<h4>Introduction</h4>Mosquitoes of the subfamily <i>Culicinae</i> transmit pathogens of major medical and veterinary importance, particularly in tropical regions where urbanization and ecological change promote arbovirus circulation. In Colombia, rural <i>Culicinae</i> species are diverse and harbor microbiomes …
Read PDF<i>Streptococcus agalactiae,</i> or group B <i>Streptococcus</i> (GBS), is an opportunistic pathogen that asymptomatically colonizes the vaginal tract of up to 30% of healthy individuals. However, during pregnancy, it is associated with adverse pregnancy outcomes, and …
Read PDFNutritional studies in the cattle typically focus on the rumen and its microbial environment, leaving other parts of the gastrointestinal (GI) tract largely unexplored. Thus, underlying molecular mechanisms and the responses to dietary treatment in …
Read PDFAn extremely halophilic archaeon named strain PRR65<sup>T</sup> was isolated from a salt crystal of salted seaweed knots which were purchased from a supermarket in Wuhu, China. It exhibited an ability to hydrolyze starch. Strain PRR65<sup>T</sup> …
Read PDFThe efficient enzymatic conversion of lignocellulose into fermentable sugars is essential for producing sustainable biofuels and biochemicals. During a screening for lignocellulose-degrading microorganisms, a novel bacterial strain, designated KULCS107T, was isolated from soil associated with …
Read PDFArchaea are highly diverse and represent a primary life domain, but the majority of them remain uncultured. Currently, 16S rRNA phylogeny is widely used in archaeal taxonomy and diversity surveys. However, highly conserved sequence of …
Read PDF<i>Dehalobacter</i> is a genus of organohalide-respiring bacteria that is recognized for its fastidious growth using reductive dehalogenases (RDases). In the SC05 culture, however, a <i>Dehalobacter</i> population also mineralizes dichloromethane (DCM) produced by chloroform dechlorination using …
Read PDFOrnithinibacillus liuyingii sp. nov. was proposed, with type strain 27F3T (= GDMCC 1.5626T = JCM 38003T) isolated from the lung of Apodemus chevrieri collected on the Guizhou Plateau, China. Phylogenetic distinctiveness from its closest relative, …
Read PDFAmmonia-oxidizing archaea (AOA) have repeatedly been detected with molecular methods on human skin, yet their persistence, physiological traits, and adaptations remain poorly understood. This is mostly owed to a lack of cultured representatives of AOA …
Read PDFA novel chlorophototrophic bacterium, strain BV2-C<sup>T</sup>, was isolated from a microbial mat (~40 °C) at Rupite hot springs, Bulgaria. Cells were rod-shaped, Gram-negative, with numerous fimbriae/pili, but non-motile. Optimal growth occurred under micro-oxic conditions in …
Read PDFFungal taxonomy is a fundamental discipline that aims to recognise all fungi and their kinships. Approximately 5% of a practical estimate of 2.2-3.8 million species globally are currently known, and consequently the Fungal Tree of …
Read PDFIn this perspective, we explore the transformative impact and inherent limitations of metagenomics and single-cell genomics on our understanding of microbial diversity and their integration into the Tree of Life. We delve into the key …
Read PDFThree β-lactam resistant bacterial strains isolated from gut samples of wild Atlantic mackerel (<i>Scomber scombrus</i>) collected from the northern North Sea were characterized by polyphasic analyses. The strains were determined to belong to the genus …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>In 2018, the island of Mayotte located in the western Indian ocean, has experienced a seismo-volcanic crisis linked to the birth of an impressive intraplate submarine volcano at the east of the island. This volcano, …
Read PDFA novel moderately halophilic and alkaliphilic Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, bacterial strain (N2<sup>T</sup>) was isolated from an inland saltern in central Portugal. The taxonomic position of this isolate was determined based on polyphasic taxonomic and phylogenomic …
Read PDFWe present metagenomes of 16 samples of water and sediment from two lakes, collected from eutrophic and non-eutrophic areas, including pooled samples enriched with phosphate and nitrate. Additionally, we assembled 167 bacterial metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs). …
Read PDFBlood-feeding is crucial for the reproductive cycle of the mosquito <i>Aedes aegypti</i>, as well as for the transmission of arboviruses to hosts. It is postulated that blood meals may influence the mosquito microbiome but shifts …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>The taxonomy of species within the genus <i>Haemophilus</i>, within the family <i>Pasteurellaceae</i>, shows extensive polyphyly, causing long-standing taxonomic ambiguities that complicate clinical, epidemiological and evolutionary research. Traditional classifications based on phenotypes and comparative 16S rRNA …
Read PDFGrana Padano (GP), Trentingrana (TG), and Parmigiano Reggiano (PR) are among the finest Italian Protected Designation of Origin (PDO) cheeses. GP, TG, and PR undergo extensive proteolysis during ripening, where the microbiome metabolizes amino acids, …
Read PDFThe phylum <i>Chloroflexota</i> (formerly Chloroflexi) encompasses metabolically diverse bacteria that often have high prevalence in terrestrial and aquatic habitats, some even with biotechnological application. However, there is substantial disagreement in public databases which lineage should …
