Probiotic Cities: microbiome-integrated design for healthy urban ecosystems

Robinson et al. (2024). Link to paper.

Combining microbiome science and biointegrated design offers opportunities to help address the intertwined challenges of urban ecosystem degradation and human disease. Biointegrated materials have the potential to combat superbugs and remediate pollution while inoculating landscape materials with microbiota can promote human immunoregulation and biodiverse green infrastructure, contributing to ‘probiotic cities’.
