THE NEW ANTIBIOTICS. "Just as antibiotics indiscriminately kill both good and bad bacteria in the gut, fungicides and biocides impede the soil’s innate defenses. Studies have shown that gentler practices such as crop rotation, tillage, and fertilization can influence ecological processes in the soil, and may encourage the establishment of microbial communities capable of suppressing disease." https://lnkd.in/eBK_vZe View in LinkedIn

"MICROBES can produce alkaloids that deter insect pests, reducing the need for applied pesticides. Microbes fix atmospheric nitrogen, and solubilize phosphorus, which can replace the need for mineral fertilizer. Microbes improve soil aggregation, increasing both soil aeration and soil water holding capacity in ways that may reduce the need for intensive irrigation management or deep ploughing." https://lnkd.in/eQvzCYA View in LinkedIn

BIO VS CHEMICAL FARMING. "Microbial functions parallel many of the management actions humans perform to enhance crop growth in agroecosystems." https://lnkd.in/eQvzCYA View in LinkedIn

"PHOTOSYNTHESIS is not the only example of quantum effects in nature." https://lnkd.in/eDJed9B View in LinkedIn

IT IS ALL ABOUT ECOLOGICAL BALANCE. “This suggests we might be able to encourage disease-fighting bacterial communities by selecting for the right number and combination of species." Like the gut, the soil is an open system that allows bacteria to come and go, and competition for food and nutrients determines community structure." https://lnkd.in/eBK_vZe View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM EFFECTS. "Tunnelling of light-mass particles is a quintessential quantum effect well studied even at the dawn of quantum physics. In biology, it is evident that long-range electron tunnelling and hydrogen tunnelling play important roles in biological redox reactions and enzyme catalysis, respectively." https://lnkd.in/eRUdQZj View in LinkedIn

SOIL DRUGS. "Reintroducing microorganisms into the soil, together with the organic matter that they feed upon, has the potential to be a key part in the next big revolution of human health -- the development of sustainable agriculture and food security based on restored soil health. Just as in the case of the human microbiome, the soil drugs of the future are the ones full of friendly germs, and the foods they like to eat." https://lnkd.in/eyzuPzu View in LinkedIn

QUANTUM CELL DIVISION. "As centrioles play a major role in cell division and perform mirror-like activities with high precision, the possibility of quantum entanglement mediated by the quantum optical effects between centrioles has been suggested." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn

UNCULTURABLE. "Taking into consideration that >99% of environmental microbes are still unculturable under laboratory conditions, application of metagenomic approach has great advantages for investigating the structure and functional potentials of various microbial communities." https://lnkd.in/e5gJ7Hi View in LinkedIn

OPTICAL CILIAL WAVEGUIDES. "As they bear structural resemblance to centrioles, these cilia may act as waveguides for photons in the visible, ultraviolet and infrared spectra in human cells, while simultaneously extracting quantum information on polarization, angular and orbital momentum from photons." https://lnkd.in/eTtJ_KE View in LinkedIn
