Contaminated environment microbiomes

Enhancing microbiomes to find solutions to important environmental challenges.

Food chain microbiome

Understanding the food structure and microbiome of retail vegetables and meat products from farm until consumption to improve their shelf life, safety and health benefits.

Human gut microbiome

Unlocking the secrets of the human gut microbiome to develop the understanding and interventions to promote positive health benefits and disease prevention.

Insect gut microbiome

Enhancing the gut microbiome of insects to enable them to reduce waste in our environment.

Animal production microbiome

Understanding the cattle microbiome to promote happier, healthy cows that require less antibiotic and chemicals.

Plant health microbiome

Solving the mysteries of the plant microbiome to develop new crop management strategies, increase crop health and productivity, and help meet increasing global food demands.

Publication alert – Do small RNAs unlock the below ground microbiome-plant mystery?

Explores the below-ground world of microbiomes (bacteria and fungi) and plants, and how they interact and communicate with each other through inter-kingdom signalling. How these interactions play out can determine the plant’s health in both disease suppressive and non-suppressive soils.

Publication alert – Omics applications to understand food system microbiomes.

Omic advancements will enable a greater understanding into food system microbiomes along the entire continuum from farm to fork, with benefits for farmers, consumers and the environment.

Designing resilient microbiomes: systems biology for functional prediction

MOSH researchers are using multi-omic and predictive modelling to enhance the microbiomes for a range of amazing applications. However, creating highly detailed models of microbiomes for a specific functional benefit presents a significant challenge due to the complexity of the biological system.
