2025 10th ASM Conference on Biofilms Nov. 9-13, 2025, Portland, Oregon Pre-conference Early Career Scientist Symposium (Nov. 9) asm.org/Events/ASM-B...

All biofilm enthusiasts! Don’t miss Biofilms 11! This interdisciplinary conference will take place in Cardiff, UK, on May 13-15, 2025! 🦠🧫✨ Abstract submissions are open until 3 Feb 2025: Submit now! t.ly/uJmeD #Biofilms11 #microsky @ukbiofilms.bsky.social @microbiologysociety.org

We're hiring a Research Associate/Lab Manager! Join us at Montana State University to work on bacterial pathogenesis research in the Microbiology & Cell Biology Department. Apply here: jobs.montana.edu/postings/44973

🚨Calling all undergrads!🚨 Apply now for an REU (Research Experience for Undergraduates) at @MontanaState! 🔬 Dates: May 27 - Aug 2, 2025 🧫 Research microbial communities in low oxygen environments. Applications due Feb 13, 2025. More info: www.montana.edu/mbi/reu/

We found that many bacterial species use exogenous peptidoglycan fragments - released by lysis of neighboring cells - as a general danger signal, triggering a danger response that protects bacteria against many dangers: biofilm formation. Details here 👇 www.nature.com/articles/s41...
