GMbC
@globalmicrobiome.bsky.social
The GMbC is an international consortium of scientists and communities working together to advance microbiome science equitably and ethically. https://microbiomeconservancy.org/
We can't understand the human microbiome if most of humanity is missing from the data That's why we work with researchers and communities around the world to preserve microbial diversity and advance microbiome science for all Honored to be featured in @nytimes.com www.nytimes.com/2026/07/08/m...
Our Bacteria Are Talking. We’ve Just Begun to Understand What They’re Saying.

Do gut bacteria evolve differently in industrialized vs. non-industrialized humans? Our new study reveals that industrialization drives parallel genomic adaptations across gut bacterial species worldwide: www.biorxiv.org/content/10.1... #microbiome #globalhealth #GMbC #genome #evolution
Convergent genomic responses of human gut bacteria to variations in industrialization
To what extent gut bacteria respond to the distinct ecological pressures imposed by human lifestyle remains unclear. Here, we investigate how genomic adaptation in gut bacteria differ between industri...
