FEMS

Congratulations and thanks to @femsmicro.org @femsjournals.bsky.social for highlighting the excellent work of early career researchers!

Pleased to share this blog post about our recent work in FEMS Microbiology looking at aquatic microbial community responses to pollutants: fems-microbiology.org/femsmicroblo...
#FEMSmicroBlog #FascinatingMicrobes

FEMS is proud to acknowledge Marine Hemmerle , who won the best poster prize at last week's "Yeast 2025" conference.

Her outstanding poster was on "Identification and characterization of yeast vacuolar proteome" . Marine is pictured here with Cristina Mazzoni 🔬, an Editor of FEMS Yeast Research.

The microbial communities of freshwater adapt rapidly to changing environmental conditions such as chemical pollution. 🦠

This #FEMSmicroBlog explores whether microbial communities could serve as early warning indicators of pollution in aquatic ecosystems. #FascinatingMicrobes

Counting soil microbial communities: the impact of qPCR platform and mastermix on accuracy and precision qPCR is used to measure soil microorganisms but can be affected by inhibitors, change in mastermix, and platform. This study measured precision and accurac

If you do #qPCR on soils you might be interested in this paper led by @aoifeduff.bsky.social @femsmicro.org which shows the effect of mastermix, sample type, platform and gene target on the inhibition, precision and accuracy of quantification academic.oup.com/femsec/artic...

Already two weeks ago @femsmicro.org #FEMS2025 in Milan, where I had the chance to both present my research and chair a session. Covered key topics in microbiome research, bioinformatics, and microbial dynamics. Solid talks, good discussions, connected with brilliant colleagues

Sensing mechanisms like the toxin-antitoxin system play crucial roles for bacteria to adapt to environmental challenges.

On this #FEMSmicroBlog, Marie-Laure Pinel-Marie explains some of the diverse and complex cues that activate toxin-antitoxin systems. #FascinatingMicrobes

That's a wrap on #FEMS2025 in beautiful Milan! The biggest thanks to @kimingeneva.bsky.social for the invitation to co-chair & present in the very cool Microbial Dark Matter session with 3 other wonderful speakers! I loved all the great talks/posters & hope to return to @femsmicro.org in 2027 🤗🦠🧫

I've had the most fabulous few days at #FEMS2025! Made so many lovely friends, expanded my networks and learned so much from everyone. Hope to see you all in Ljubljana in 2027! #microsky

I had to leave #FEMS2025 before the closing ceremony but I left on a high note after finding out that I received the @femsmicro.org Microbiology Ecology Poster Prize, awarded by Max Häggblom!

The email showing I won entrance to the FEMS conference.

I would not have been here was it not for this prize draw at @microbiologysociety.org’s conference in Liverpool- thank you to @femsmicro.org for the opportunity and for my ever wonderful and long-suffering PI @wvschaik.bsky.social for letting me run with it and come over to Milan!
