The White House will announce the initiative on May 13 to jumpstart microbe research that would encompass all those that are found in animals, air, plants, soil and water. The government is hoping that gaining more information would give insight on how to fight disease, increase food production, and fight climate change.
The National Microbiome Initiative (PDF) will work with other organizations interested in the research, including University of Michigan and Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation (JDRF), One Codex, The BioCollective, the University of California, and Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. The program will have a total of $521 million in funding, with $121 million from the federal government and $400 million funding from private organizations.

Some experts believe that understanding microbiomes could also help solve crimes. Forensic scientists can use the microbial trail left by people as they go places, much like how detectives solve crime using DNA and fingerprints left behind by criminals.

Profoundly stupid. Bacteria comprises the largest phylum of life on the planet by a factor of millions, perhaps billions. Attacking the science of bacteria as a single study can only derive from the mind of bureaucrats bent on running the world.
Try this, with no justification the government can require special licensure for any process involving bacteria. Nothing escapes that trap, not going to the potty, not breathing, not eating, not sex, nothing.
Now Obola discovered bacteria!
Smartest. pResident. Evah.
We have two parasites, Barry and Mooch, living in the White Crib - study them.
It shouldn’t be hard to track the spirochete clown in the White House then.
I don’t know the technical merits, but I do know they’ll find all the really bad stuff along with the good.
Sounds like Biowarfare to me.
fecal matter = obama dna
I would classify them as viruses, bacteria are far more personable.
I’d say parasites.
Obama & Harvard Law suggests that bacteria have rights
under the US Constitution.
They are people, too, and entitled to invade and
colonize all immune deficient bodies (the very young,
the very old, the infirmed, those inject by
terrorists brought in by the DO”J”)
except, of course, the very special
in America: the EXEMPT
(Congress, SCOTUS and the White Mosque).
OH great!! Now we can not discriminate against bacteria.
#BlackteriaMatter
More countercultural medical fads.

just eat yogurt and you will live forever.
