The 2019 TU Delft iGEM team aims to design a toolkit that allows the expression of genetic constructs in different microorganisms, thus accessing the diversity of bacteria beyond E. coli and S. cerevisiae.
The iGEM team Düsseldorf aims to synthesise cow’s milk by heterologous expression of cow’s milk components and simultaneously reducing greenhouse gas. Read more.
Interview with the founder of BlueBio Labs about the application of NGS in environmental microbiology: quality control of drinking water, detection of Legionella in cooling systems and much more.
The theme of the World Microbiome Day 2019 is ‘Antibiotic Resistance’. Read about faecal transplants for the treatment of antibiotics-associated diseases.
Microbiome analysis is used in medical and plant research, biotech, environmental testing, agriculture, and drug discovery. However, researchers are not aware of all the applications for microbiome analysis. Read here about the possibilities.
The continuous development of antibiotic resistance by pathogens transformed the antibiotic crisis into one of the biggest threats to global health today (World Health Organization (WHO)). Everybody has been or will be confronted with this issue in one way or another at some point in their life. Worldwide implementation of bacteriophage therapy, a treatment that employs the natural enemies of bacteria, is impeded by the lack of common manufacturing procedures which meet international quality...

There is no such thing as moral or immoral biology. Biology is well done, or badly done. That’s all. And genetic engineering is a great way to do it well. Microorganisms, especially bacteria and yeasts, are perfectly suited for modifications to cheaply create all the compounds that the industry needs to supply us with the conveniences and must-haves that we value so much today... and that we will value even more in the future! It is the way to go. We should use microorganisms for our own...
