This is great research 🧐

Researchers say fungi from cheese, yogurt, and other foods may be useful in creating new probiotics to help with gut health and conditions such as inflammatory bowel disease

Celebrate by learning about some of the fascinating microbes we study here at the Quadram Institute 🦠

Throughout September, and beyond, we're sharing blogs about the biology of microbes and their roles in health and disease including:

💨 Bilophila wadsworthia - Have you heard of hydrogen sulfide? Even if not, you’d recognise the smell. Hydrogen sulfide is the gas responsible for the lovely rotten egg odour that you come across near stagnant waters and in drains. Bilophia wadsworthia is one bacteria that produces this gas. 50-60% of us have it in our guts

🍬 Ruminococcus gnavus - This bacteria is a normal inhabitant of the gut. Some R. gnavus strains have developed a sweet tooth for the sugars present in the lining of the gut

🗲 Desulfovibrio diazotrophicus - A newly discovered bacterium living in our gut that can fix nitrogen in our guts

🥛 Lactobacillus - These bacteria are important to so many of our microbiomes and are often used in probiotics and food manufacturing systems

🦠 Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron - This is one of the most common bacteria found in our guts, though sometimes it can cause disease.

🤮 Campylobacter - Campylobacteriosis is the illness caused by these bacteria, and is the most common cause of bacterial gastroenteritis worldwide outnumbering Salmonella, toxigenic Escherichia coli and Listeria combined.

🍺 Saccharomyces cerevisiae - As well as being used for brewing, winemaking and baking, it was the first eukaryote to be genome sequenced

🐱 Staphylococci - "These microbes are everywhere, they can be found on humans from our heads to our toes, to our cats and dogs, all the way to the sausages in your fridge
