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 31st May 2018.

Odilorhabdins: Researchers Discover New Class of Antibiotics
An international team of scientists led by the University of Illinois, Chicago, has discovered a new class of naturally produced, ribosome-targeting antibacterial agents, odilorhabdins, produced by a nematode-symbiotic bacterium.
Over 200 Never-Before-Seen Viruses Discovered Lurking in Frogs, Fish, And Reptiles
Not only does the finding have implications for studying human virology in the future, it also shows that viruses have an evolutionary history dating back millions of years - and they evolved concurrently with vertebrates.

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.
Priručnik za vježbe iz opće mikrobiologije
Ovaj sveučilišni priručnik napisalo je petnaestak autora iz desetak visokoškolskih ustanova iz Zagreba i Rijeke, a sadržaj je podijeljen u petnaest, slikama bogato ilustriranih poglavlja u kojima su opisane i obrađene različite bakteriološke, virološke, mikološke, imunološke i molekularno-biološke metode koje se upotrebljavaju u općoj mikrobiologiji koja se studira na nizu različitih fakulteta i visokih škola.
