We take a whistle-stop tour through the illustrious history of the research into this bacterium

A round-up of recent research from the John Innes Centre from winter 2021

Pioneering work in the Miller group using soil sensors, biochemistry and ecology offers the potential to reduce the environmental impact of agriculture

Dr Myriam Charpentier’s group at the John Innes Centre is exploring root endosymbiosis, the mutual relationships between plants, bacteria and fungi that give some plants the ability to supply themselves with nutrients.

We recall the landmark discovery of the first hybrid antibiotic

The Hutchings group are studying the the interaction of soil bacteria Streptomyces with plants, which is vital to human survival.

John Innes Centre scientists are leading the way in exciting new collaborations to use the power of beneficial soil bacteria as a sustainable way to suppress pests and crop diseases.

Professor Robert (Bob) Crabtree has enjoyed an illustrious scientific career, mostly spent at Yale University, publishing over 700 papers and being cited over 53,000 times.
