Genomic analysis of miso microbiomes, homemade vs. commercial
Genomic analysis of miso microbiomes, homemade vs. commercial
Misomics uses genomic analysis to compare the bacterial composition of homemade miso against commercial varieties, exploring whether traditional miso-making and eating habits help maintain a healthier gut microbiome.
The project has run public workshops (most recently December 2024), with project updates continuing into 2025.
