Thursday, May 13, 2021 Humans have been harnessing microbial activity since our earliest efforts to turn barley into beer or grapes into wine. But beyond the ecological theories at the heart of fermentation, engineering whole bacterial communities has thwarted scientists because of the unpredictability of nature itself - species move in, species move out: change is constant. In findings published today in Nature Ecology & Evolution, a team of researchers at Yale’s West Campus have turned the tables on previous work to manipulate communities of microorganisms, also known as microbiomes, to p...

Center for PFAS Research May 4, 2021 Dr. Angela Wilson's research highlights insights about the potential impact of PFAS on human, animal, and plant health, their transport and absorption in soils, water, and air, and potential mitigation strategies. Dr. Angela Wilson is a John A. Hannah Distinguished Professor in the Department of Chemistry. Her group investigates several different aspects of PFAS interactions using a variety of computational chemistry approaches to gain molecular-level insight about (1) their potential impact on human, animal, and plant health; (2) their transport and abso...

AgBioResearch MSU greenhouses: Infrastructure that leads to innovation Greenhouses are an invaluable resource for faculty and students, but to maintain MSU’s leadership in plant science, upgrades are critical. April 29, 2021 Greenhouses are an invaluable resource for faculty and students, but to maintain MSU’s leadership in plant science, upgrades are critical. Strolling through the greenhouses on the campus of Michigan State University as part of her daily routine, Chrislyn Particka is always thinking. Always planning. Always considering new and creative ways to utilize the space — and...

Improving virus management in the Australian wine industry April 22nd, 2021 By Vinehealth Australia Fiona Constable, the Research Leader for Microbiology, in the Microbial Sciences, Pests and Diseases group at Agriculture Victoria, says five things are critical for improving virus management in the Australian wine industry: understanding vectors, using high health planting material, improving surveillance, improving diagnostics and getting better at farm-gate hygiene. “We desperately need to get a better handle on the transmission aspects of grapevine viruses in Australia,” Constable said...
