#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! 🌎
