- Abstract
The article "Beyond the spin cycle: Understanding the influence of probiotics on household laundry and textiles through fully automated microbial metatranscriptome analysis" examines the use of probiotics in household washing machines and detergents. Studies have shown that probiotic detergents can be a safe and natural option for combating harmful bacteria and reducing the formation of biofilms. A pilot study by Henkel and Eagle Genomics has shown that the number of certain pathogenic bacteria decreases in washing machines treated with probiotics, while beneficial bacteria were more frequently detected. The results support the use of probiotics in detergent formulations to improve the microbiome of laundry and washing machines and have positive effects on health and well-being. However, further studies are needed to deepen the understanding of the factors involved.
