«We thought we could use this information to link what's being consumed to the abundance of the microbes in the intact community, thereby linking the biology to the chemistry.»

«That's going to disrupt food chains that sustain the kinds of creatures we're used to seeing at the poles — sea lions, penguins, and whales — and instead promote a microbe - dominated community,» he says.

If it was a mixture of microbes, it would be the perfect sample for a technique she and her colleagues were developing called Hi - C sequencing, which disentangles the genomic sequences of a community of microbe species using formaldehyde to link DNA fragments within the same cell.

Understanding how these microbes interact could help scientists design synthetic communities for use in biotechnology, turning tragedy into progress.

Using cutting edge DNA sequencing technology, the research team found that the microbe communities living in the guts of mice have a pretty regular routine: different types of bacteria hang out in various areas of the intestines in the morning, moving around during the day, and ending up in a completely different place at night.

Using a combination of high throughput methods, we have been able to assess the ecology of microbes and functional pathways in these communities to correlate microbial and functional abundances of the gut microbiome with host genotype / phenotype.
