05/2025: Are microorganisms the key for “Planetary Health”?
Michael Schloter gives insights into the crucial role of microbiomes for the “Planetary Health” concept in his talk at the Munich Pint of Science – From meteor to microscopes on May 19th.
Microbiomes are an essential element of the "Planetary Health" concept, playing a vital role in ecosystem function and performing key tasks that sustain the planet’s health. They also interact closely with nearly all higher eukaryotes—including animals, plants, and humans—contributing significantly to host health. While we are beginning to recognize that microbiomes across various ecosystems interact, our understanding of how microbiomes from different environments influence one another and impact human health remains limited.
