• The acquisition expands Clinical Microbiomics' expertise and offering for new segments such as agriculture, industrial, and environmental ecosystems, and it adds cutting-edge long- read DNA- and RNA sequencing technologies to the extensive portfolio of multi-omics technologies for the microbiome field.
• H. Bjørn Nielsen, CSO of Clinical Microbiomics, "DNASense is a first mover in applying long-read technology broadly across microbiome research and industrial applications.
• Mads Søndergaard, CEO of DNASense, comments on the synergies: "Joining Clinical Microbiomics is a pivotal moment for DNASense.
• The DNASense acquisition facilitates expansion into new applications of microbiome science to better understand diverse biological systems and ecological dynamics.

• But can they improve your mood, too?
• But the short answer, according to my team’s recently published research, is likely yes.
• The beneficial bacteria in probiotics become part of a community of other microscopic organisms living in your digestive system called the gut microbiome.

Studying mood in mice

• So how do you measure the mood of mice?
• We exposed them to poop from either stressed mice or normal mice by sprinkling soiled bedding in their enclosures.
• Microbes from the donor mice started to populate the gut microbiomes of the clean mice.
• Within a few weeks, the clean mice exposed to poop from stressed mice started to develop stress- and anxiety-like behavior, even though nothing else had changed.

Which bacteria affect mood?

• The results of our experiments led us back to our original question: Which bacteria can change your mood?
• In our analysis, we found that a group of bacteria called Lactobacillus was greatly reduced in the stressed mice.
• So we had to come up with a way to test how different strains affect anxious behavior.

• Instead of tackling this colossal task alone, we created a method that other microbiome scientists can also use to look at this group of bacteria as systematically as possible.
• To recreate the same experimental conditions for each species of microbe, we created a group of mice with only six species of bacteria in their microbiome, the bare minimum needed for normal and healthy development, which did not include Lactobacillus.

What’s next?

• We hope that our research will open avenues for other scientists to test different probiotics.
• In the meantime, give the Lactobacillus in your gut some love through a healthy, probiotics-rich diet.
