Super poo: the emerging science of stool transplants and designer gut bacteria 

As more people turn to faecal transplants for their health benefits, researchers are harnessing the power of high-quality poo in new treatments that can simply be swallowed

People are building libraries of the very best that poo has to offer, and BiomeBank is one part of the effort to categorise premium stool strains

Good poo donors are so hard to find they’re sometimes called 'unicorns'. These elusive, healthy creatures service a market for faecal transplants that is growing rapidly as evidence of its benefits mounts.

Emerging science shows that a human’s microbiome — their constellation of gut microbes — has a far greater effect on health than anyone previously imagined. This enormous ecosystem we host in our bodies includes bacteria, fungi, viruses and more.
