Public Service Announcement: SILVA has joined the Bluesky community! 

📢🎉 SILVA is part of the the DSMZ Digital Diversity consortium, a Global Core Biodata Resource and an ELIXIR Core Data Resource. www.arb-silva.de Follow for the latest information and announcements 🦠🔬👩‍🔬

❓How much data is in BacDive? 👉BacDive currently contains ✨more than 3 million✨ distinct data points, which describe 101,417 prokaryotic strains 🦠 of 22,480 different species 🧫.

🇫🇷 🇪🇺 Last week we attended @elixir-europe.org All Hands Meeting in Lyon to present our resources and talk about all things data. Did you know that four of our databases, BacDive 🦠, BRENDA 🧪, LPSN 📑, and SILVA 🧬, are ✨ ELIXIR Core Data Resources ✨? 👉 elixir-europe.org/platforms/da...

📢 The BacDive summer release is online! What is new: 🔹 Updated information on strains available in the Jena Microbial Resource Collection (JMRC) 🦠 and a new JMRC Special Collection 🔹Recalculated BacteriaNet genome-based predictions 🧬 🖥 🔹Links to Enterobase 🧫 👉 bacdive.dsmz.de/news/41

That's another @dsmzd3.bsky.social Expert Committee Meeting in the books. This year we hosted it at the #BRICS 🧪🖥, where our #BRENDA and #DataIntegration teams are located. ✨️ Lots of thanks to our advisors for two days of fruitful discussions and constructive feedback!

👉 Join the #StrainInfo 🧫 breakout session at the 8th #NFDI4Microbiota 🦠 Community Workshop to chat with the developers about your questions, needs, and ideas ⁉️💡 We look forward to meeting you!

📝 Register now for the 8th NFDI4Microbiota Community Workshop! The workshop will focus on practical tools and solutions that directly support your research — from data management to microbiome analysis workflows. We look forward to discussing your needs and ideas! 👉 events.hifis.net/event/3894/

👋 We had a successful and fun conference at #vaam2026 together with our partners and collaborators @denbi.bsky.social and @dsmzd3.bsky.social ! 🙏 Thanks to all our booth visitors for the interesting questions and thought-provoking discussions. See you soon at other events: tinyurl.com/2endbz9v

Thanks to everyone who came to talk to us at #VAAM2026 🦠🙋‍♂️. We loved answering your questions and hearing your feedback and ideas 🤩. See you next time!

@denbi.bsky.social on Stage at @vaam-microbes.bsky.social: @oschwengers.bsky.social and Isabel Schober (@leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social) presented our services Baktfold, @bacdive.bsky.social and StrainInfo

📢 New #DSMZCellDive release 2026.03 #DSMZCellDive now includes metabolic pathways from #BRENDA 🧪 associated with human enzyme encoding genes. To visualize expression in specific cell lines, genes can now be selected by pathway. 👉 celldive.dsmz.de/pathways

Just two weeks until #VAAM2026 🦠🤩! You can hear about our work at the following talk and posters: 🔷 #StrainRegistry Talk SL-CM-08, Monday 12:30, Lecture Hall D 🔷 #LPSN, Poster P-MBE-002, Monday 🔷 #TYGS, Poster P-MBE-010, Tuesday 🔷 #MetabolicPathways, Poster P-CM-015, Tuesday

🆕 #BRENDA Release 2026.1 is now online! It Includes 124 new and 750 updated enzyme classes 🧪. 👉 www.brenda-enzymes.org

📣BacDive API Update Version 2 for the BacDive API endpoints ⌨️ has been introduced due to changes in the structure of the Genome Sequences data. ‼️We recommend migrating as new data added in latest, and upcoming, releases is only available through the BacDive API v2! 👉 api.bacdive.dsmz.de

💬“LPSN is a key source of information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes and associated data – it helps researchers stay informed about the constantly proposed new bacterial names.” #LPSN 🦠 is our newest #ELIXIR core data resource 🥳. If you are not using it yet, check it out now 👉 lpsn.dsmz.de

LPSN becomes an ELIXIR Core Data Resource! This database tracks bacterial names, aiding scientists worldwide. Easier microbe research ahead. Press release: tinyurl.com/fuud42xk #ScienceNews #Microbiology #Innovation #BioData

📣New database resource📣 We are delighted to announce a new addition to #DSMZDigitalDiversity. Together with the #PlantVirology Department at @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social, we have developed a new tool dedicated to plant viruses.🌱🦠 The 1st prototype of PVDive is now available online! 👉 pvdive.dsmz.de

🥳 #LPSN has been selected as an ELIXIR Core Data Resource! 🎉 LPSN, which provides comprehensive information on the nomenclature of prokaryotes, is now recognized by @elixir-europe.org as one of Europe’s major life science data services. 👉 elixir-europe.org/news/CDR-sel...

📣 Open position: We are looking for a new #ScientificLead for the #SILVA database 🧬🖥️ The scientific lead will be responsible for guiding the development of this important resource and for curating the SILVA taxonomy🌳and more! 👉 www.dsmz.de/dsmz/career/... Read and share ‼️ #sciencejobs 🦠🧪

The 2025 #BacDive 🦠 release is now online. 🎉🥳 The database now contains information on more than 100,000 strains 🧫. For this update, new data provided by @leibniz-dsmz.bsky.social and information on type strains of newly described species from the #LPSN database were added.

✨With this update, #BacDive additionally receives a new look 🖥️. The new website, which had been in beta test phase for the last six months, adopts the shared modern design of @dsmzd3.bsky.social, which offers users an intuitive navigation and more clearly structured strain detail pages.

🧬 #BacDive is also taking a long-awaited leap into the world of genomics with the debut of a genome browser 🔎🖥️. For the first time, BacDive now displays genomic information. The genome browser feature lists and visualizes #Bakta annotations of #INSDC genome assemblies.
