John Innes – Ruđer Bošković Summer Schools on Applied Molecular Microbiology – “Microbial Specialised Metabolites: From Genome to Molecule”

Date: September 8th-16th, 2018

Venue: Dubrovnik, Croatia

Under the auspices of the Federation of European Microbiological Societies (FEMS) and Croatian Microbiological Society (CMS), seventh in this series of summer schools will be at the Inter-University Centre (IUC) in Dubrovnik, 8 – 16 September 2018, with the title “Microbial Specialised Metabolites: From Genome to Molecule”. The summer school is organized by John Innes Center (UK) and Ruđer Bošković Institute (Croatia). The co-directors of the course are Barrie Wilkinson and Mervyn Bibb (John Innes Centre), Greg Challis (University of Warwick) and Duška Vujaklija (Ruđer Bošković Institute, the president of the Section for Bacteriology and an active CMS member).

The summer school reflects the recent development of interest in microbial metabolites that has resulted from the sequencing of small molecule-producing microorganisms, coupled with the current explosive development of sequencing technology, bioinformatics and chemical analysis. Ecological studies highlighting the wide range of roles for small molecules in microbial communities provide another major driving force.

These summer schools have established a reputation for the quality of the faculty and participants (about 40) and the high degree of productive interaction during the week-long courses. A special feature of the summer school will be hands-on computer workshops to annotate genomes and analyse natural product gene clusters.

We warmly invite CMS members to apply for the summer school.

The deadline for applications is 31^st May 2018.

For The First Time, Scientists Have Caught Bacteria “Fishing” For DNA From Their Dead Friends

Bacteria are slippery little suckers. They evolve rapidly, developing resistance to antibiotics and therefore becoming increasingly difficult to deal with. Now, for the first time, researchers have caught on film one of the mechanisms the microbes use for this speedy evolution.

Moćni mikrobi – prikaz knjige Mighty Microbes – The Amazing World of Microorganisms

Skupina znanstvenika i popularizatora znanosti iz Nizozemske se s ovom idejom pozabavila kroz fundaciju Microcanoni, nizozemsku inačicu projekta naziva „Što doista trebate znati o mikrobiologiji“ još 2011. Ta verzija prezentirana je i u amsterdamskom muzeju Artis Micropia, a djelo na engleskome čiji vam prikaz donosim je korak dalje koji je ova skupina ljudi poduzela u ulozi urednika knjige s naslovom Mighty Microbes i podnsalovom The Amazing World of Microorganisms. Osmislili su građu podijeljenu u devet tematskih cjelina, a unutar svake je pet do deset poglavlja (tema) za koje su kao autore ili suautore odabrali znanstvenike koji su sudjelovali u ključnim otkrićima ili su istaknuti stručnjaci u tom području.
