#BAGECO25 came to its end and had a nice close including use of #AI to understand #microbiomes, microbial engineering 🔧🦠 in #agriculture 🌾👩🏻‍🌾 and last but not least @gilbertjacka.bsky.social with a strong message on how microbes are drivers to shape the future of the planetary #health 🌎😷

#BAGECO25 day three highlights: Exciting insights into systems ecology @wilmeslab.bsky.social, HGT in host-microbiome interactions #MizrahiLab, the relevance of plasmids during early life #SørensenLab, and methanogenic Archaea and High Methane Emitters 👤🐮💨 @chriku.bsky.social

Day two at #BAGECO25 was full of soil and plant 🪴 #microbiome… it is really interesting to see how microbial communities could be adjusted to promote “healthy” soil and food production 🍎… also great talks on #ARGs and a vibrant poster session! Looking forward for today’s human microbiome session!

Do you know what is the House Mice Hybrid Zone? Do you know how host #genetics 🧬 and the #environment 🏡 impact #bacteria, #fungi and #parasites?… If you are curious about it or generally interested in #mice 🐭 microbial communities visit me today at P098 from the #BAGECO25 poster session!

Great start for #BAGECO25 w/ interesting talks from the impact of invasive microbes, land use intensity in environmental microbial communities 🌱 💦 to probiotics and gut microbes to promote human health … showing the wide spectrum of #microbiomes and its relevance under #OneHealth context! 🌎

Big thanks to scientific writer Libera Lo Presti for this great little piece on our recent work exploring how proton pump inhibitors (PPIs) and pH affect human gut microbes. Check it out here: go.nature.com/4lf6jNk

Our paper demonstrating that within-species warfare interactions are ecologically important on human skin is now published in Nature Micro! www.nature.com/articles/s41...

It was a great experience to take part at the #LNDW25 at @mdc-berlin.bsky.social as part of the Forslund Lab and present to the general public about the wonders of the gut #microbiome and it’s importance to #health ⚕️… We did a fantastic work at the pub quiz 🤓 💪🏼 and got the golden microscope!!! 🏆🔬

Our paper on bacterial, fungal and parasites #microbiomes of wild spotted hyenas 🍪🐺 is now published at @commsbio.nature.com: doi.org/10.1038/s420... We looked how these 🍄‍🟫🪱🧫 different community members change and associate to mucosal innate and adaptive immunity markers (1/6)

New study showing links between innate and adaptive immune markers and the host-associated gut microbial community in wild #hyena - congrats @vhjarquind.bsky.social and colleagues #microbiome #immunity #MEvoSky #MicroSky www.nature.com/articles/s42...
