bacteria) says this channel will explode in popularity soon. Just binged all of your videos, and *mwah* chef's kiss. Excellent from top to bottom. Also, I got to be here before you even hit 10k subs. Now to sit back and watch my Shigella dysenteriae's predictions. Wait a minute. Aw crap...
I wonder if the reason why the acidophile enzymes seem to work better at lower pHs than their cytoplasm tends to be at is because their cell walls sometimes rupture or they can go through periods where they take in tons of acid for maybe some unknown metabolic reason every now and then. So normally they'll remain at those unoptimal pHs but can easily work in those situations they need them the most(like when the cell wall is damaged). Also enjoyed the video, got to learn some new neat things (:.
I took a class last semester that focused a lot on human evolution, and we learned about how the diversity of the gut microbiome has decreased significantly with the advent of agriculture and especially recently with how sanitized everything is. I wonder if we used to have a lot more archaea in our guts too, but those also got wiped out? If certain bacteria can’t survive with these changing conditions and diets, it would make sense that many archaea would struggle just as much if not more due to needing such a specific environment. Have any studies been done to look at what species of archaea used to be in human / species related to human gut biomes, like what have been done with bacteria?
Asgardian is such a roundabout name. Asgard means the Enclosure of the Aesir, which makes the Asgardian the people leaving in Enclouser of the Aesir. So it is a really roundabout way of referring to the Aesir (the group of Gods that included Odin, his son Thor, and kind of included Odin's blood brother Loki, since Loki was also a Jötunn).
My current theory is that the niche-specific nature of Archea makes it difficult for them to survive the sort of disruption and environmental fluctuation that they themselves would create if they became pathogenic. Bacteria are potentially frustrating pathogens in part because they don't necessarily _have_ to live inside of a host, and that means they are generally able to survive their host environment suddenly destabilizing due to their own antics If Archea are, as i suspect, dependent on more stable conditions than bacteria, then the ones that make a host sick will inherently reduce their own fitness, in the same manner as we would by cutting down every single tree on earth for fuel Edit: ah, another person beat me to the punch on that idea. Still, i think the concept holds enough water
wild idea what if the pathogenic archeaens were so hard to kill that the eukaryotes that survived were forced to adapt against them so strongly that they weren't pathogenic anymore idk maybe that's how we got eukaryotes in the first place; a lucky archeaen was infected by a bacterium and the only ones which survived the infection were those who could survive in the cyoplasmic environment that the invader created
I had just suscribed after watching the previous video and a day later already got a notification of a new video! I love the steady amount of content! I also love how Phil read a comment left by his follower. I had just read it when the first part was posted. It was great to see how I had read it a day before and then watching the reply included in the second part! ❤
Archaea is pretty cool and mysterious. It's a great video. I had earlier applied for a bioinformatics PhD position with PROHIT(Prokaryote proteomics at high temperature for single cells). I had come across Archaea in that context.
You should do a livestream where you react and provide context to viewer requested interesting scientific papers (probably only open access papers due to copyright) Also one day can you make a discord server for the channel?
1) That kind of thing is actually a membership incentive At some in early May, I will be covering a topic suggested by a member involving homebrew biohacking! I gate it behind membership so that I can keep that kind of content parallel to my longer video stuff. While the suggestions are members-only, I will always publish all educational content from my channel for free. 2) There are plans for a discord server come summer time
You've earned a subscription during my lengthy procrastination of c programming an ordered tree implementation. I need to know when you're gonna look at Yersinia Pestis and whether or not your going to look at both pneumonic and sanguinic forms of the disease and more importantly if I got those names for lung and blood infection right respectively?
Well actually everything can be a toxin. It really depends on the amount of something you take. A watter can even be classified as medicine in certain amount, but if you drank 6l of watter in a day you would certainly die. Same with caffeine and actually same with everything that can be injested.
More and more research is showing that. Phylogenetically Eukaryota should already be Archaea with what we have found. It's probably going to take a decade or more for that change to happen.

Molecular biology is what I studied! No regrets there- plenty of interesting stories for you to pursue.

Real ones remember Monera Kingdom
You know Fungi, Animalia, Plants, Protoctista (no idea how to spell it right) are the kingdoms with the Prokayots being the 5th but its proposed that dominions should be added which would be Bacteria & Archea. Basically you aren't wrong its more they just are kinda adding something above.
@cillianennis9921 my school taught that all of those were kingdoms, so I assumed it was an agreed upon thing

@cillianennis9921 oh alright 👍

Same! Very high quality and informative videos are going to make the algorithm go brrrrr

That COULD act as an automatic balancing factor to prevent excess production under calm conditions, I suppose. Like a Deadman switch

I'm not even a biology nerd, I specialize in CS and Math
and yet this is cool enough that you have gained a new sub

This channel is so underrated
I took up to before Orgo & some human bio during my CS degree, I appreciate these videos 🫶

The way you described IMO sounds like the overgrowth of the Archean is the symptom.. and not the pathogen
My favorite pathogen: the liver.

It's definitely on the list
Your videos are amazing
You gotta do Naegleria Fowleri or Fatal Insomnia. Very peculiar diseases.

Would love a video about the microbial consortia like chlorochromatium aggregatum :)
It was just fabulous
YOUNG FUCKING CELLDON?! OMFG!
I love this channel 😋
So Archaea are the Koalas of microorganisms?
Hi! Luv the content. BTW is caffeine a neurotransmitter or neurotoxin?
Both Caffeine Can Kill if to much It is Also a Neurotransmitter it helps the energy and power up Good Question
@@DrHamidSCP2342 Thanks
Well actually everything can be a toxin. It really depends on the amount of something you take. A watter can even be classified as medicine in certain amount, but if you drank 6l of watter in a day you would certainly die. Same with caffeine and actually same with everything that can be injested.
@@Mappinginanutshell no problem
I find bacteriophages interesting, maybe a video hmg?
Check out the third long video of the channel
Shouldn't you be called Phy the Basophile? Since basophyles are blue and neutrophiles more or less gray.
starcraft 2 reference omg
Yoo new video :D
Aren't we eukaryotes also Asgardians?
More and more research is showing that. Phylogenetically Eukaryota should already be Archaea with what we have found. It's probably going to take a decade or more for that change to happen.
Hi Come to Live pls
No it’s cancer.
@@parmesanzero7678 what you mean cancer
Interesting content, but the background music was awful and distracting.
Thanks for sharing
