Few bacterial genera have shaped microbiology as heavily as Pseudomonas.

From metabolism and environmental adaptation to host interactions, antimicrobial resistance, biofilm formation, and biotechnology, research on Pseudomonas continues to generate insights that extend well beyond a single genus.

Explore our new curated issue Pseudomonas in FEMS Microbiology Reviews, featuring expert reviews that synthesize the concepts, mechanisms, and emerging questions. 

Once overlooked, small proteins are now recognized as widespread and functionally important players in prokaryotic biology.

This reading list highlights recent discoveries in the field and offers a preview of an upcoming microLife thematic issue on the same topic. 

Pathogenic E. coli remains a major focus of microbiology research because of its continued impact on human and animal health. 

So, FEMS Microbiology Letters is inviting submissions for a thematic issue that will bring together the current knowledge-base exploring why and how pathogenic E. coli continues to be a priority topic. The issue is linked to (but not limited to) VTEC-2026.

Deadline: 30 November 2026

Microbial gases are key mediators of interactions between microbes and their hosts, influencing metabolism, immunity, and community dynamics across diverse ecosystems.

FEMS Microbes welcomes submissions for an upcoming thematic issue exploring the cycling of methane, hydrogen, carbon monoxide, and other gases within and between microbes and their hosts, from humans and animals to plants and other organisms.

Deadline: 31 October 2026
