Food microbial fluxes under the magnifying glass of multi-omic data integration

Published: Oct 18, 2023 by FME Lab

In our last article¹ published online this Wednesday 18th of October in frontiers in Microbiology, we demonstrate how an ambitious meta-omics sampling strategy can be holistically integrated to reveal the secrets of microbial flux within food production. Our paper focuses on spoilage scenarios in meat products, but the concept can be applied broadly to all types of food. We demonstrate that, in addition to studying the parameters influencing microbial flux, it is also possible to highlight certain metabolic interactions between micro-organisms. Many thanks to the ANR for funding this project, and a wave of congratulations to all our colleagues in this consortium.

DOMINO 3rd annual meeting in Madrid

After three years, the #DominoEU project has reached full speed, with significant results across all project objectives. The three-day meeting provided an opportunity to review the very busy year of 2025 and the many key findings that can be leveraged in the coming months.

DOMINO Workshop on F3M Food Microbiome Metabolic Modules at CSIC Madrid

The 14th of April 2026, teams from INRAE (MICALIS & MaIAGE) organised a hands-on workshop in Madrid at CSIC, focused on the F3M ecosystem (Food Microbiomes Metabolic Modules) and its associated tools for functional microbiome analysis.
