Microbiology
- Microbiology Blog The weblog for microbiologists. Microbiology news and views to help the busy scientist keep up-to-date on current research, forthcoming conferences, hot research topics, high impact publications, and much more.
- The correct way to write E. coli Aimed at journalists, professional writers, students and non-microbiologists. The correct way to write a species name and samples of incorrect ways. See also: How to write H. pylori
- Microbiology A Resource for Research Microbiologists
- Microbiology Societies Links to a range of microbiology societies worldwide.
- Microbial Biodegradation, Bioremediation and Biotransformation Interest in the microbial biodegradation of pollutants has intensified in recent years as mankind strives to find sustainable ways to cleanup contaminated environments. These bioremediation and biotransformation methods endeavour to harness the astonishing, naturally occurring, microbial catabolic diversity to degrade, transform or accumulate a huge range of compounds.
- Environmental Microbiology The study of the composition and physiology of microbial communities in the environment.
- Pseudomonas The bacterial genus Pseudomonas includes the opportunistic human pathogen P. aeruginosa, plant pathogenic bacteria, plant beneficial bacteria, ubiquitous soil bacteria with bioremediation capabilities and other species that cause spoilage of milk and dairy products.
- Cyanobacteria Cyanobacteria are a fascinating and versatile group of bacteria of immense biological importance. Thought to be amongst the first organisms to colonize the earth, these bacteria are the photosynthetic ancestors of chloroplasts in eukaryotes such as plants and algae.
- Acinetobacter The genus Acinetobacter is a group of Gram-negative, non-motile and non-fermentative bacteria belonging to the family Moraxellaceae.
- Bacillus subtilis Bacillus subtilis is one of the best understood prokaryotes in terms of molecular biology and cell biology. Its superb genetic amenability and relatively large size have provided powerful tools to investigate a bacterium in all possible aspects. Download flyer
- Animal Viruses The emergence of the SARS virus in the human population, coming from an animal source, highlights the importance of animals in harbouring infectious agents; avian influenza viruses can directly infect humans. Research into animal viruses has made an important contribution to our understanding of viruses in general, their replication, molecular biology, evolution and interaction with the host.

- Gram-negative Bacteria Gram-negative bacteria do not retain the crystal violet dye in the Gram stain protocol. Gram-negative bacteria include Acinetobacter, Cyanobacteria, Erwinia, Helicobacter, Legionella, Pasteurella, Pseudomonas, Treponema, Vibrio
- New Approaches to Vaccine Design New, sophisticated technologies such as genomics, proteomics, functional genomics, and synthetic chemistry can be used for the rational identification of antigens, the synthesis of complex glycans, the generation of engineered carrier proteins, and more ...
- Streptomyces molecular biology Streptomycetes are Gram-positive, high GC-content, sporulating bacteria found predominantly in soil. Streptomycetes are characterised by a complex secondary metabolism producing antibiotic compounds and other metabolites with medicinal properties.
Virology
- Bluetongue Virus Bluetongue virus (BTV), a member of Orbivirus genus within the Reoviridae family causes serious disease in livestock (sheep, goat, cattle).
- Coronavirus Coronaviruses are positive-strand, enveloped RNA viruses that are important pathogens of mammals and birds. This group of viruses cause enteric or respiratory tract infections in a variety of animals including humans, livestock and pets.
- Foot and Mouth Foot-and-mouth disease virus (FMDV) is the prototypic member of the Aphthovirus genus in the Picornaviridae family. This picornavirus is the etiological agent of an acute systemic vesicular disease that affects cattle worldwide.

- RNA Silencing in VirologyThe term RNA silencing refers to several pathways present in eukaryotic organisms that lead to the sequence specific elimination or functional blocking of RNAs with homology to double stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that have previously triggered the mechanism.
- Plant VirusesViruses that infect plants are responsible for reduction in both yield and quality of crops around the world, and are thus of great economic importance.
