Knowledge Zone#KnowledgeByte: Our good #Health relies on a vast network of microbes that call us home. These microorganisms, such as bacteria, are collectively known as our ‘#Microbiome’.
One recent study found that people living a modern way of life have significantly less microbiome diversity than people living as hunter-gatherers.

Lifestyle SocialHow #Diet Structure Impacts the #Microbiome: Comparing Liquid Diets, #FermentedFoods, and #Fiber Intake
The human gut microbiome—trillions of microorganisms living in the digestive tract—is profoundly influenced by diet. Different dietary structures, from highly restricted liquid formulas to fiber-rich whole foods, exert distinct and sometimes opposite pressures on this complex ecosystem, with significant implications for health.

Microbes may remove more than half of groundwater methane, curbing global emissions
Groundwater commonly contains methane, but the amount of this important greenhouse gas that can escape to surface waters or the atmosphere is highly uncertain. A team from the Max Planck Institute for Biogeochemistry and University of Jena has shown that microbes in groundwater significantly reduce methane emissions, as revealed in a study published in PNAS.

New study explores ‘legacy effects’ of soil microbes on plants across Kansas
Findings from the University of Kansas could offer important context for farmers who want to use beneficial microbes to improve yields. Today, microbial commercialization in agriculture represents an expanding multibillion dollar sector.
