A single tree can harbour hundreds of species - yet few people will realise that some of those species live within the very leaves themselves. A fascinating free webinar will explore the fascinating world of fungal communities that live inside leaves.

A new review finds that biological ammonia production offers strong potential as a cleaner, greener alternative to the costly Haber-Bosch process.

In a new study of viral abundance over a short time frame in the Sargasso Sea, researchers found that almost all viruses with cyclical changes in abundance were most active at night – somewhat surprising when the team expected microbial behavior to pick up pace when light was available for photosynthesis.

A new inquiry by the UK Parliament’s Science and Technology Committee investigates why the NHS adoption of the UK’s cutting-edge life sciences innovations often fails - and what could be done to fix it. Members of AMI could be just the people to provide answers.

Scientists have discovered that degraded soils can regain their microbial diversity by combining soil microbiome transplants with artificial humic acid amendments.

As a group of leading UK health experts launches a new Commission on Access to Vaccines to understand why access levels are falling across the UK, Applied Microbiology International is calling on members to share their insights on childhood vaccinations.
