Soils release approximately 40–60 petagrams (Pg) of carbon annually into the atmosphere through microbial metabolism. Climate warming is projected to further enhance soil microbial respiration, ...

Microbial load is a crucial but often overlooked factor in understanding the associations between the gut microbiome and various diseases. Researchers in the group of Peer Bork, PhD, at EMBL ...

Scientists have developed a new machine-learning model to predict microbial load — the density of microbes in our guts — and used it to demonstrate how microbial load plays an important role in ...

In sickness or in health, the billions of microorganisms that inhabit our guts are our constant companions throughout life. In the past few decades, scientists have shown how the nature of this ...

Atlanta, GA – New research has shed light on the effects of protein-rich diets on the gut microbiome and overall health. Despite the increasing protein intake in Western diets, especially among ...

A recent study shows that bacteria living inside colorectal tumors form distinct ecosystems that are closely linked to how ...
