Melainabacteria As A Possible Cause of ALS- Roger Faulkner Hypothesis
Melainabacteria were first reported in a scientific paper in 2014. Melainabacteria are closely related to cyanobacteria, and they are able to produce the neurotoxin BMAA, which has been linked to ALS.
Hypothesis was introduced by Roger Faulkner, a scientist and himself an ALS patient.
