For example, enzymes sourced from bacteria living around hydrothermal vents have been used to support the polymerase chain reaction, the test used for Covid-19 detection. The ocean’s microbes represent the earliest lifeforms on Earth, making them important to study, not only for the evolution of life, but also for biotechnology.

We are talking about the microbiome – the vast collection of bacteria in the human gut. The microbiome has been the focus of research for 20 years – ever since a new technique made it possible to analyse these bacteria quickly and precisely: high-throughput sequencing. In doing so, they induce epigenetic changes.
