Gly performs as an inhibitor of 5-enolpyruvylshikimate-3-phospate synthase (EPSP synthase), not only in plants, but also in bacteria. An inhibiting effect on EPSP synthase from intestinal microbiota has been reported, affecting mainly beneficial bacteria. To the contrary, Clostridium spp. and Salmonella strains are shown to be resistant to Gly. Consequently, researchers have suggested that Gly can cause <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/dysbiosis" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>dysbiosis</span></a>, a phenomenon which is characterised by an imbalance between beneficial and pathogenic <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/microorganisms" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>microorganisms</span></a>. The overgrowth of bacteria such as <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/clostridia" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>clostridia</span></a> generates high levels of noxious metabolites in the <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/brain" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>brain</span></a>, which can contribute to the development of neurological deviations.

However, more studies are required to determine the implication of the most internationally used herbicide, Gly, in behavioural disorders."</p><p><a href="https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/31442459/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/314424</span><span class="invisible">59/</span></a> </p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Monsanto" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Monsanto</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/EU" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>EU</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/USA" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>USA</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Canada" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Canada</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Roundup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Roundup</span></a></p>

Marine #microorganisms are crucial for #ocean health.

#Bacteria, #archaea, #fungi, #algae and #viruses make up most of the biomass in the seas and form the base of marine food webs.

They support nutrient cycling and drive crucial biogeochemical processes, including key steps in the carbon, nitrogen and silicon cycles.

Ocean modelling must evolve to take their biological complexity into account.

"I like to define it as a multi-species approach to growing #food in #water...the three #species in an #aquaponics system are #fish, #plants, and #microorganisms."

"...there are people around the world who are using it to address real #hunger and real crisis...it does play a role."

"#Nature requires balance."
