What if #pathogens are cooperating to survive? Our Editor’s Choice review by Ramirez-Mata et al. dives into how microbial cooperation drives evolution and host adaptation, with a particular focus on computational approaches. buff.ly/EZ120an #FEMSMicrobiolRev

How reliable are in vitro models for studying phage resistance? The 2025 microLife Article Award–winning study shows that resistance mechanisms selected in the lab can carry significant fitness costs in the gut: buff.ly/zE1Z8Rj

Max Häggblom, Editor-in-Chief of FEMS Microbiology Ecology, has been cited over 19,000 times. Safe to say he knows a thing or two about publishing. His advice to early career researchers? Don’t narrow your focus too early.

How do antifungals shape host immunity during infection? Shehata et al. shows that caspofungin not only reduces fungal burden but also amplifies host immune responses at the transcriptional level: buff.ly/uV8YV4h

The internet is flooded with AI-generated content, which can introduce inaccuracies and fail to educate. In this #FEMSmicroBlog, @DrBommel discusses how AI fits into scientific communication to create engaging and high-quality content. #CulturePlate buff.ly/cQW83fI

A new era of bacteriophage research is underway. microLife’s issue on Viruses of Microbes brings together studies exploring bacterial immunity, the role of phages in microbiomes, & their growing use in molecular biology & next-gen phage therapy. Explore: buff.ly/qrUxJHY

Supported by FEMS & the official journal of EAM, microLife focuses on rigorous, interdisciplinary microbiology & studies that move the field forward. If your work doesn’t fit neatly into one box, it could be a good home. Explore publishing with microLife: buff.ly/E4lGn2S

We asked Prof. Paola Branduandi, Professor at the University of Milano-Bicocca and Editorial Board Member of FEMS Yeast Research, why researchers should consider publishing in a society journal.

Some of the most interesting microbes are the ones we still barely understand. The FEMS Microbes webinar explored “microbial dark matter” from wasp-associated actinobacteria to new ways of profiling pathogens and anaerobic fungi. Now available to rewatch: buff.ly/ZLBVsOG
