Precise reason for health benefits of dark chocolate: Thank hungry gut microbes

November 25, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

The health benefits of eating dark chocolate have been extolled for centuries, but the exact reason has remained a mystery — until now.

Microbes turn back the clock as research discovers their potential to reverse aging in the brain

August 13, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Research from APC Microbiome Ireland (APC) at University College Cork (UCC) published today in the leading international scientific journal Nature Aging introduces a novel approach to reverse aspects of aging-related deterioration in the brain and cognitive function via the microbes in the gut. As our population ages one of the key global challenges is to develop strategies […]

Belowground microbial solutions to aboveground plant problems

July 9, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

Land plants — plants that live primarily in terrestrial habitats and form vegetation on earth — are anchored to the ground through their roots, and their performance depends on both the belowground soil conditions and the aboveground climate. Plants utilize sunlight to grow through the process of photosynthesis where light energy is converted to chemical […]

Viruses — lots of them — are falling from the sky

March 23, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

An astonishing number of viruses are circulating around the Earth’s atmosphere — and falling from it — according to new research from scientists in Canada, Spain and the U.S. The study marks the first time scientists have quantified the viruses being swept up from the Earth’s surface into the free troposphere, that layer of atmosphere […]

Ulcerative colitis linked to missing gut microbes

January 30, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

About 1 million people in the United States have ulcerative colitis, a serious disease of the colon that has no cure and whose cause is obscure. Now, a study by Stanford University School of Medicine investigators has tied the condition to a missing microbe. The microbe makes metabolites that help keep the gut healthy. “This […]

The microbial life of sourdough

January 27, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

In a study of 500 sourdough starters spanning four continents, scientists have garnered new insights into the environmental factors that contribute to each sourdough starter’s microbial ecosystem, and how different types of microbes influence both a sourdough’s aroma and how quickly the sourdough rises. The results may surprise sourdough enthusiasts. “We didn’t just look at […]

Connection between household chemicals and gut microbiome

January 9, 2021 by Captain Organic Planet

A team of researchers for the first time has found a correlation between the levels of bacteria and fungi in the gastrointestinal tract of children and the amount of common chemicals found in their home environment. The work, published this month in Environmental Science and Technology Letters, could lead to better understanding of how these semi-volatile […]

Commonly used mouthwash could make saliva significantly more acidic, change microbes

March 28, 2020 by Captain Organic Planet

The first study looking at the effect of chlorhexidine mouthwash on the entire oral microbiome has found its use significantly increases the abundance of lactate-producing bacteria that lower saliva pH, and may increase the risk of tooth damage. A team led by Dr Raul Bescos from the University of Plymouth’s Faculty of Health gave a […]
