FEMS Microbiology Reviews Webinar on Molecular Aspects of Microbial Biology

The FEMS Microbiology Reviews Webinar on "Exploring the Molecular Aspects of Microbial Biology" brought together seasoned microbiologists exploring the genomic and molecular foundations driving microbial diversity, adaptation, and pathogenesis. This session showcased leading authors whose reviews span Pseudomonas taxonomy and evolution, fungal phenotypic heterogeneity, and the molecular epidemiology and evolution of Mycobacterium tuberculosis. From novel computational pipelines to the role of genetic variation in disease resistance, this webinar offered microbiologists, students, and enthusiasts a front-row seat to emerging tools, insights, and breakthroughs shaping our understanding of microbial life at the molecular level.  Originally broadcast on Wednesday 16 February 2026. - Chair: Tomasz Jagielski, University of Warsaw (Poland) and Grzegorz Wegrzyn, University of Gdansk (Poland) Editors of the accompanying thematic issue: https://academic.oup.com/femsre/pages... - Talk 1: Juan Luis Ramos Martin, Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) (Spain) and Zulema Udaondo, National Centre for Biotechnology (CNB), Consejo Superior de Investigaciones Científicas (CSIC) (Spain) Authors of: Unraveling the genomic diversity of the Pseudomonas putida group: exploring taxonomy, core pangenome, and antibiotic resistance mechanisms (https://academic.oup.com/femsre/artic...)
