Excited for the start of #fermentation2022 with opening talk by Karen Wang Diggs @ChouAmiFerments on medicinal plants and fermentation. Looking forward to three days of fermented food talks!
After that inspiring first session #ISME18, I’m even more excited for our session tomorrow on food microbial ecology with @pauldcotter, Nick Bokulich, Marie-Christine Champomier-Verges, and many more.

Looking forward to presenting at what promises to be a great session put together by @MariaLMarco and Marie-Christine Champomier-Verges @teagasc @TeagascFood @Pharmabiotic @VistaMilk @fhi_tweets @MASTER_IA_H2020 @FrontMicrobiol
Our CTO, @pauldcotter, will be presenting at @ISME_microbes #ISME22 next Monday at a session focusing on food microbiology isme18.isme-microbes.org/mic…. Paul will be happy to chat to you about SeqBiome’s genome/microbiome sequencing, bioinformatics and data interpretation services

Interested in antimicrobial peptides and bacteriocins? Here you have a complete set of protocols useful bacteriocin works. Thanks to Ulm and NTNU for a nice collaboration, in the EU project Ifermenter. bio-protocol.org/e4477

Amazing talk by @MariaLMarco on how certain probiotics can generate electricity! 🦠 ⚡️ #ISAPP2022 – at Sitges, Spain
Congrats to Glory Bui on winning a ISAPP SFA poster award @ISAPPscience @ISAPPSFA! She has done an amazing job studying how Lcasei modulates intestinal epithelial cells through secreted compounds made during growth in milk.

Half way home from @ISAPPscience. No work-related travel from now until @ISME_microbes in August. Looking forward to an exciting session there, convened by @MariaLMarco and Marie Christine isme18.isme-microbes.org/mic…
Our new pub shows how lactic acid bacteria reduce their extracellular environment by blending #fermentation and respiration. This ability for extracellular electron transfer expands how we can apply LAB in #foods and as #probiotics

Our latest pub shows what happens when resistant starch and whole grains are combined in a diet. Metatranscriptomes reveal an overwhelming effect of the resistant starch on gut microbiome stress-response and carbohydrate metabolism pathways.

Read our new perspective article on why it is important to have microbiological research that considers geo-socio-cultural contexts in which Inuit fermented foods are made oaepublish.com/mrr/article/v… #GutHealth #FermentedFoods #microbiology
My latest blog explains why microbes in fermented foods are not the same as microbes we call probiotics. Do fermented foods contain probiotics? - International Scientific Association for Probiotics and Prebiotics (ISAPP) isappscience.org/do-fermente…

Winter Quarter Update (1/7): With the rapid rise nationwide in the number of COVID-19 infections caused by the Omicron variant and the likelihood that holiday gatherings will only further increase infections, UC campuses are implementing additional mitigations.
Karen Scott and I will be talking about what it means when we use the terms probiotic, prebiotic, postbiotic, synbiotic and fermented foods in this special free webinar tomorrow!
Join us for our upcoming free webinar on December 9 (11:00 – 12:30 pm ET): “What’s What?! Probiotics, Postbiotics, Prebiotics, Synbiotics, And Fermented Foods”
