“Microbiological Results of 2025”

The core fundamental questions of microbiology were largely formulated at the very early stages of the field’s development. For a long time, many studies ended where the available methods ended and where the capabilities of existing instruments were exhausted.

Over the past few years, new technologies have dramatically expanded the possibilities of the science, allowing a shift from indirect approaches to the most direct ones. This means we no longer have to guess many things — we can carefully verify their actual state and, in a sense, observe them almost directly.

We are now able to rapidly process enormous volumes of data, test vast numbers of variants to identify the most suitable ones, run many chemical reactions simultaneously with precise control of conditions, and work with fully sequenced genomes — something that no longer surprises anyone.
