therapeutic action: Pathogen reduction

Winning the battle of intestinal peace with Bacillus—a multifaceted approach to animal health, immunity, and future applications in monogastric livestock production

This review examines how Bacillus bacteria, when added to animal feed, can improve the health and growth of chickens and pigs. These bacteria work by producing beneficial compounds that strengthen the gut, improve digestion, reduce harmful bacteria, and boost the immune system. Bacillus probiotics offer a natural alternative to antibiotics, helping reduce antibiotic resistance while keeping animals healthier and more productive.

Analysis of the Differences in Rhizosphere Microbial Communities and Pathogen Adaptability in Chili Root Rot Disease Between Continuous Cropping and Rotation Cropping Systems

Rotating crops (chili with cotton) instead of continuously planting chili improves soil health by increasing helpful bacteria like Bacillus and reducing harmful fungi like Fusarium that cause root rot disease. Researchers studied how different cropping systems change the mix of microorganisms in soil around plant roots and identified two main disease-causing fungi. This research shows that crop rotation is a natural, chemical-free way to prevent chili disease and maintain productive farmland.

Microbes as Teachers: Rethinking Knowledge in the Anthropocene

Microbes have been the architects of life on Earth for nearly 4 billion years, managing oxygen production, nutrient cycles, and climate stability—yet we rarely recognize their wisdom. This paper argues we should treat microbes as teachers rather than mere subjects of study or exploitation. By reforming education, policy, and how we think about our relationship with microbial life, we can solve modern challenges like climate change and disease while learning to coexist with the microscopic majority that sustains all life.
