This collection from the FEMS journals presents the latest high-quality research in six key areas of microbiology that have an impact across our world. All of the FEMS journals aim to serve the microbiology community with timely and authoritative research and reviews, and by investing back into the scientific community. The collection also features recordings from our FEMS Microbiology Webinars series, free presentations from microbiologists across the world.
Browse the latest collections below, with all papers free to read until the end of 2021 [or fully Open Access]. If you would like to receive the latest updates from the FEMS journals make sure to sign up for our email alerts.

Originally aired on Thursday 12th November 2020, this webinar features featuring authors of recent papers in FEMS Microbiology Ecology . Soil is alive, and soil microorganisms are the driving force of elemental biogeochemical cycling and the bridge linking above- and below-ground ecosystem interactions. The microbial ecology of soils has the potential to answer multiple questions that...

Originally broadcast on 4th March 2021, this webinar explores the topic of microbial ecotoxicology. The term microbial ecotoxicology was coined to describe interdisciplinary investigations of the response of the microbial compartment in ecosystems subject to environmental contamination. In this webinar the speakers present key recent investigations in this emerging area of microbial ecology research.

This webinar looks at the fascinating topic of animal microbiomes. Microbial communities living on or in animals affect the physiology and behavior of their hosts. But what exactly is the interplay between these animal microbiomes and the animals themselves? Originally aired on 24 September 2020...
The forgotten role of food cultures
Gabriele Berg, Rodrigo Mendes, Doreen Babin
Originally broadcast on Thursday 20thMay 2021, this webinar explores sustainable agriculture by diving into the interactions between common crops and their microbiomes. Our speakers will demonstrate how modern sequencing techniques can reveal how plant microbiomes influence the postharvest pathogens and storability of crops, the root and soil rhizosphere, and plant performance. This knowledge on the soil and plant microbiota of various crops has applications in developing agricultural management practices for sustainable crop production.
