Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in.

Researchers at Yachtolt have been delving into the secrets of probiotics for 90 years.

Yacold also partners with nature portfolio to advance gut microbiome science through the global grants for gut health, an investigator-led research program.

When wildfires rip through a landscape, firefighters have the first and most immediate job.

But then, that burned moonscape often passes into the hands of restoration ecologists

who yank out invasive species and plant native seedlings in their place.

And we try to artificially give a start to these communities that should resemble the

communities that were there prior to the disturbance.

Mateo Garbalado, a plant pathologist at UC Berkeley.

The problem, he says, is that microscopic killers sometimes hitchhike on native seedlings grown in

nurseries. And that's happened at restoration sites in the San Francisco Bay Area, where

restorers hoped that nursery-grown natives called Toyon's and sticky monkey flowers could be reintroduced.

Plant ecologists, we're looking at them and thinking, oh, why are these toions dying here?

Or why are these sticky monkey flowers dying large numbers in this restoration site?

So it happens that each one of those plant species was reintroduced in a restoration effort,

and it had one or sometimes multiple of these pathogens that belonged to the genus

phytoptera, which incidentally is the same genus of the pathogen that causes sudden

of death, and it's also the same genus of the pathogen that caused the orange potato famine.

Garbelato and his colleagues surveyed five native plant nurseries for the
