Third scientific meeting of ANR metasimfood project in Palaiseau
Third scientific meeting of ANR metasimfood project in Palaiseau

The meeting was organised by sayfood partner in the brand new AgroParisTech building in Palaiseau. These two days were focussed on the milestone around the construction of the food models and construction of artificial microbial communities. We are glad that this important milestone is validated. The project will now enter a more ambitious phase, implementing synthetic ecology strategies to model microbial interactions in the project’s two models (wine and fermented vegetables). The meeting was punctuated by a very pleasant dinner at the living-room in Palaiseau.

Exploring the Interconnected World of Microbiomes
Exploring the Interconnected World of Microbiomes

In our contribution to the last Microbiome Support CSA review, coordinated by A. sessitch and T. Kostic1, we reveal the critical roles of microbiomes in maintaining ecosystem health and their extensive interconnectivity across different environments. These diverse microbial communities are exchanged constantly, affecting everything from climate regulation to human health.

Celebrating World Microbiome Day by Inspiring Young Minds with the Wonders of Microbiology

In a unique venture celebrating World Microbiome Day, we organized a series of engaging microbiology workshops at Toulouse-Lautrec Primary School in Vaucresson and another primary school in the southern suburbs of Paris. These workshops aimed to teach children about microbiomes, fermented foods, and the importance of gut health through interactive and hands-on experiences.
