Mining Bacterial Small Molecules
L. Caetano M. Antunes, Julian E. Davies and B. Brett Finlay | Jan 1, 2011 | 10 min read
As much as rainforests or deep-sea vents, the human gut holds rich stores of microbial chemicals that should be mined for their pharmacological potential.

Author: SIMON SILVER Department of Microbiology & Immunology University of Illinois Chicago Discovering six new vitamins in a single metabolic pathway is unprecedented, but then, neither methanogenesis nor Ralph Wolfe is standard. The metabolic pathway for converting CO2 to CH2, which is unique to the methanogenic archaebacteria, has shown that there is novel microbiology and metabolic biochemistry work yet to do. A.A. DiMarco, T.A. Bobik, R.S. Wolfe, "Unusual coenzymes of methanogenesis,"

Editor's Note: The newsletter Science Watch, published by the Philadelphia-based Institute for Scientific Information (ISI), last year decided to devote more attention to a research arena that, clearly, was attracting more attention among scientists worldwide: ecology and environmental science. After analyzing ISI's Science Indicators Database, the newsletter published last November (Science Watch, 4[9]:7-8, 1993) its first-ever l

Isn't it ironic that the biology scientists receiving MacArthur fellowships [K.Y. Kreeger, The Scientist, Sept. 2, 1996, page 1; T.W. Durso, The Scientist, Sept. 2, 1996, page 3] are interested in broadening their studies to areas combining disciplines while university administrations are subdividing disciplines? My own university (the University of Arizona) has subdivided the old biological sciences into (1) ecology and evolutionary biology; (2) microbiology and immunology; and (3) molecular

Broadening Applicability Fosters Growth In Microbiology's Current Job Market
Marcia Clemmitt | May 16, 1993 | 8 min read
Life scientists are increasingly adopting the belief that microorganisms are virtually everywhere and are responsible for just about everything. This, plus the maturation of molecular- level methods of working with these tiny creatures, is a source of considerable optimism for microbiologists as the 93rd general meeting of the American Society for Microbiology (ASM) convenes in Atlanta this week. What they see, in career terms, is that progress in their field is bound to yield an ever-widening
