#FEMSmicroBlog: Recent developments in phage research for World Phage Day
Bacteriophages, or phages, are the most abundant biological entities on earth. Yet this enormous viral reservoir remains underexplored. Isolating and characterizing novel phages, especially from non-model hosts, would not only deepen our fundamental understanding of phage…

#FEMSmicroBlog: Back to basics for life in extreme environments
Understanding why some microorganisms can survive conditions too extreme for humans may start with microbiology. But it does not necessarily end there. Instead, extremophile microbiology draws from multiple disciplines including molecular biology, biochemistry, geochemistry,…

#FEMSmicroBlog: Outreach as a core mission for World Teacher’s Day
Microbiology has never been more relevant to society. Yet, despite their profound impact on our lives, public understanding of the microbial world remains surprisingly limited. As this year’s World Teachers’ Day highlights the vital role teachers play in creating a better…

#FEMSmicroBlog: Novel tools to engineer non-conventional yeasts
Yeasts are well-known producers of bread, beer, and wine as well as fuels, chemicals, and medicines. Scientists have become especially interested in the lesser-known species Komagataella phaffii, Yarrowia lipolytica, and Ogataea polymorpha and their remarkable metabolisms for…

#FEMSmicroBlog: An archaeon on a two-week journey to Mars
The environmental conditions of early Earth closely resembled those of early Mars. Since extremely thermoacidophilic microorganisms represent potential life forms on early Earth, they are excellent candidates for astrobiological research. In particular, the production of…

#FEMSmicroBlog: Microplastics impact maize and strawberry rhizosphere microbiomes
Plastic materials have transformed our daily lives, including farming. But plastic residues impact our soils, even though we do not fully understand how. Soil microbes are a key component in understanding the impacts of microplastics on soil processes and plant health. This is…

microLife Webinar on CRISPR-Cas functions in defence and beyond
CRISPR-Cas systems are best known as adaptive immune defences that protect bacteria and archaea from invading genetic elements—but their biology, diversity and applications reach far beyond targeted DNA cleavage. In this FEMS webinar, featuring authors from microLife,…
