A naturally occurring clay shows promise as an antibiotic
Julian Davies (University of British Columbia) and his team tested the clay as an antibiotic against various bacteria. “It’s been almost all surprises since then,” he says. Solutions of the clay can kill 16 different strains of multidrug-resistant bacteria that commonly infect hospital patients!

Microbial art
The Agar Art Contest requires contestants to create a picture in a petri dish using microbes as paint. There were 85 entrants this year and the results were pretty amazing. The image above is called ‘Cell to Cell’ and was the people’s choice award with over 3,500 likes in the Facebook album.

Pandoravirusi – otkriće najvećih i najneobičnijih virusa do sada
Skupina francuskih i švedskih znanstvenika koju su vodili Chantal Abergel i Jean-Michel Claverie, otkrivač dosad najvećih i najkompleksnijih Mimi i Megavirusa, objavila je prošli tjedan u časopisu Science (Philipp et al., 2013, Science 341 (6143): 281-286.) otkriće novog roda Pandoravirus. Kao i prethodno otkriveni virusi orijaške kategorije koji parazitiraju u amebama i ovi imaju vrlo kompleksne genome koji nadilaze po veličini one parazitskih bakterija.
Scientists combine bird and swine flus to create mutant airborne virus
Researchers in China have created a batch of designer viruses by selectively combining genes from the H5N1 bird flu virus with those of the H1N1 swine flu strain. This reassortment process — which can happen naturally in nature — resulted in several hybridized strains that were able spread through the air and infect mammals.

Power of Microbes in Industry and Environment 2016
Date: September 28 to October 1 2016
Venue: Krk, Croatia
It is our great pleasure to invite you to the symposium “Power of Microbes in Industry and Environment 2016”, which will be held in Krk (island Krk), Croatia from September 28 to October 1 2016.
The experience of the past meetings motivated our efforts to continue with this series with a clear tendency to include new societies and strengthen the scientific connections among research groups of neighbouring countries.
