Microplastics in soil can create tiny microbial hotspots, potentially reshaping soil health and the long-term sustainability ...
Before the onset of cardiovascular disease symptoms, people often develop dyslipidemia, or abnormal levels of lipids in the blood. Recent studies suggest that microbes in the gut play an important ...

The holobiont paradigm finally recognizes that macroorganism development and health, like all other natural ecosystems, are influenced by the diverse microbial communities they host. However, ...
Microbiologists are searching for a universal theory of how bacteria form communities based not on their species but on the roles they play. Bacteria don’t throw dinner parties or tell jokes, but they ...
Decades of research has shown promise for using microbiome science to solve several problems facing agriculture, but these findings have not yet been translated to practical recommendations for ...
Microbial ecosystems—for example, in seawater, the soil or in the human gut—are astonishingly diverse, but researchers often struggle to reproduce this diversity in the lab: Many microorganisms die ...
Microbial communities are widely used biotechnology suppliers for processes like manufacturing biofuels and new foods, or helping crops grow better. To engineer successful communities, scientists need ...
A flagship seven-year study that explores how environmental stresses influence different ecological processes shaping the composition and structure of microbial communities in groundwater has now been ...
