Figure 1 Mitsuta (2026): Redundancy analysis (RDA) of the abundances of microbial genes and soil chemical properties. Only significant vectors (P < 0.05), as determined by an ANOVA-like permutation test for chemical properties, are shown with blue arrows. Arrow length indicates the strength of the variable’s effect on microbial N cycle gene abundance, and the angle between arrows indicates correlation among variables.

#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
