mycobacteria

guest-edited by dr riccardo manganelli, this collection will highlight all aspects of mycobacterial biology, with a particular focus on physiological aspects, such as stress response mechanisms, regulatory networks and metabolic pathways, that might lead to a better understanding of the intriguing aspects of mycobacterial host–pathogen interaction and lead to the design of new strategies to fight these important pathogens. find out more and read the articles currently in the collection online (microbiologyresearch.org/content/mycobacteria).

metals in microbiology

guest-edited by dr jennifer cavet and dr karrera djoko, this collection of keynote research articles will highlight research on metal–microbe interactions, bringing together advances in our understanding of how microbes handle metals, the utilization of metals in proteins and the importance of metal-handling systems in host–pathogen interactions. it will also include research that exploits these systems in industrial processes, the development of metal-related antimicrobials and in metal bioremediation and biorecovery.
