Emerging importance of good bacteria in health and science

The gut microbiome plays a pivotal role in human health, influencing digestion, immunity, and even mental well-being. Probiotics, prebiotics, and synbiotics have emerged as promising tools in clinical applications, particularly in treating digestive disorders and boosting immune function. Recent research into the gut-brain axis has revealed the profound impact of gut bacteria on mental health, suggesting psychobiotics as a novel intervention for managing anxiety, depression, and other neurological conditions. Fermented foods and functional foods enriched... see more

Gut-Brain Axis: intricate interplay of the microbiome with brain activity

The Gut-Brain Axis represents a complex, bidirectional communication system between the gastrointestinal tract and the central nervous system, profoundly influencing brain activity. Recent research highlights the intricate interplay of the microbiome— the community of microorganisms in the gut— with neural processes. This relationship affects a range of functions, from mood and cognition to stress response and immune regulation. Microbial metabolites, such as short-chain fatty acids and neurotransmitters, play critical roles in signaling pathways that impact... see more

In Silico Modeling of Phytochemistry and Microbial Interactions: Exploring Plant-Microbe Symbiosis and Biotransformation Pathways

Plant–microbe interactions are significant in controlling plant growth, improving stress tolerance, and initiating the biosynthesis of bioactive compounds in plants. New developments in in silico modeling have of late provided efficiency in studying such intricate relations and control. Rhizobacteria, fungi, and endophytes that exist in the plant environment are likely to affect plant metabolism and enhance the synthesis of compounds, such as alkaloids, flavonoids, and terpenoids. Specifically, the chemical transformations of plants by microbes, such... see more
