During World Microbiome Day, all things microbial are celebrated, as a vibrant and complex area of study that deserves recognition and attention. This year, the theme of the event is Sustainability, focusing debate on how microbes can contribute to a sustainable future. As stated on World Microbiome Day website:
“Despite their ubiquity and diversity, the importance of microbes for maintaining healthy global ecosystems is often overlooked. Microbes already have a tremendous effect on the health and balance of the environments we live in.
Together microbiomes are actively contributing to clean environments, sustaining food systems, mitigating climate change and keeping people healthy.”
