microbe

These soil-dwelling microbes fix nitrogen for specialized plants like legumes in return for sugars and protection.

Our study shows that the biggest opportunity is using sugar to feed microbes that make protein.

Extremely sick patients like Patterson require bespoke phage cocktails that perfectly match their microbes, and may even need new phages as the bacteria evolve.

Their analyses revealed a variety of living and possibly active microbes in the most arid areas.

Once the gut barrier is breached, even friendly microbes can stir up inflammation, causing health issues ranging from overweight to obesity, infections to autoimmune disease, and mild cognitive impairment to Alzheimer's.
