Scientists have discovered that a phloroglucinol-producing Pseudomonas strain shows promise as a biocontrol agent against parasitic plants such as broomrapes that result in major losses in crops. https://www.the-microbiologist.com/news/pseudomonas-strain-turns-its-sights-on-parasitic-plants/1656.article
Pseudomonas strain turns its sights on parasitic plants

Our @AMIposts funded summer placement student has done a huge amount of work on our collection of veterinary Klebsiella oxytoca strains (full literature review, Galleria assays, bioinformatics). Looking forward to going through all the data in the coming weeks. What I've seen so far is promising, though. :)
3/3 Our policy team sat down for a one-to-one Q&A session with a post-doctoral researcher at Queen’s University Belfast for his take on his experience and advice https://www.the-microbiologist.com/careers/post-doc-appreciation-week-2023/1580.article

2/3 We surveyed post-docs at the University of Liverpool and Quadram Institute to get their perspectives on what post-docs have to offer the labs they work in, which is turns out is quite a lot! https://www.the-microbiologist.com/features/postdoc-appreciation-week/1591.article
Postdoc Appreciation Week

We held a Q&A for postdocs from the University of Liverpool and The Quadram Institute to showcase their skills beyond research, and their views on the importance of postdocs within microbiology.
