To better understand these plant and microbe partnerships, the researchers examined root microbiomes from multiple crop species grown in different soil types.

Like any pandemic, the Black Death was simultaneously a biological and a social event—shaped by both the innate characteristics of a microbe and such all-too-human factors as political systems, religious beliefs and public-health responses.

Until recently, though, it was unclear whether this microbe contributes to depression, whether depression changes the microbiome, or whether another factor explains the connection.

Many of our “symptoms” of disease actually represent ways in which some damned clever microbe modifies our bodies or our behavior such that we become enlisted to spread microbes.

In other words, finding certain microbes in people who age more slowly does not necessarily mean those bacteria are responsible for slowing the aging process.

Modern plastics have introduced an enormous new collection of potential carbon sources into the environment, but many of these materials remain chemically inaccessible to microbes.

The rapid spread of microbes, and the rapid course of symptoms, mean that everybody in a local human population is quickly infected and soon thereafter is either dead or else recovered and immune.
