FEMS Microbiology Letters publishes excellent, short research stories with robust insights. Here are a few papers that seek to understand the real-world impact of microbial influences on agriculture, biogeochemical cycles, and clinical diagnosis, all with clear take-home messages buff.ly/0O6hQOh

Coming to the @egu.eu General Assembly in 2026? Consider submitting an abstract to our mycorrhizae session if you are working on these organisms and their linkages to ecosystem functioning. Last year, this new session was a huge hit, so let's make year two even better!

📣 New PhD student position opening in my lab! Soils are full of microbes, but how many are active? Surprisingly, we still lack reliable methods to answer this. If you are interested in microbial dormancy and are fascinated by the Alps and glacier forefields, contact me. 🏔️ 🦠 💤 🧬 🎓

Intense farming weighs heavily on soil quality! 🌱 Meet arbuscular mycorrhizal #fungi (AMF)🍄, symbionts that help plants acquire nutrients. Rog et al. explore which soils benefit most from AMF in #FEMSMicrobiolLett. @idorog.bsky.social @steffilutz.bsky.social @sfbender.bsky.social buff.ly/tblsBb1

New paper! The Increased Environmental Niche of Dual‐Mycorrhizal Woody Species. Ecology Letters: onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/... Dual-host woody species occupy a broader geographical range and environmental niche space compared to those associating exclusively with either AM or EM.

The Increased Environmental Niche of Dual‐Mycorrhizal Woody Species

Abiotic factors influence the global distribution of mycorrhizal host plants (ectomycorrhizal fungi and arbuscular mycorrhizal fungi), raising the possibility that dual associations with both mycorrh...
