Join us for a joint FEMS & Biolog webinar exploring how microbial communities function and respond to environmental stressors. The session opens with an introduction to Biolog’s Odin™/OmniLog© systems and Phenotypic MicroArray™ (PM) plates and EcoPlates™, powerful tools for high-throughput metabolic profiling.

Two FEMS Journals authors will then showcase how Biolog technologies are applied their cutting-edge research—from uncovering carbon utilization strategies in plant pathogens to understanding how climate-driven changes shape microbial biofilms in glacier-fed streams. This webinar offers valuable insights for microbiologists, industry professionals, and students interested in linking microbial function to environmental change and real-world applications.

This event is part of a series of webinars by FEMS on research published in the FEMS Journals. The FEMS journals are run by microbiologists, and for microbiologists. Every article published by us has been rigorously reviewed for soundness of science by our community of academic peer reviewers – and the not-for-profit journals support the microbiology community.
