The soil Mycobacterium sp. promotes health and longevity through different bacteria-derived molecules in Caenorhabditis elegans
Commensal bacteria and their derivatives hold significant promise as therapeutic interventions to delay aging. However, with the diverse nature of the soil microbiome and the long lifespan of mammalian models, the exploration of the influence of soil bacteria and bacteria-derived molecules on host aging remains limited. We conducted a lifespan screening in Caenorhabditis elegans using plant root bacterial collection. Our screening identified 8 genera of bacterial isolates capable of extending...
