Did you know that you and in fact all living organisms collaborate with millions of tiny microbes every day? And that these microbes are essential for all living beings?
”Microbial Connections” explores the exciting new research field holobiont biology – where host organisms and their associated microbes are viewed as one intertwined system. The expert guests explore how viewing life in this new way stands to transform everything from food production to medical science. Learn how important early life is for shaping your microbiome, why fermented food is so popular, how food production can become more sustainable thanks to microbes, and much more.

What if microbes control your thoughts? Studying evolution and ecology from a holobiont perspective
What if microbes control your thoughts? From shrews to newts to humans, microbes have been shaping life for millions of years. But their influence goes beyond digestion—some even impact behaviour, dominance, and adaptability to new environments. Join us as we dive into the world of microbial connections, uncover the Earth Hologenome Initiative, and explore how these tiny organisms might hold the key to evolution itself. In this episode Professor Tom Gilbert and Editor Christina Lehmkuhl Noer talk to Associate Professor Antton Alberdi from Center for Evolutionary Hologenomics about how to study ecology and evolution from a holobiont perspective.
