Disinfecting everything that we can in the hospital also kills beneficial microbes and leave no competition for the harmful microbes. Maybe we need to just open a window to allow some beneficial microbes into the mix. Or we can just give everyone a puppy.🐾 #CSUBmicrobiome

Individuals with gastrointestinal health issues may have dysbiosis of their gut microbiota. The thought of completely wiping their gut microbiome clean with antibiotics and transplanting healthy microbes sounds dangerous but it may fix the problem 😬 #CSUBmicrobiome

Porphyria, also known as nori, is a common food in Japan. Humans don't have an enzyme to break down the carbohydrates that nori contains but Japanese people have been eating it for so long that their microbes in their gut have genes for digesting the materials. #CSUBmicrobiome

The Biology Graduate Club's first hike was a success! Can't wait for the next one! 😁🥾🏞️

@NADeatherage That is so cute 😍

Food gives animals the nutrients they need so they no longer need the original genes that made the nutrients themselves. Does this mean if in the future we run out of certain food that gives us specific nutrients, our body will turn those genes back on? 🤔🧬 #CSUBmicrobiome

Bacteria inhabits the skin but so do viruses, fungi and arthropods. It has even been hypothesized that the human papillomavirus (HPV) is a normal component of the human skin microbiome! 😲😱🤢 #CSUBmicrobiome

Microbes, like ecosystems, have a certain resilience to change. To be healthy we need the right food as well as the right microbes. A combination of both. And to be healthy, we have to change our eating habits to eventually change our own microbes. 🚫 🍔 🚫🍦🚫🧁 #CSUBmicrobiome

Wolbachia is a bacteria that kills, feminises, or eliminates the need for males in different organisms. Hmmm....I think Wolbachia is my favorite bacteria as well @edyong209 🤔 #CSUBmicrobiome #icontainmultitudes #malesareanevolutionarydeadend

@NeshNour I know! I thought the same thing! 😂

[Greene the Scientist @greenescience21]

@TTXgirl Of course! 😁

I think the CSUB Biology Graduate Students should take a field trip to the Netherlands to visit Micropia 😁 🧫🧪🇳🇱 #CSUBmicrobiome

The tail of the flatworm Paracatenula will re-grow a brain if cut in half but the brain alone will not produce a tail. The tail contains the bacteria with the energy and skill to regenerate! Awesome! #CSUBmicrobiome #icontainmultitudes
