0:05.8 | Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years. |
0:11.0 | Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program. |

0:23.9 | That's y-A-K-U-L-T dot-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.6 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. |

0:42.6 | That means danger to a chimpanzee. Chimps use this call known as an alert who to warn each other about a potential threat like a dangerous snake on the forest floor. |

1:08.9 | They seem to be able to understand what another one sees |

1:23.9 | to study the ability of chimps to modify their calls based upon the knowledge of others. |
1:29.9 | They hit a fake snake on the ground and then used a loud speaker to broadcast chimp calls. |
1:35.6 | In some cases, the speaker played that alarm call, the alert who, suggesting to listeners that |
