New method to identify keystone microbial species
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Keystone species, which are thought to exist in low abundance in microbial communities, are thought to have a disproportionate impact on community stability. It can be difficult to identify these keystone species, especially in the human gut, because systematic eradication cannot be utilised

Study finds new approach for identifying keystone microbial species
Updated : 2 years, 3 months ago IST
Microbial communities are hypothesised to contain keystone species, which can have a disproportionate impact on community stability even if they are present in low abundances. Identifying these keystone species can be difficult, especially in the human gut, because systematic removal cannot

New gut microbe produces smelly toxic gas but defends against pathogens: S
Updated : 2 years, 5 months ago IST
An international team of scientists led by University of Vienna microbiologist Alexander Loy discovered new gut bacteria that just consume taurine and produce the noxious chemical hydrogen sulphide. As a result, the researchers have improved our understanding of the microbial pathways that h

Study discovers training gut's immune system to combat detrimental effects
Updated : 5 months, 1 week ago IST
In a new study, mice with immune systems that had been trained against the microbial protein flagellin did not experience the usual harmful repercussions of taking food additive emulsifiers, pointing to a potential new way to combat numerous chronic inflammatory illnesses. These findings we
