Research in pigs shows gut microbiota is partially heritable

Comprising billions of microorganisms, the gut microbiota progressively matures after birth in humans and other animals. While environmental factors, and especially diet, are known to have a major influence on microbiota development and composition, the role of genetics remains a topic of debate. In a groundbreaking study recently published in Microbiome, INRAE researchers used pigs to experimentally demonstrate that gut microbiota composition is partly heritable.

EggToMeat - Proof of concept and construction of a project to identify the impact of farming parameters on bacterial flux in the production of broilers

The EggToMeat project aims at identifying the impact of farming parameters on the flux of microbiota along the chicken production chain, from eggs to carcasses. For that purpose, two housing conditions (indoors vs outdoor range) will be compared on a single batch of embryonated eggs.

TANDEM - Transfers in dairy systems: Microbial transfers at the crossroads of agroecological transitions in dairy systems

The TANDEM project aims to better understand how micro-organisms in the dairy food chain respond to the changes associated with agroecological transition.

HOLOGRAIN - How successions of microbial communities in the production chain for cereal-based foods determine final product quality

The HoloGrain initiative mobilises several INRAE teams whose work targets a particular stage in the production chain (pre- or post-harvest) or a specific issue. This network will make it possible to integrate the various stages and to follow a wheat grain holobiont throughout the agri-food chain.

MOTHERS - Monitoring the gut microbiota, the resistance against Salmonella, the animal performance and immune response through an adult, pathogen-free microbiota

The MOTHERS project concerns the control of the gut microbiota in chickens. It aims to inoculate a previously selected microbiota, free of pathogens, to allow the installation of an intestinal microbiota with beneficial effects on the immune response, a barrier effect against salmonella and the improvement of the zootechnical performance of poultry.

MOMIE - Modulation of the oral microbiota by the technological microbiota of a fermented food; influence on the taste perception of the rat

The MOMIE project concerns the study of the influence of a fermented diet on the microbiota of the mouth and on taste perception. The model used is the rat, but the aim is to extrapolate this work to the human holobiont.

INT-BXL - Introgression of the biodegradation capacities of xenobiotics in polluted soils and sediments

The INT-BXL project deals with the bioremediation of polluted river sediments and agricultural soils. In agroecosystems, the contamination of soils by xenobiotic compounds, such as pesticides used in conventional agriculture and antibiotics used to treat livestock or supplied via organic soil fertilisation, can lead to the transfer of these compounds, and/or their degradation intermediaries, towards surface and ground water, thus contaminating all water resources.
