Researchers have developed a powerful, personalized modeling framework to predict whether Clostridioides difficile is likely to colonize an individual’s gut, and to test whether specific probiotic therapies might prevent and/or reverse that colonization.
A technological shift is transforming the biomanufacturing landscape. Robotics and AI are no longer futuristic concepts, they are reshaping microbiology labs, enabling scientists to tackle once-intractable problems and accelerate innovation.
Read storyWe are constantly exposed to things in our environment from the medicines we take and contaminants in the food we eat, to particles in the air we breathe. Figuring out which chemicals are harmful and how they affect us, is essential to make our surroundings safer.
We understand the water cycle and the flow of nutrients in ecological systems, but might microbial life also follow a cyclical, interconnected pattern, and how does that look with regards to food production?
Agriculture is at a pivotal moment in history, and the sector needs to adopt new ideas to survive and flourish. AI and Machine Learning are no longer futuristic concepts; they are transforming farming today and helping to solve problems that have persisted for a long time.
The Microbiologist provides detailed information on the latest research, topics, reviews, events and news on a wide variety of microbiological topics.

The German Research Foundation (DFG) President Professor Dr Katja Becker issued a stark warning about the “war on science” and the need for solidarity at the organisation’s annual meeting in July. The Microbiologist reports her speech in full.
We are currently living through a period of AI boom. But as the AI fatigue starts settling in, should microbiologists be racing to embed AI into every pipeline?
The gut microbiome is considered a key determinant in human health. Yet, as attention and claims have grown, so has the gap between evidence and interpretation. How much does diet really influence the microbiome?
When petroleum engineers Amit Priyadarshan and Anandh Mathew founded Caliche Private Limited in 2018, their initial vision was not limited to the oil and gas sector they knew so well. Instead, they were driven by a bigger challenge: climate change.
Discover how startup Funga is harnessing the soil microbiome to transform how we manage Earth’s forests.
The Microbiologist gets to know our Global Ambassador for India, Dr. Durgesh Kumar Jaiswal, who is Assistant Professor at the Department of Biosciences, Graphic Era University, Dehradun, specializing in microbial biotechnology and sustainable agriculture.
In mice, maternal antibodies ingested in breast milk in the first week after birth help to regulate immune responses in the newborn gut, according to a new study.
A first look into the molecular defenses of archaea highlights the importance of surveying diverse microbes to discover new types of antimicrobials.
The human papillomavirus (HPV) can cause six types of cancer, yet new analysis shows that most people are unaware of the connection between HPV and all of these cancers.
Normally discarded, green beans from the Arara cultivar were subjected to airless fermentation and produced high-quality beverages in blind tests. Researchers see potential for the product to be valued in domestic and foreign markets.
Antibiotic resistance in the environment is a growing and largely overlooked crisis receiving inconsistent attention, according to a new study. Worryingly few studies have explored how antibiotic resistance spreads in the air, oceans or green spaces.
A new study has revealed that tiny planktonic crustaceans carry a unique microbial signature that better reflects ocean currents and environmental gradients than microbes found freely in seawater.
