Following exciting missions like Artemis II, the next question isn’t reaching space, but defining the limits of habitability.

Hopton and Cockell's new review in FEMS Microbes examines how ammonia behaves under icy moon conditions, and what that means for microbial survival. By comparing known biological limits with geochemical estimates from moons like Enceladus and Titan, their work highlights a key point: environments that appear habitable based on water alone may still fall outside the bounds of life as we know it.

Explore how mycorrhizal fungi shape ecosystem function and how this research can be applied to challenges such as soil health, crop productivity, and biodiversity loss in the context of the UN Sustainable Development Goals in our new thematic issue in FEMS Microbiology Letters. 

This FEMS Microbes thematic issue organized in association with the 17th International Conference on Toxoplasmosis, covers ocular toxoplasmosis, age-related disease outcomes, and new insights into parasite gene expression and host–parasite interactions.

How bacterial infections reshape host chromatin and gene regulation remains underexplored. This microLife thematic issue aims to highlight current research on chromatin dynamics during infection and their roles in pathogenic strategies and host defense. All articles are open access with APCs waived for this collection.

Microbial metabolism plays a central role in regulating greenhouse gases such as carbon dioxide, methane, and nitrous oxide, shaping Earth’s climate and biogeochemical cycles. FEMS Microbes is inviting submissions exploring these processes across scales, from genetics and biochemistry to ecology, evolution, and their interfaces. Research that connects fundamental microbial function to applications in greenhouse gas mitigation, sustainable production, and the emerging bioeconomy is particularly welcome.
