Description:

Understanding in order to heal - investigating bacterial communication How do bacteria communicate with human inflammatory cells? This topic is the center of the new LOEWE focus "Diffusible Signals" (Impact of diffusible signals at human cell-microbe interfaces). Molecular time travel Complex protein structures can persist in nature over evolutionary periods even if they have no function. The reason for this is a universal mechanism that, like a ratchet, prevents them from slipping back into earlier states. Group leader Dr. Georg Hochberg is the first author of a study that has now been published in the latest issue of the journal "Nature". Our Graduate School enters the next stage The International Max Planck Research School (IMPRS) in Marburg is being extended for another six years. The submission of applications opens on December 1, 2020 and runs until January 31, 2021.  Tackling Metabolic Complexity Metabolic networks are complex and their regulation is daunting.  A team of researchers at the MPI led by Dr. Hannes Link showed that massively parallel CRISPRi screens can conquer this complexity. Spore Formation in Fast Motion Success in Life is determined by the right strategy. This also applies to sporulating bacteria, as studies by our research group "Complex Adaptive Traits" headed by Ilka Bischofs revealed. Welcome to the  Max Planck Institute for Terrestrial Microbiology The aim of our research is to understand the diversity and function of microorganisms. They are more numerous and diverse than all other living organisms – there is no place on earth they do not colonize. There are mainly three main reasons for their success: their immense metabolic capacities, a great ability to adapt to environmental changes, and a wide range of interactions with other organisms. Whether by their indispensable role in the global cycles of matter, the conversion of atmospheric greenhouse gases or their numerous interactions with humans, animals and plants - microorganisms decisively shape life on earth.Like all the other over 80 Max Planck Institutes, we conduct basic research, because, as Max Planck said: "Insight must precede application." A fundamental understanding of processes and interrelationships is prerequisite for any medical or technological innovation. We use state-of-the-art technologies in combination with computer modeling and analysis as well as synthetic biology methods.
