The present application relates to the technical field of water quality monitoring, and discloses a water sample pollution inspection method guided by microorganism detection, comprising: applying a pulsed electric field to a biochemical response system to reduce the mass transfer resistance of the cell membrane of an indicator microorganism by using a physical pore-forming effect; injecting a fluorescent substrate and synchronously collecting fluorescence emission intensity and backscattering light intensity; correcting the amplitude of the fluorescence emission intensity by using the backscattering light intensity to eliminate physical shielding interference and obtain a pre-steady-state fluorescence emission sequence; intercepting a characteristic value of the change rate of the pre-steady-state fluorescence emission sequence to calculate an intrinsic catalytic turnover index representing the specific catalytic activity of intracellular enzymes, and determining the pollution degree of the water sample to be tested according to the offset of the index relative to a preset reference value; and the present application can quickly identify pollutants with transmembrane mass transfer disorders and eliminate the influence of endogenous activity fluctuations of microorganisms on the detection result by means of the cooperation of electric pore-forming intervention and calculation logic.

Using deep metagenomic sequencing of individual gut microbiomes, coupled with techniques such as detailed long-term diet, fasting, and same-meal postprandial cardiometabolic blood markers analyses, intestinal microbes (defined by clusters of genomes referred to as species-level genome bins (SGBs)) have been identified as associated with different conditions and / or habits. Techniques are disclosed for using food guidance to intentionally alter the composition of the microbiome of an individual. Such alteration may include increasing the presence, abundance, or relative abundance of pro-health indicator microbe(s) and / or decreasing the presence, abundance, or relative abundance of poor health indicator microbe(s).
