🆕 Blog! We catch up with scientists and @nnuh.bsky.social clinicians working together on a pioneering project to learn more about the role of gut microbiome in childhood obesity ⤵️ buff.ly/TwvNcZT

this week on BugBitten - Daniel Parsons writes about the Molecular compatibility of #malaria parasites in #mosquito vectors - discussing a paper in Nature Communications @natureportfolio.nature.com @danielparsons.bsky.social @springernature.com communities.springernature.com/posts/molecu...

Inspired by interest from our readers and authors, we are casting our eyes out into the oceans this month. Here are some of the marine microbiome papers published recently across the Microbiome Family tinyurl.com/54rs4a93 @jacquesravel.bsky.social @joyemwatts.bsky.social

Can the microbiome of soils be shaped 'by vaccinating the soil' to protect against pathogenic nematode? #worldmicrobiomeday communities.springernature.com/posts/guardi...

What is microbiome research and makes a good microbiome study? In their Editorial, the Senior Editors of Microbiome highlight the challenges of microbiome research and what they are looking for in submissions. microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10.... #worldmicrobiomeday

A vacancy in @bioinf.bsky.social team -2.5 year post on food-associated changes in gut microbiomes.... please see original post for more details

Happy to announce that we have a new 2.5 year post on food-associated changes in gut microbiomes. We are looking for a strong bioinformatician with experience in metagenomics, metabolic modelling, functional genomics, system biology. (application deadline 20.7.25) quadram.ac.uk/vacancies/me...

Just reading this perspective by @gilbertjacka.bsky.social and colleagues: the Microbiota Vault Initiative is important for environmental and human health, and aims to foster equitable collaboration www.nature.com/articles/s41... @nature.com

While we are all celebrating #WorldMicrobiomeDay, just a reminder that @natmicrobiol.nature.com, @natcomms.nature.com, @natmed.nature.com, and @commsmed.nature.com are calling in papers on Clinical Microbiome. 😊 #MicroSky #MicrobiomeSky www.nature.com/articles/s41...

plasmid are shaped more by ecological factors than geography. Certain plasmids play a major role in spreading resistance genes, including via air as a potential long-distance vector. #worldmicrobiomeday www.youtube.com/watch?v=HpWT...

As part of our focus on AMR for #worldmicrobiomeday we are sharing 'What's mine might be yours too' - looking at the sharing of respirator microbiomes and antimicrobial resistance genes in healthy populations www.youtube.com/watch?v=dED3...

Today's highlight: "A blueprint for contemporary studies of microbiomes" as part of 'Microbiome 101: what you need to know' theme for #worldmicrobiomeday @jacquesravel.bsky.social @laurebindels.bsky.social @sharonhuws.bsky.social microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Today, as part of our #WorldMicrobiomeDay - Focus on AMR series, we look at DRAMMA - a computational method that uses machine learning to predict ARGs (antimicrobial resistance genes) ##https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6jEQFZ_wT_Y @davidburstein.bsky.social @jacquesravel.bsky.social

As part of our #WorldMicrobiomeDay - Focus on AMR series, we would like to highlight this recent paper for Microbiome looking at overcoming AMR in agricultural soils using phages www.youtube.com/watch?v=4VtL...

Microbiome is so varied and has important real-world applications & implications. Springer Nature's World Microbiome blog highlights several key Microbiome, Environmental Microbiome and Animal Microbiome papers communities.springernature.com/posts/world-...

Engineering soil with phages to fight #AMR. Very cool. "Harnessing phage consortia to mitigate the soil antibiotic resistome by targeting keystone taxa Streptomyces" by Hanpeng Liao et al. in @microbiomej.bsky.social microbiomejournal.biomedcentral.com/articles/10....

Press release for our latest publication in @microbiomej.bsky.social www.uab.edu/news/researc... #science #research #microbiome #fungi #premiee #BPD

Editors from Microbiome and Environmental Microbiome will be attending the 6th Plant Microbiome symposium in Malaga in November. Come and say hello :) #PMS2025

We think that such efforts are essential to push the boundaries of our knowledge on microbiomes in a concerted, international effort. If your manuscript fit these expectations, please submit it to Microbiome ! @microbiomej.bsky.social With Joy Watts, Kevin Theis, Víctor Carrion, Adam Ossowicki,
