ASM

ASM is a global community shaping the future of the microbial sciences to tackle some of the world's most pressing challenges.  

Microbes Make Our World.

Fruiting body formation is traditionally regarded as a defining trait of myxobacteria. Research in #JournalSpectrum shows that Aggregicoccus spp. can sporulate but are deficient in the fruiting body-associated genomic information. https://t.co/2x47ZgZz2t

Happy #WorldMicroorganismDay! The word ‘microbe’ literally means 'small life.' Yet, there are species of microbes that are not microscopic and others that are not alive. So, what even counts as a microbe? https://t.co/nGKLUiIVA7

Echinocandin antifungal drugs, such as caspofungin, inhibit β-1,3-glucan synthesis to impair cell wall formation. Endoplasmic reticulum stress in Cryptococcus neoformans reduces caspofungin resistance. Learn more in #mSphere: https://t.co/q9BDqdZEuN

Natural, non-genetic variation among host cells can shape infection outcomes. In #mSystems: variability in hemoglobin content among individual red blood cells modulates nutrient consumption by Plasmodium falciparum, the most lethal malaria parasite. https://t.co/iW3HKDulvB
