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

🆕 Report by CentreForFoodSafety.org
🚨MICROBIOMES MATTER !
What is the link between SOIL HEALTH and HUMAN HEALTH and how can understanding microbiomes explain this connection? And what role does the industrial food system play in their degradation?

"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.

There is a history in Turkey, Albania, Bulgaria and Macedonia of making yoghurt with ant nest #microbiomes, either by leaving the starter in an ants' nest or by adding some ants directly. Some researchers recreated the practice by adding some #Formicarufa ants to milk and then characterised the cultures that were produced.
