Investigate archaea with the Eurofins Genomics Microbiome Profiling 3.0 service! In addition to profiling bacteria and fungi, we now offer profiling of the archaea community in your samples. Why did we include archaea? It has been found that archaea are associated with conditions such as irritable bowel disease, obesity, anorexia nervosa, but also with infectious diseases like brain abscesses. Methanogenic archaea in the digestive tract of ruminants are the main producers of the greenhouse gas methane. Archaea also play roles in the microbiomes of the human skin and mouth, they show growth- and health-promoting effects on plants, and are present in the microbiome of corals, intracellular niches in amoebae, protozoa, and termites. The option to profile archaea provides a tool for researchers to broaden the knowledge about the effects and impact of archaea.
