Microbes: Small, Small World
Microbes in your body outnumber your cells by ten to one and can weigh as much as or more than your brain. Photographed here with a microscope, the human mouth hosts an array of microbes.
Four-strand DNA structure found in cells
Unusual nucleic-acid structure may have role in regulating some genes.
How we learned to mass-produce penicillin
Today, we are desperately trying to figure out how to combat and keep up with antibiotic resistance — the frustrating tendency for bacteria to evolve defenses against the drugs we depend on to kill them. Seventy years ago, researchers were faced with a very different problem — how to take penicillin, the antibiotic derived from mold, and turn it into something that could be produced in large quantities.
Novi aspergili u sekciji Versicolores
Nedavno je objavljen članak o novim Aspergillus vrstama unutar sekcije Versicolores za čije je otkriće zaslužan dr. sc. Željko Jurjević i njegovi suradnici.
Philips eco-friendly microbial home
The Microbial Home project is a proposal for an integrated cyclical ecosystem where each function’s output is another’s input. In the project the home has been viewed as a biological machine to filter, process and recylcle what we conventionally think of as waste – sewage, effluent, garbage, waste water.
Harvard’s Wyss Institute Develops New Nanodevice Manufacturing Strategy Using Self-Assembling DNA “Building Blocks”
Interlocking DNA "building blocks," can be programmed to assemble themselves into precisely designed shapes, such as letters and emoticons. Further development of the technology could enable the creation of new nanoscale devices, such as those that deliver drugs directly to disease sites.
Fighting bacteria’s strength in numbers
Scientists at The University of Nottingham have opened the way for more accurate research into new ways to fight dangerous bacterial infections by proving a long-held theory about how bacteria communicate with each other.
Bio-light: different biological technologies to create ambient light effects
Dutch electronics company, Phillips has created Bio-light, the greener lighting system that is part of their Microbial Home (MH) system. The bioluminescent bacteria, which flourishes on waste generated in the average home, is housed in hand-blown glass cells, clustered together to form a lamp that could easily be displayed in a modern art museum.

Naša članica, prof. dr. sc. Dijana Škorić u podkistu o koronavirusu i cjepivu
Podkist je podcast Zavoda za komunikacijske i svemirske tehnologije (ZKIST) u kojem se razgovara o znanstvenim i tehnološkim temama te temama povezanim sa studiranjem i učenjem. Cilj je u opuštenoj atmosferi približiti najnovija znanstvena istraživanja široj publici, dati studentima širi pogled na to što uče te poslušati savjete starijih kolega o studiranju, radu i napredovanju u profesionalnoj karijeri.Postani član HMD-a
Cilj Društva je okupljanje mikrobiologa i stručnjaka srodnih struka s ciljem unapređenja svih grana mikrobiologije.

Izdavaštvo
Priručnik za vježbe iz opće mikrobiologije
Ovaj sveučilišni priručnik napisalo je petnaestak autora iz desetak visokoškolskih ustanova iz Zagreba i Rijeke, a sadržaj je podijeljen u petnaest, slikama bogato ilustriranih poglavlja u kojima su opisane i obrađene različite bakteriološke, virološke, mikološke, imunološke i molekularno-biološke metode koje se upotrebljavaju u općoj mikrobiologiji koja se studira na nizu različitih fakulteta i visokih škola.
Veterinarska imunologija
Radi se o vrhunskoj literaturi za potrebe visokoškolske nastave iz veterinarske imunologije. Knjiga je svojim sadržajem namijenjena prvenstveno studentima, ali i veterinarima u praksi i nastavnicima.
