How and why SPRINT are studying microbiomes
In the past year, we have gathered hundreds of samples across the SPRINT case study sites (Click here for more information). Many of these samples will be used in microbiome analyses, including: soil samples, gut samples from fish, fecal samples from humans and livestock, and nasal swabs from humans. We will analyse the composition of microbes in these samples. All of these samples contain millions of bacteria, fungi and other micro-organisms, which in combination, are called the microbiome.

NEW open access publication: Dissipation kinetics, residue modeling and human intake of endosulfan applied to okra (Abelmoschus esculentus) Washing and cooking okra gives about 55% reducion in endosulfan residues. The methods used her form a suitable way to assess the safety of pesticide residues in edible fruit and vegetables. |
