In the past few decades, Lactobacillus and Bifidobacterium genera were the main bacteria to be used as probiotics. One of the reasons for such attention was that these bacteria have the ability to thrive aerobically and are simple to package for sale. New Auramertrix Olfactics blog , introduced on MEBO blog site, talks about these and emerging probiotics. 

Our bodies are home to a diverse array of microorganisms that play a critical role in our overall health and well-being. Understanding the intricacies of these microbial communities is crucial for diagnosing and treating a range of diseases, from irritable bowel syndrome to cancers and obesity. The challenge lies in processing and interpreting the vast amounts of data generated by these studies. That's why the development of new data visualization tools is essential for unlocking the full potential of microbiome research.  The latest methods for visualizing and analyzing microbial population structures include freely accessible web-based tools such as Visualization and Analysis of Microbial Population Structures (VAMPS), MicrobiomeAnalyst, Mian, gcMeta, Microbiome Toolbox, and R-based Genepiper and MANTA. The gut microbiome changes rapidly under the influence of different factors such as age, dietary changes or medications to name just a few.  Exploring and understanding chang...

Human microbiome research, the study of the microbial communities (including  fungi, bacteria and viruses) that inhabit the human body,  is a rapidly growing field of  research that  has led to a greater understanding of the complex interactions between the human body and the microorganisms that inhabit it.  Microbiome research has increased dramatically in recent years, driven by advances in technology and significant reductions in the cost of analysis. Research  has unlocked a wealth of data,  leading to the discovery of previously unknown interactions and effects, with the potential to lead to new diagnostic techniques and interventional strategies.  Limitations remain including the high levels of noise in the samples, lack of unique connections between biological interpretations and experimental observations and unreliable comparisons across samples. But the potential for microbiome-based therapies, diagnostics and dietary modifications is inc...
