Microbes are ‘unknown unknowns’ despite being vital to all life, says study theguardian.com/environment/20…

@BugsInYourGuts @BodenLab Tell us what you really think! It's like going back to 1997.

The number of species names validly published under the ICNP and registered in LPSN has just surpassed 20,000 lpsn.dsmz.de/text/numbers

How bacteria-eating bacteria could help win the war against germs nytimes.com/2020/08/25/sci… - very interesting article, although it would have been nice for the bacterial names to be italicized!

An dieser Stelle möchten wir uns ganz herzlich bei den Beschäftigten der DSMZ bedanken! Ihr habt euch flexibel der aktuellen Situation angepasst und haltet aus dem Homeoffice sowie im Labor unser Institut am Leben. Bleibt weiterhin alle GESUND und alles GUTE aus der Pressestelle

Here, Kostas, Rudi and me are reinforcing the fact that "Advantages outweigh concerns about using genome sequence as type material for prokaryotic taxonomy" sfamjournals.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/abs/10.111… Time runs & ICSP will soon decide the future of a unified/divided Taxonomy for cult & uncult Prok

LPSN has now relaunched as a service of the Leibniz Institute #DSMZ. The site has been completely redesigned with greatly improved browsing and searching, and will continue to be developed into the future. It will remain freely available! The new URL is lpsn.dsmz.de

LPSN has been acquired by Leibniz Institute #DSMZ. It will be integrated into the DSMZ’s Prokaryotic Nomenclature Up-to-date (PNU) database as an all-new service. This will ensure the long-term viability of LPSN, which will continue to be freely available to users.

Names in #IJSEM 68/8 (August 2018) have been added to LPSN, including four new genera: Ahniella, Ferrigenium, Solimicrobium and Xinfangfangia. @MicrobioSoc

@duncancraigucl @NGUegypt @School_Pharmacy @doctordeborah We grew some this year, too. They didn't look as nice as yours, but they were bigger. The food looks yummy.

I know this is trivial in the scheme of things but managed to (sort of) grow #aubergines for the first time. Got to find joy where you can. Turned them into tribute to wonderful food in recent trip to #Jordan #Egypt @NGUegypt

This month, new microbes have been discovered in places from the deepest part of the ocean to the Himalayas. Read more about these new microbes and where they were found in this month's #NewtoScience: microb.io/2yVamcF

@Trueperella Thanks, Kathy!

Names in Validation List no. 182 from the July 2018 issue of #IJSEM (68/7) were added to LPSN, including Saprospira class. nov., Endozoicomonadaceae fam. nov., Geminicoccaceae fam. nov., and three new genera, Arboricoccus, Ereboglobus and Parendozoicomonas
