24.01.2022 Microbial communities can create a second skin on the surface of their host (human, animal, or plant) acting like a barrier against the environment (dangerous #microbes). They can also interact with the host from within #diversitymatters #WorldMicrobiomeDay

24.01.2022 Happy World Microbiome Day for tomorrow 27th June. Celebrating the microbiology that drives health in our farming systems and in our guts. Better understanding... of microbiome function is helping the world transition to more sustainable food production, healthier environments and improved mental health.

16.01.2022 India News Australia featured this article 'Exploring synergy in Indo-Australian agribusiness trade post COVID-19', in it's first edition digital newspaper this week. The article, co-authored by HIE Professor Brajesh Singh, Director of the Global Centre for Land-Based Innovation, with Prof Sapna Narula, Nalanda University, India, discusses the five-pronged engagement strategy recommended in a report prepared for both governments for strengthening Australia-India agribusiness and trade.

15.01.2022 The theme of World Microbiome Day 2020 is #diversitymatters - raising awareness of the importance of microbial diversity to sustain and increase the diversity of microbes in humans, animals, soils and water throughout our world for the future of our planet. https://www.facebook.com/WorldMicrobiomeDay/videos/721270965299006/

15.01.2022 Trillion of microbes call the human body home. While some reside in the skin & mouth, 90 to 95% of our microbiome is in our gut. Research is linking specific bacteria, or lack of them, with health issues like heart disease or mental health. #WorldMicrobiomeDay #MindYourMicrobes

14.01.2022 This years' campaign " #Keepsoilalive, #Protectsoilbiodiversity" urges us to focus our attention on the workers belowground - from tiny bacteria to agile millip...edes and slimy earthworms - all of which contribute to processes that are indispensable to life on Earth.

14.01.2022 From soil to oceans microbes are everywhere. Thanks to its overarching nature, knowledge of the potential of microbial systems, or microbiomes, throughout the food chains, is seen as a promising means to ensuring the sustainability of our food system. #WorldMicrobiomeDay

12.01.2022 The @CropGlobal has assembled a consortium of ~150 scientific groups across the globe to fill key knowledge gaps to expedite microbiome innovations in sustainable agriculture. We are still open for collaboration particularly in Asia, Africa and S America. #WorldMicrobiomeday For details on how to take part in this exciting initiative, please visit: globalsustainableagriculture.org

11.01.2022 Trillions of microbes call the human body home. Fourteen years ago, a team led by Karen Nelson published the first major human microbiome study. Today, research... is linking specific bacteria, or lack of them, with health issues like heart disease or mental health.
