Does Soil Contribute to the Human Gut Microbiome?

Does Soil Contribute to the Human Gut Microbiome?Soil and the human gut contain approximately the same number of active microorganisms, while human gut microbiome diversity is only 10% that of soil biodiversity and has decreased dramatically with the modern lifestyle. We tracked relationships between the soil microbiome and the human intestinal microbiome. We propose a novel environmental microbiome hypothesis, which implies that a close linkage between the soil microbiome and the human intestinal microbiome has evolved during evolution and is still developing. From hunter-gatherers to an urbanized society, the human gut has lost alpha diversity. Interestingly, beta diversity has increased, meaning that people in urban areas have more differentiated individual microbiomes. On top of little contact with soil and feces, hygienic measures, antibiotics and a low fiber diet of processed food have led to a loss of beneficial microbes. At the same time, loss of soil biodiversity is observed in many rural areas. The increasing use of agrochemicals, low plant biodiversity and rigorous soil management practices have a negative effect on the biodiversity of crop epiphytes and endophytes. These developments concur with an increase in lifestyle diseases related to the human intestinal microbiome. We point out the interference with the microbial cycle of urban human environments versus pre-industrial rural environments. In order to correct these interferences, it may be useful to adopt a different perspective and to consider the human intestinal microbiome as well as the soil/root microbiome as ‘superorganisms’ which, by close contact, replenish each other with inoculants, genes and growth-sustaining molecules.

Healthy soils for healthy plants for healthy humans

The microbiota of the human gut and the plant rhizome are similar in many ways and intricately connected with each other. A healthy plant therefore affects human microbiota and human health.www.embopress.org/doi/full/10.15252/embr.202051069

The people who can’t stop eating dirt

The people who can’t stop eating dirtEating earth is surprisingly common, and while some consider it an eating disorder, others actively encourage it. Why do some people savour the taste of soil?

How modern food can regain its nutrients

How modern food can regain its nutrientsThere are concerns that in our rush to grow food on ever bigger scales, we have inadvertently caused its nutritional content to wane. What can be done to reverse that?

Plant root exudates

Root Exudation of Primary Metabolites: Mechanisms and Their Roles in Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli

Root Exudation of Primary Metabolites: Mechanisms and Their Roles in Plant Responses to Environmental Stimuli - PubMedRoot exudation is an important process determining plant interactions with the soil environment. Many studies have linked this process to soil nutrient mobilization. Yet, it remains unresolved how exudation is controlled and how exactly and under what circumstances plants benefit from exudation. The …

Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota

Root exudate metabolites drive plant-soil feedbacks on growth and defense by shaping the rhizosphere microbiota - Nature CommunicationsPlants can modify soil microbiota through root exudation, but how this process influences plant health in turn is often unclear. Here, Hu et al. show that maize benzoxazinoids released into the soil modify root-associated microbiota and thereby increase leaf defenses of the next plant generation.
