Raw #milk bacteria can reduce chlorate already present in the #dairy chain. A new paper in Access Microbiology uses shotgun #metagenomics to track how raw milk microbial communities & genes respond to chlorate at 4 °C and 25 °C, with clear reductions over time. 📰 buff.ly/lCHA8yy #Microbiome

🧫 How can microbiome science translate into everyday diets? A #DOMINOEU book chapter explores #fermentedfoods via Living Labs, co-creating solutions that address barriers and support healthier, sustainable food systems. 📄 Check the full summary here: www.domino-euproject.eu/domino-featu...

Water kefir can help researchers study fermented foods more clearly. A new paper in 𝐧𝐩𝐣 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 shows how this relatively simple bacteria and yeast community can support multi-omics and metabolic modelling in fermentation research. 📰https://buff.ly/sgtokET #Microbiome #Fermentation

A great meeting and great weather was a bonus 😁

🥦 New study uncovers massive viral diversity in food 🍽️ 3,000+ food metagenomes → thousands of bacteriophage genomes, most previously unknown. Led by @pauldcotter.bsky.social Cotter and Dr. @orlaos.bsky.social www.nature.com/articles/s41... #microbiomeanalysis #SportGenis #Bioinformatics

I will be presenting at the upcoming Food Matters Live event in London on June 3rd. Looks like an excellent lineup.

An exciting PhD opportunity to work with us on the soil microbiome @vistamilk.bsky.social @teagasc.bsky.social

Recently, the CoDiet consortium met in Thessaloniki, Greece, for the project's 3rd Annual Meeting🍎 It was a wonderful week, filled with insightful presentations & conversations. Thank you to BIOMIC_AUTh based at Aristotle University of Thessaloniki, for hosting! Read more 👉 bit.ly/4anlcus

Today we celebrate woman and girls in science @teagasc.bsky.social

Today is International Day of Women and Girls in Science! We're very lucky in CoDiet to have many women contribute a range of different skills and expertise to the project...🍎 Learn a bit more about some of the women in CoDiet 👉 youtu.be/5nZf3q-qlds

We’re excited to be heading to Probiota next week! You’ll find us exhibiting at the event, and we’re delighted that our two co-founders, Prof Marcus Claesson and Prof @pauldcotter.bsky.social will be presenting. If you’re attending, drop by our stand and say hello 👋 probiotaevent.com/live/en/page...

👏 The #DOMINOEU project is pleased to have contributed to @efsa.europa.eu guidance on the characterisation & risk assessment of microbes used in the food chain. A key step for #FoodSafety and innovation, providing robust, evidence-based standards for their safe use in the EU food sector.

Day 1 of @codieteu.bsky.social annual meeting. An enlightening day of scientific updates. @teagasc.bsky.social

What happens when Ireland puts the public at the heart of research? We are co-creating a Public Engagement and Open Research Roadmap with communities, researchers, NGOs, and government. Because research should be not only about communities, it should be with them #OpenResearch #PublicEngagement
