Microbial ecology lesson from re-use of open access metagenomic dataset: the case-study of fermented vegetables

Published: May 17, 2024 by FME Lab

Happy to share our last article published online last week 15th of May in Microbiology Spectrum¹.

This study being part of Romane Junker PhD (MaIAge/Micalis/CIRM-BIA laboratories). In this work, we show that the re-use of public 16S amplicon dataset can bring new understanding in the dynamic microbial ecology of fermented vegetables.

During the 1st Food System Conference in Torino last week, Romane also presented a poster pitch of the follow up of this study using new and public metagenomic shotgun data.

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.

On #WorldMicrobiomeDay, Domino with EUFIC (European Food Information Council) has a mission to disseminate food microbiome science publicly.

DOMINO Workshop on genome-scale modelling. How to build innovative and forward-looking methodologies in the field of fermented foods

The last three days, from Monday 24th to Wednesday 26th of June, INRAE (MaiAge & MICALIS) teams organised a workshop on microbial community-level genome scale modelling (GSM) for consortia design.
