Arctic viruses employ specialized mechanisms, including cryoprotective genes, to thrive in harsh environmental conditions despite limited host availability, reveals Dr Janina Rahlff from our Ocean Sustainability Advisory Group.
Delve into the multi-facteted world of cheese production, discovering some of the major microbes, risks, and strategies for mitigation.
Read storyAlthough tiny in structure, microRNA could have a huge impact on understanding life and unlocking the advancement of technologies.
Infectious pancreatic necrosis (IPN) virus has long been a persistent threat to aquaculture, particularly the salmonid industry. Could the evolutionary fitness of IPNV, governed by quasi-species theory and high mutation rates, lead to a new outbreak.
Over the last decade, there has been a paradigm shift from investigating single organisms and single target treatments towards studying the totality of an environment.

Aquaculture is essential for meeting the growing global demand for fish. But in order to expand fish farming in a sustainable manner, innovative efforts are crucial.
Is it acceptable to prioritize production over welfare?
The recent release of the marine fuel specification standard will play a key role in determining the future of biofuel feedstocks – ultimately deciding the winners and losers in this evolving market.
One year into our first Junior Editor training programme with Letters in Applied Microbiology, Dr Thomas Thompson of Queen’s University Belfast tells us how he is getting on.
Tamsin Dewé, Anju Kirby and Rachel Baird explain how the UK’s PATH-SAFE programme has filled evidence gaps relating to AMR in animals and furthered our understanding of AMR transmission pathways within agri-food systems.
Kamaluddeen Kabir, lecturer at Umaru Musa Yar’adua University, reports back from a recent trip to EcoMat Conference in Newcastle-upon-Tyne, supported with a Professional Development Support Grant from AMI.
Researchers have engineered a probiotic that delivers immunotherapy directly to the gut to shrink tumors in mice, offering a potentially promising oral drug for hard-to-reach cancers.
Malaria, particularly in its severe forms, remains a global health and economic burden. It causes the deaths of more than 600,000 people every year – most of them African children under five. In a new study, published in the journal Nature, researchers from EMBL Barcelona, the University of Texas, the ...
Researchers found 62 proteins specific to spores of Aspergillus fumigatus, a fungal species that causes lung disease. The study showed that at least one of these proteins inhibits human human defense mechanisms.
A new study has found that substituting two tablespoons of pure maple syrup for refined sugars reduced several cardiometabolic risk factors in humans.
River microbes found near wastewater treatment plants expressed high levels of antibiotic resistance genes, reveals a study of the presence and function of microbes in rivers covering 90% of the watersheds in the continental U.S.
