Novel pathway suggests gut microbiome could be harnessed to lower blood pressure
The gut microbiome could potentially be harnessed to help lower blood pressure, according to a new study that identifies a previously unknown gut microbiota-bile acid signaling pathway targeting hypertension.
Six years of drought reshape soil microbiomes in tallgrass prairie, study finds
A new study tracking soil microbial communities across six years of experimental drought in a tallgrass prairie finds that prolonged water stress diminishes biodiversity, pushing communities toward less predictable, harder-to-reverse configurations.

Soil microbes and the hidden network connecting plants, animals, and humans
Coevolution has shaped Earth’s ecosystems for over a billion years. However, climate change and unprecedented anthropogenic activities have placed immense pressure on the soil ecosystem over the past few decades.
Helpful microbes could battle pathogens in our hospitals and schools - with the help of AI to make it work
Helpful microbes that combat harmful pathogens could be the answer to rising antimicrobial resistance, particularly within built environments such as hospitals, homes and schools, says a new review.
Under the Lens: Plant microbiomes could cut agriculture’s dependence on chemicals, says Davide Bulgarelli
Understanding the hidden microbial communities that surround plant roots could pave the way for more sustainable farming, according to award-winning plant microbiologist Dr Davide Bulgarelli in conversation with Professor Emmanuel Adukwu.
AMI teams up with the International Symposium on Biopolymers to launch new themed collection on microbial polymers
The Journal of Applied Microbiology is joining forces with the International Symposium on Biopolymers to launch a new themed collection called ‘Microbial polymers for industrial and environmental applications’. Guest editors Tanja Narancic and Kevin O’Connor reveal why this is such a fascinating area of research.
Environmental fungi found to alter vaginal mycobiome and cervical disease progression during dysbiosis
