SFB 1535 MibiNet "Microbial networking – from organelles to cross-kingdom communities"

In nature, microorganisms interact and communicate with one another, exchanging nutrients and information, an active process we call "networking".

MibiNet aims to understand microbial networking in its full complexity to explain how organelles evolve and how the microbiome functions.

Big News: Unlocking the Antiviral Secret Weapon of Soil Bacteria

Big news from our MibiNet Member! A team led by Prof. Dr. Julia Frunzke has uncovered how the molecule Daunorubicin blocks viral replication through a mechanism of "mutual destruction." Read more about how this breakthrough, recently published in PNAS, could pave the way for innovative alternatives to traditional antibiotics.

Congratulations to Dr. Lennart Witting!

We are happy to announce that Lennart Witting successfully defended his doctoral thesis "A Microfluidic Platform for High-Precision Growth Quantification of Photosynthetic Microorganisms".

The MibiNet team is incredibly proud of his achievement and wishes him all the best for his next career steps.

Congratulations Rudvi!

We are thrilled to share that our team member, Rudvi Pednker, recently participated in the prestigious EMBL Symposium ‘The cellular mechanics of symbiosis: sensing friend from foe’. Rudvi represented our group outstandingly by both giving an insightful talk and presenting a poster.

To top off this scientific highlight, she was awarded a Poster Prize for her exceptional work!
