A concept for international societally relevant microbiology education and microbiology knowledge promulgation in society.

Executive Summary: Microbes are all pervasive in their distribution and influence on the functioning and well-being of humans, life in general and the planet. Microbially-based technologies contribute hugely to the supply of important goods and services we depend upon, such as the provision of food, medicines and clean water. They also offer mechanisms and strategies to mitigate and solve a wide range of problems and crises facing humanity at all levels, including those encapsulated in the sustainable development goals (SDGs) formulated by the United Nations.

Draft genome sequence of sp. 37f isolated from forest soil.

In this study, we report the draft genome sequence data of sp. 37f, isolated from soil beneath Roxb. in Thailand.

Draft genome sequence of strain ASL-17.

We report here the genome sequence of moderately halophilic ASL-17, isolated from hypersaline sediment from the Yellow Sea, Korea. The bacterium was Gram variable, oval or coccoid, and mesophilic. The genome of ASL-17 has 3.

Bacteria stretch and bend oil to feed their appetite.

Microbes reshape oil droplets to speed biodegradation.

The archaeal class and astrobiology: Knowledge gaps and research opportunities.

Water bodies on Mars and the icy moons of the outer solar system are now recognized as likely being associated with high levels of salt. Therefore, the study of high salinity environments and their inhabitants has become increasingly relevant for Astrobiology. Members of the archaeal class are the most successful microbial group living in hypersaline conditions and are recognized as key model organisms for exposure experiments.
