Synthetic microbial communities give researchers controlled models for testing how diet reshapes gut microbial ecology, ...

Freshwater ecosystems represent Earth’s most significant natural methane (CH 4) source (117–212 TgCH 4 ·yr −1), surpassing wetland emissions documented in the IPCC Sixth Assessment Report 1. CH 4 flux ...

Soil ecosystems are sustained by intricate networks of microorganisms—bacteria, fungi, archaea and microeukaryotes—that interact with one another, with plant roots and with soil physicochemical ...

Scientists have identified many types of bacteria in the mouth, but many problems remain in understanding how they work with one another. One of the problems is that microbes assemble themselves into ...

New research suggests the microbiome near the surface of a plant's roots, known as the rhizosphere microbiome, may play a ...

A six-year analysis of marine microbes in coastal California waters has overturned long-held assumptions about how the ocean's smallest organisms interact. Researchers at UC San Diego’s Scripps ...

The human microbiome is a dynamic chemical ecosystem where microbes, host cells, and therapeutics continuously exchange molecular signals that shape immunity, disease progression, and treatment ...

Postdoctoral researcher Abhilash Nair at Columbia University studies how diet-induced changes shape gut microbiota dynamics ...

Sustainable food systems rely on healthy animals, safe food production, and balanced interactions among animals, humans, and ...
