Fantastic to see this comprehensive study of water kefir pangenomes, led by Samuel Breselge, now published “The core microbiomes and associated metabolic potential of water kefir as revealed by pan multi-omics".

I am so happy to successfully defend my PhD work after 4 incredible years! This would not have been possible without the immense support of my supervisors, my partner, my friends, and family. Thank you to the examiners for such a great experience to share my work!

Do food microbiome transmit to the gut microbiome?
An integrative analysis from @nsegata, @pauldcotter & colleagues with >20,000 human metagenomes revealed an overlap between food and human microbiomes of 1,409 eukaryotic species-level genome bins:

Nice piece in the T-Research magazine providing, for a general audience, an overview of the @teagasc related outputs from the EU funded MASTER project (applying microbiome based solutions to the food chain)
The MASTER project focused on harnessing food chain microbiomes to benefit the global agri-food industry. Read more about it in the latest issue of TResearch: bit.ly/4dzeY9U
@MASTER_IA_H2020 @pauldcotter @Soilmicrobio @SineadMWaters @mairead_coakley
ALT MASTER researchers created a unified approach to the analysis of food chain microbiomes. A researcher is seen swabbing equipment for analysis.
