Thank you, @7NewsBrisbane and @MarlinaWhop, for sharing details of microbiome research from @ThePopeLab at @QUT's @CMR_QUT. They are developing a probiotic for cows to reduce the amount of methane they burp up. bit.ly/4jjTy4k

We're all familiar with probiotics to improve our gut health but a team of Queensland scientists are developing one for cattle. They're aiming to produce more productive animals and fewer greenhouse gas emissions. @MarlinaWhop

Very much to our surprise, a strain of Limosilactobacillus reuteri drives severe pathology in a mouse model of multiple sclerosis. Pathology was driven by a secondary metabolite that hyperactivates the AhR receptor. See our publication in @CellReports. sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

Our study on drug-gut microbiome interactions is out! 🦠💊 @NatureMicrobiol We show that the #Parkinson's drug entacapone induces iron deficiency in microbes, leading to selective inhibition of microbial activity. Check the full story here: rdcu.be/d0ZAQ

So excited to see this out! Aerated environments can be major sources of methane. This is due to the activities of aerotolerant methanogens. In the process, we show unexpected feedbacks between pollution and climate change. @ning_hall @MBiogeochem biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Aerotolerant methanogens use seaweed and seagrass metabolites to drive marine methane emissions

Methanogenesis is classically thought to be limited to strictly anoxic environments. While oxygenated oceans are a known methane source, it is argued that methanogenesis is driven by methylphosphon...

Good morning South Africa! Join the Climate Change Roundtable at #ISME19, 5:30 today. I'll discuss how microbial biotech is critical for mitigation and adaptation. Our new preprint below sets the scene for why we need microbial ecology to guide this space. biorxiv.org/content/10.1101/…

Methanogenesis inhibition remodels microbial fermentation and stimulates acetogenesis in ruminants

Rumen microbiota enable ruminants to grow on fibrous plant materials but also produce methane, driving 5% of global greenhouse gas emissions and leading to a loss of gross energy content. Methanoge...
