There is a growing awareness and visibility of neurodivergent people and our needs, but we still face workplace challenges. ND in Micro is a new global network that aims to connect, peer-support and raise the profile of neurodivergent microbiologists and our science through virtual and in-person activities and resources.

Microbiome-based approaches can support climate-smart agriculture by promoting regenerative farming, eco-friendly land restoration and emissions reduction. In low-income settings, which are disproportionately affected by agricultural land degradation, these strategies can improve nutrient efficiency and reduce reliance on chemical inputs.

This study reports that colibactin production can protect honeybees against invading pathogenic bacteria, whereas co-evolved resident symbionts are protected by a resistance gene that allows them to coexist with the colibactin-producing bacteria.

This Genome Watch explores how contamination and methodological assumptions influence the detection of tumour-associated microorganisms, highlighting the need for prospective, contamination-aware sequencing to distinguish biological signal from technical noise.

Ping-Hung Hsieh, Nam Ngoc Pham
This Genome Watch article highlights how giant fungal Starship transposons may facilitate the horizontal transfer of smaller transposable elements and adaptive genes across species, contributing to rapid genome evolution and phenotypic diversification.
