Electrical signaling is well known in animals and plants. But fungi? This FEMS Microbiology Reviews paper examines evidence for electrical activity in filamentous fungi and the challenges in studying it: Read the review: buff.ly/AtijJQ4

Plants are powered by an entire hidden microbiome. Orozco-Mosqueda et al. reviewed how beneficial endophytic and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi support plant growth and could play a key role in sustainable agriculture under climate change. #FEMSMicrobiolRev buff.ly/ybGWIAk

What happens when you train a transformer on 123 million bacterial proteins Bacteria have been fighting viruses for billions of years. To do it, they have evolved a remarkable diversity of antiphage defense systems — molecular immune machines that detect and destroy invading

Many microbes can transfer electrons beyond the cell membrane, using metals and other compounds in respiration. This FEMS Microbiology Ecology thematic issue explores this process and its versatility across environmental and applied systems. buff.ly/6y01d8B

Saccharomyces cerevisiae plays a vital role in brewing, baking & food biotechnology, but its performance declines under high salt conditions typical of industrial fermentations. This #JournalSpectrum article looks to food-grade osmolytes as a solution: asm.social/2Tp

New Asgard paper dropped yesterday. This is only the third Asgard archaeon to be cultured in the laboratory (the first took 10+ years of work.) Many microbiologists think that the Asgard archaea are the closest living relatives of the ancestor that gave rise to eukaryotic cells.

Excited to share our article in Trends in Microbiology . We discuss how microbes can simultaneously use oxygen and alternative electron acceptors, reshaping how we think about respiration. We also discuss the evolutionary context and how it may be studied. sciencedirect.com/science/articl…

Kombucha fermentation depends on a symbiosis of yeasts and bacteria. The 2025 FEMS Yeast Research Article Award winner analysed 23 starters and found a consistent microbial core across origins: Read the award winning article: buff.ly/RqHpaDp

For decades, biology textbooks have enshrined a simple rule: DNA is made by copying a template. After one enzyme unzips a DNA double helix into separate strands, another called a polymerase builds a complementary sequence, base by base, for each strand. Presto: two copies of the
