A new study could help consumer goods manufacturers to predict the likelihood of mold growth during shipping, enabling them to make informed decisions and mitigate economic losses.
Discover how scientists leverage knowledge of the microbial interactions that impact plant and animal health.
Read storyWhile the usage of fungi as medicinal solutions has led to important scientific advancements, it has also placed potentially overwhelming pressure on certain fungal species and their natural habitats.
There is increasing evidence that this association between a host and its microbes not only determines health and disease but also influences the behaviour of humans and other animals.
As global warming raises sea temperatures, the effects have altered aquatic life - especially in microbial communities.
The Microbiologist provides detailed information on the latest research, topics, reviews, events and news on a wide variety of microbiological topics.

Public sector data associated with health are a highly valuable resource, yet in practice data-sharing poses multiple challenges. Dr Nicola Holden, from AMI’s One Health Scientific Advisory Group, explores the murky morass of big data.
With governments under pressure to deliver on Net Zero targets, doomism in climate communication threatens to backfire and deter audiences from taking action. But microbiology’s stories of hope could be the inspiration we need.
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.
Dr Nils Averesch, Assistant Professor of Space Biology at the Space Life Science Laboratory, Cape Canaveral, reveals how his research on microbial plastic production could pave the way for thriving human settlements in space.
The Space Microbiology Group studies how microorganisms behave in space conditions, using tools such as microbiology, molecular biology, system biology and geomicrobiology to learn how new biotechnologies could be applied to space.
Discover the role, the challenges, and key opportunities for the future.
A new study suggests the Mediterranean diet’s brain-boosting benefits may work by changing the balance of bacteria in the gut.
A study reveals that the structure of milk fat globules, rather than their chemical composition, plays a key role in their interactions with bacteria. Small globules promote the growth of beneficial bacteria like Bacillus subtilis, while larger ones trigger biofilm formation.
Researchers found that protective microorganisms were present at higher rates in non-Native women compared with Native American women.

Researchers have developed a novel MST detection method using CrAss-like phages that is capable of specifically detecting human feces-contaminated water.
A groundbreaking study has unveiled the evolutionary journey of brown algae through a comprehensive genomic analysis of 44 species, including key evolutionary milestones, such as the transition from unicellular to multicellular forms.
