#Microbial research at Earlham Institute is applying data-driven biology to reveal the hidden diversity of microbial life—from #protists, soil, and #fungi, to communities in our gut—we're working to deepen our understanding of how these complex dynamics shape our health, food, and environment.

This image depicts a nematode with fluorescently labeled bacteria in its intestine (left), illustrating microbial metabolic input. On the right, fluorescently marked epidermal lysosomes (top), intestinal lysosomes (middle), and lipid droplets (bottom) highlight the organelles engaged in lysosome-dependent lipid degradation. Together, the image visualizes a microbiota–lysosome axis through which bacterial tryptophan metabolism reprograms host lipid homeostasis. Image Credit: Kenan Zhang
