Thrilled to share this collaborative work by Kristie Yu, Francis Chandra, Amina Schartup and teams @Scripps_Ocean and @UCLA showing that an engineered gut bacterium can be used to reduce the neurotoxic effects of dietary methylmercury www.cell.com/cell-host-mi...

Feel like this paper slipped under the radar on ‘the other platform’ so giving it another airing here. Phage can significantly remodel the bacteriome in faecal samples - yet another confounder 🙄 www.sciencedirect.com/science/arti...

Excited to share a newly published paper from my postdoc years in the Amato Lab (www.kramato.com) - www.microbiologyresearch.org/content/jour.... We showed that the gut microbes from 3 species of primates differentially impact host biology when transplanted into germ free mice.

Soil microbiomes show consistent and predictable responses to extreme events www.nature.com/articles/s41...
