To maintain genome integrity, extreme organisms like archaea rely heavily on repair pathways. This #FEMSmicroBlog explains how the halophile model organism Haloferax volcanii repairs DNA double strand breaks quickly and efficiently. #FascinatingMicrobes

In our latest podcast episode, we hear from Rachel Armstrong, Professor of Regenerative Architecture at KU Leuven (Belgium). Recorded during FEMS MICRO Milan 2025, we learn about the deep relationship between microbes and achitecture. #MicrobesAndUs Listen here: buff.ly/mSYN8qb

This week's #ThrowbackThursday takes us back to Milan, where more than 2,000 microbiologists 🦠 from 95 countries gathered 👥 under one roof for four dynamic days of collaboration 🤝 and exchange 💡. buff.ly/we8TWjD What was your favourite part about #FEMS2025? #Microbiology #Community

Congratulations to our Matthias for winning the @femsmicro.org international microorganism day microbe art contest for best photo and best overall! 🎉🦠 Biofilms truly are beautiful works of multicellular microbial architecture 🏛️ www.internationalmicroorganismday.org/microbeart

The FEMS Summer School in Macedonia was a truly rewarding experience.
I was very impressed by our ECRs, such a talented group! Huge thanks to the organisers Joanna, Tillmann, and Vaso, and to FEMS for inviting me to join as a mentor. @femsmicro.org @luederslab.bsky.social

A bit late to the party, but happy belated international microorganism day!

Happy International Microorganism Day! 🎉 Today, we are celebrating the tiny powerhouses that have a massive impact on our world. From the bacteria in our gut to the fungi that give us antibiotics, these incredible organisms are essential to life. Let's make some noise for the microscopic!

Thank you @femsmicro.org for helping to provide meeting support! www.shigella2026.conferences-pasteur.org/home

We will be talking about our favorite microorganism #Shigella at the @shigellameeting.bsky.social in April 2026! 🦠 🧫 @ksbakes.bsky.social @sergemostowylab.bsky.social @marteynlab.bsky.social

What's your favourite microorganism? 🦠🧪 Is it bad to say mine is Mycobacterium tuberculosis? I'm still trying to eradicate it from humans.

It’s International Microorganism Day! We asked the Society’s Champions to tell us about their favourite microbes and, our Champion, Eliza Wolfson, has created some fun illustrations to show you a bit more of their character! @eliza-coli.bsky.social @femsmicro.org #InternationalMicroorganismDay

Let us know about your tiny friends! Which one is your favorite microorganism???🦠🦠🦠

Do YOU have a favorite microbe?!

"On this date back in 1683, Antonie van Leeuwenhoek reported the first description of a single-celled organism with his letter to the Royal Society of London." fems-microbiology.org/internationa...

Happy International Microorganism Day, to my whole beautiful community! 🧫🔬🧪

For #InternationalMicroorganismDay, we asked our FEMS MICRO 2025 Keynote Speakers and FEMS Journal Editors "'What is your favourite microbe?'' With delightful answers, ranging over many microbes and personal stories, this was the perfect way to celebrate IMD 2025! #MicroSky youtu.be/oEJsWNJCtBw

If you missed #FEMS2025 this year, don't worry! You can still discover all the essential scientific discoveries and research highlights . The abstract book is available for download, allowing you to explore thought-provoking research and topics related to your field of study. buff.ly/SovBxxs

Archaea thrive in harsh niches that challenge DNA integrity. 🧬 In H. volcanii, Sailer et al. revealed Cas1 & Hel308a as new Microhomology-Mediated End Joining (MMEJ) players, expanding the toolkit for archaeal genomes repair. buff.ly/lnyY7JF

The annual FEMS Council meeting, held over two days in Seville, has concluded. Thank you to the Spanish Society of Microbiology for hosting. The efforts and dedication of FEMS Member Societies are integral to our mission of driving science forward and strengthening the impact of #microbiology.

Thanks @luederslab.bsky.social and @femsmicro.org for the opportunity to be a Summer School mentor. I had so much fun and I really hope FEMS will continue this programme in the future.
