Mathematical modelling led by @tsukushi_kamiya reveals the role of #nutrients in the stability of the vaginal #microbiota in a way that is consistent with #genomics and #metabolomics data shared by Jacques Ravel. This is one of the rare #models on this understudied #microbiome.

🙏 Thanks to the #FRM for funding Tsukushi's post-doctoral fellowship and to @PeerCommunityIn for the #open peer-review process ( @PLOSBiology editors did not require any additional review!).

New study out on the profound impact of pesticides on soil microbiome composition.
"Pesticide residues alter taxonomic and functional biodiversity in soils"
Köninger et al., Nature 2026
I just learned that #termites contain bacteria in their gut that produce lots of #CO2 and #H2 from the wood fibers they eat. AND THEN they have ANOTHER type of bacteria that feeds on the #CO2 and #H2 , to produce acetate that in turn THE #termites THEMSELF eat! How cool!

Just been sent https://doi.org/10.1038/s41588-025-02442-5 which sounds like a good #CitizenScience project, but will mean faffing about with the VPN to read as it's not open access:
The BioDIGS Consortium., Alberts, T., Albritton, C.F. et al. Unearthing soil biodiversity through collaborative genomic research and education. Nat Genet 58, 3–8 (2026).
The #BioDIGS project is a nationwide initiative involving students, researchers and educators across more than 40 research and teaching institutions. Participants lead sample collection, computational analysis and results interpretation to understand the relationships between the soil #microbiome, environment and health.

Get to know your 'second brain'! Your gut microbiota is like a tiny organ, helping digest food, metabolize meds & protecting you from germs. Just like fingerprints, each of us has a unique gut biome

Did you know that your gut microbiome could be the key to unlocking your overall health? New research shows that the trillions of bacteria living in your digestive system can influence everything from mental health to immunity. It’s time to rethink what we eat and how it affects not just our digestion, but our entire well-being. Are you ready to dive into the world of gut health? #GutHealth #Microbiome
