it's been an interesting #ecology session at the #CellPress symposium on #microbiomes. learned a few things I might follow up on. An impressive representation from Dunn School at #Oxford actually.

Hidden #tree #bark #microbes munch on important #climate gases
Knowing these vast #microbiomes' preferences might help customize #reforestation plans
The #treebark microbes feast on #hydrogen, #methane and #carbonmonoxide. Methane is a #greenhousegas 28 times more potent than #carbondioxide over a 100-yr. Carbon monoxide — which is lethal to humans — and hydrogen enhance #globalwarming indirectly, by helping methane persist longer in atmosphere.

Skin flora (Microbiology 🦠)
Skin flora, also called skin microbiota, refers to microbiota that reside on the skin, typically human skin. Many of them are bacteria of which there are around 1,000 species upon human skin from nineteen phyla. Most are found in the superficial layers of the epidermis and the upper parts of hair follicles. Skin flora is usually non-pathogenic, ...

Evolution of the human oral microbiome (Evolution 🧬)
The evolution of the human oral microbiome is the study of microorganisms in the oral cavity and how they have adapted over time. There are recent advancements in ancient dental research that have given insight to the evolution of the human oral microbiome. Using these techniques it...

Placental microbiome (Microbiology 🦠)
The placental microbiome is the nonpathogenic, commensal bacteria claimed to be present in a healthy human placenta and is distinct from bacteria that cause infection and preterm birth in chorioamnionitis. Until recently, the healthy placenta was considered to be a sterile organ but now genera and species have been identif...

Johns Hopkins University: Science army mobilizes to map U.S. soil microbiome. “Johns Hopkins University geneticists and a small army of researchers across the country, including students, are working to catalog the vast and largely unknown soil microbiome of the United States. The project, one of the biggest microbiome studies ever attempted, has already resulted in the discovery of more than […]

The future of life in #space 🌌 will likely depend on our ability to simulate, design, and guide #microbial 🦠 ecosystems capable of adapting to #alien worlds. Biofilm-forming communities have demonstrated not only survivability but also functionality under simulated #Martian stressors. The viability of life beyond Earth will depend on the robustness and adaptability of collective #biological systems https://www.nature.com/articles/s42003-025-08973-1

New #studies show that a #bacterial molecule, #peptidoglycan, is present in the #brain and fluctuates with #sleep patterns. This challenges the idea that sleep is solely brain-driven, instead suggesting it’s a #collaborative process between our #bodies and #microbiomes. The theory links #microbes not only to sleep but also to #cognition, #appetite, and #behavior, pointing to a profound #evolutionary relationship

Big mystery, eh? Um, maybe consider that #RoundUp / #Glyphosate is altering the #microbiomes? smh...
"The drivers of young-onset #colorectal cancer are not well understood. Some believe that the rise is due to risk factors such as obesity and diabetes. Others believe it may be related to a change in the microbiome (the unique bacterial mix that lives in our bodies), or to antibiotic exposure and dietary choices. We just do not really know the cause. "

UBiome (Microbiology 🦠)
uBiome, Inc. was a biotechnology company based in San Francisco that developed technology to sequence the human microbiome. Founded in 2012, the company filed for bankruptcy in 2019 following an FBI raid in an investigation over possible insurance fraud involving the US health insurance program Medicare. In 2021, the Securities and Exchange Commi...

The #Roscoff Culture Collection 🇨🇵 of #marine #microorganisms 🌊 🦠 is seeking a #postdoc to work on ex situ microbiome interactions (EU projects #MICROBE and #BlueRemediomics 🇪🇺).
One objective is to define synthetic #microbiomes to promote the growth of selected #microeukaryotes (#microalgae, saprotrophs) and for optimal production of #metabolites of interest.
