Accumulating evidence implicates metabolites produced by gut microbes as crucial
mediators of diet-induced host-microbial cross-talk. Here, we review emerging data …

Complex microbial communities shape the dynamics of various environments, ranging from
the mammalian gastrointestinal tract to the soil. Advances in DNA sequencing technologies …

Soils harbour some of the most diverse microbiomes on Earth and are essential for both
