In this Review, Flemming and colleagues aim to explore the roles of microbial extracellular polymeric substances in the environment, in technology and in medicine.

In this Review, Crawford and Turocy examine diverse small molecule metabolites produced by the human microbiota, their role as potential risk factors for cancer development as well as novel mechanistic insights demonstrating their association with gastrointestinal cancer.

In this Review, Zhou, Tran et al. provide a comprehensive overview of the metabolic reactions by which microorganisms transform inorganic sulfur compounds across varied microbiomes and ecosystems, and explore the link between sulfur cycling microorganisms and climate change.

In this study, Cross, Woolsey, Prasad et al. report obeldesivir as a promising post-exposure prophylaxis for filoviruses.

This study shows that metabolites from both an infecting pathogen and the gut microbiota of the host are major determinants of survival from bacterial sepsis in mice.

In this Journal Club, Flora Vincent revisits a paper that summarized the ecological roles of microorganisms in the ocean ecosystem and that greatly impacted the field of marine microbiology.

In a recent study, Lin et al. uncovered that a single substitution in the bovine influenza H5N1 haemagglutinin protein switches the specificity to human receptors.

A recent study found that soil microbial communities show consistent and predictable responses to extreme climatic events.

A recent study shows that the commensal bacterium Lactiplantibacillus plantarum recognizes the foregut of the fruit fly as its physical niche via sugar-binding adhesins.
