World Microbiome Day 2024: Celebrating the might of the miniscule!
Every year on June 27th, we celebrate World Microbiome Day to highlight the vital roles that microbes play in our health, environment, and overall well-being. This special day is dedicated to raising awareness about the incredible world of microbes and their profound impact on our lives.
Microbes, despite their minuscule size, perform essential functions that are crucial for life on Earth. These microbes include bacteria, fungi, viruses, protozoa etc. They play a critical role in health, aiding digestion and immunity; in agriculture, they enhance soil fertility and food production; environmentally, they decompose waste and recycle nutrients; and in biotechnology, they drive innovations like biofuels and probiotics.
This year’s theme for World microbiome day is, "Feed Your Microbes - How Diet Shapes Your Gut Microbiome," to emphasize the significant impact of diet on the gut microbiome and overall health.
