Study: Diet has much stronger impact than defensins on gut microbes
Updated : 2 years, 4 months ago IST
The composition of the intestinal microbiota is influenced by a variety of factors, including nutrition and the body's production of the intestinal defence molecule defensins, which has been discovered by researchers at Ume University in Sweden. Instead, they discovered a potential function

Here's why microbes in the deep ocean live without sunlight
Updated : 3 years, 1 month ago IST
A new study reverses the idea that the bulk of life in the ocean is fueled by photosynthesis via sunshine, revealing that many ocean microbes in fact get their energy from hydrogen and carbon monoxide. It has always been a mystery as to how microbes growing in deepest parts of the sea surviv
