Nowadays, most of Western consumers are aware that a targeted diet could be an important tool for fighting ageing and diseases such as hypertension, diabetes, and obesity. Microorganisms may be exploited for setting up novel foods that, beside their nutritional value, may positively impact on consumers’ health. Some microorganisms may benefit host when ingested as viable cells carried by food and beverages. This falls in the intriguing field of probiotics, recently brought forward by the numerous probiotic claims rejected by the European Food Safety Authority. This research topic includes research articles and reviews/perspectives that (i) contribute to understand the mechanism underlying the health effects of probiotic microorganisms; (ii) show integrated approaches for selecting new probiotics; (iii) report about non-dairy food items as novel carriers of probiotics; and (iv) deal with biologically active compounds from microorganisms.

How is the handling of contested “objects” from the German colonial era shaped in ethnological Museums in Germany and Cameroon? This ethnographic study connects, for the first time, approaches from ethnology, (international) law, (art) history and museology which constitute the multidisciplinary field of “return” to deal with this question. Two current return claims of things from Cameroon at ethnological museums in Munich and Berlin take centre stage: Tange/Schiffschnabel and Ngonnso’/Schalenträgerfigur. The reconstruction of the cultural biographies of the contested items documents their part as points of intersection in complex networks of relations and stakeholders from the 19th century to this day. These networks connect people and institutions in Cameroon and Germany and their diverse conceptions and claims on these things in a versatile manner. Return claims, according to the thesis, appear as a magnifying lens which discloses diverging conceptions of things and ontologies. Wie gestaltet sich der Umgang mit umstrittenen „Objekten“ aus der deutschen Kolonialzeit in ethnologischen Museen Deutschlands und in Kamerun? Mit dieser Frage beschäftigt sich diese ethnografische Studie, die erstmals ethnologische, (völker)rechtliche, (kunst)historische und museologische Zugänge zum interdisziplinären Feld des Themas „Rückgabe“ verknüpft. Zwei aktuelle Rückgabeforderungen von Dingen aus Kamerun an ethnologische Museen in München und Berlin stehen dabei im Mittelpunkt: Tange/Schiffschnabel und Ngonnso‘/Schalenträgerfigur. Die Rekonstruktion der kulturellen Biographien der umstrittenen Dinge vom 19. Jahrhundert bis heute belegt ihre Rolle als Knotenpunkte in komplexen Beziehungs- und Akteursnetzen. Diese Netzwerke verbinden auf vielfältige Weise Menschen und Institutionen in Kamerun und Deutschland sowie deren unterschiedliche Vorstellungen und Ansprüche auf diese Dinge. Rückgabeforderungen wirken, so die These, wie ein Vergrößerungsglas, welches divergierende Dingverständnisse und Ontologien zutage treten lässt.
