The prevention, mitigation and treatment of depression has become a global issue that needs to be solved urgently. Sayram Ketteki, a traditional natural fermented yoghurt from the region with the world's fourth highest life expectancy, has been known as the "longevity secret", whose longevity and anti-depression factors are speculated to come from its rich microorganisms. Therefore, for the first time, we systematically studied in depth the microbes of Sayram Ketteki, screened a new edible probiotic strain, R6-3, and explored its anti-depression effect in chronic unpredictable mild stress (CUMS)-induced depression in mice.

The microbial mechanism underpinning biochar's ability to reduce emissions of the potent greenhouse gas nitrous oxide (NO) is little understood. We combined high-throughput gene sequencing with a dual-label N-O isotope to examine microbial mechanisms operative in biochar made from Crofton Weed (BC1) or pine wood pellets (BC2) and the NO emissions from those biochar materials when present in chloropicrin (CP)-fumigated soil. Both BC1 and BC2 reduced NO total emissions by 62.
