0:00.0 | Understanding the human body is a team effort. That's where the Yachtel group comes in. |
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. |
0:19.6 | To learn more about Yachtolt, visit yawcult.co.j.p. |
0:23.9 | That's y-A-K-U-L-T-C-O-J-P. |
0:28.4 | When it comes to a guide for your gut, count on Yacolt. |
0:33.5 | This is Scientific Americans' 60-second science. |
0:37.2 | I'm Steve Merski. Got a minute? |

1:09.5 | compared with the more malefluous Himalayan forest thrush. |
1:15.9 | One of the researchers, Shashank Dalvi of India's National Center for Biological Sciences, |
1:21.9 | and the Wildlife Conservation Society, |
1:24.2 | likened the two different birds to Rod Stewart versus Adele. Further analysis, |
1:30.8 | including of the bird's DNA, confirmed that these song differences were indicative of these |
1:35.7 | birds indeed belonging to two separate species. The finding is in the journal Avian Research. |
1:42.1 | The discovery of a new bird species is relatively rare since the year |
