NewsScientists uncover mechanism that could weaken virulence of Pseudomonas aeruginosa
Researchers have found a mechanism that makes it possible to weaken the virulence of opportunistic bacterial pathogen Pseudomonas aeruginosa - based on this knowledge, a new approach for antibiotics can be developed.

NewsScientists create 3D image of the symbiotic communities around plant roots
Researchers report that microbial community composition varies along the root and that this is influenced by the root spatial metabolism.

News“Honey, I shrunk the cookbook” – new approach to vaccine development
Bioinformaticians have presented a method for identifying epitopes that promise safe immunisation across the broadest possible population group.

NewsResearch reveals how Halopseudomonas devours polyester urethane
Researchers have shown how bacteria of the genus Halopseudomonas break down common plastic coatings made of polyester urethane, underlying the relevance of the newly isolated bacterium for the biodegradation of plastics.
-
NewsBacteria lay the foundations for their descendants
Researchers investigating a sea anemone microbiome found that the bacterial community is primarily controlled by the host organism during the early stages of life, while bacteria-bacteria interactions play the lead role in subsequent development.
-
NewsMolecular mechanisms of fungal infections clarified
Researchers have clarified how fungal infections are regulated at molecular level, potentially leading to the development of new antifungal agents.

NewsCyanobacteria membrane proteins similar to animals’
A dynamin-like protein, namely SynDLP, has been identified in the genome of a cyanobacterium.

NewsFlagellate study reveals how cells gain control over their bacterial symbionts
A research team has cast fresh light on how eukaryotic cells integated bacteria in the course of evolution to become organelles, thanks to a study of the single-celled flagellate Angomonas deanei, which contains a bacterium that was taken up relatively recently.
