Bovine mastitis remains a major disease affecting dairy herds globally due to its complex and multi-etiological nature. To address gaps in microbial and immunological understanding, this longitudinal study examined the udder microbiome across lactation in …
Read PDFAs viromics advances, the diversity and ecological significance of RNA viruses in global ecosystems are gaining growing recognition. Nevertheless, studies on RNA viruses in wildlife, especially non-model avian species, are still relatively scarce. This study …
Read PDFRhizosphere microbiome is critical for nutrient turnover, pathogen suppression, and stress modulation, forming the basis of microbial products relevant to agriculture. However, microbial communities associated with carrot root zone remain relatively underexplored, with limited studies …
Read PDFThe discovery of new microbial metabolites is essential to combat the alarming rise in antimicrobial resistance and to meet emerging medical needs. This work critically reviews current strategies for identifying antimicrobial compounds, emphasizing the potential …
Read PDFNontuberculous mycobacteria (NTM) are an ecologically diverse group of environmental mycobacteria that are increasingly recognized as an important cause of human and animal disease. While most infections arise from environmental exposure, evidence from outbreak reports …
Read PDF<h4>Background and aims</h4>Parenteral nutrition (PN)-associated cholestasis (PNAC) is frequently diagnosed in premature infants; however, not all PN-exposed infants develop PNAC. We propose that, in premature infants receiving PN and varying amounts of enteral feeds, differences …
Read PDFAntibiotic-associated diarrhea (AAD) is primarily driven by disruption of the gut microbiota accompanied by intestinal mucosal injury. Although multiherb formulations are widely used in East Asian medicine, their collective ecological effects and integrated microbiome-host mechanisms …
Read PDFA significant challenge in the field of microbiology is the functional annotation of novel genes from microbiomes. The increasing pace of sequencing technology development has made solving this challenge in a high-throughput manner even more …
Read PDFSyntrophic microbial interactions are fundamental to the degradation of organic matter (e.g. fatty acids), playing a central role in natural anoxic ecosystems and engineered systems such as anaerobic digestion (AD). Despite their ecological and biotechnological …
Read PDFPhotosynthetic organelles in eukaryotes originated through primary endosymbiosis with a cyanobacterium, an event that profoundly shaped the evolutionary landscape of the eukaryotic tree of life. Primary plastids in Archaeplastida, especially in cultivable plants and algae, …
Read PDF<b>Background/Objectives:</b> The gut microbiome is a critical regulator of host metabolism, immunity, and the gut-brain axis. Exercise is a promising non-pharmacological modulator of microbial ecology, yet human evidence remains heterogeneous and the translational gap persists. …
Read PDFThis study investigates the gut microbiome and metabolome of asthma patients treated with inhaled corticosteroids (ICS), some of whom experience adverse side effects. We analyzed stool samples from 24 participants, divided into three cohorts: asthma …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Effective infectious disease diagnostics (IDD) are vital for informing clinical decision-making regarding the treatment and patient management of disease and infections. In England, conventional clinical methods rely upon culture-dependent techniques, and there has been little …
Read PDFBats are widely recognized as reservoirs of diverse bacterial pathogens with important implications for human health. Recent zoonotic disease outbreaks have intensified interest in bat microbiomes, with high-throughput sequencing increasingly used to assess microbial diversity. …
Read PDFThe gut microbiota changes throughout life, potentially influencing health and triggering physiological disorders. Frailty syndrome (FS) is an age-related condition that reduces quality of life and increases hospitalization and mortality risks, making early detection and …
Read PDFCarnivorous plants survive in harsh habitats with limited nutrients and a low pH. Much focus has been placed on carnivorous trap evolution as the primary mechanism to increase nutrient acquisition through insect digestion. Soil microbiome, …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Lignin is difficult to degrade, which makes its high-value utilization a challenge. So finding an efficient method to degrade lignin is very important. At present, microbial degradation is considered to be one of the most …
Read PDFThe pelagic environment represents a mosaic of biogeographical domains shaped by regional oceanographic processes. Here, a coastal-to-open ocean microbiome investigation was conducted from 64 water samples of the Santos Basin (SB), located in the subtropical …
Read PDFStudies of complex natural environments often focus on either biodiversity or on isolating organisms with specific properties. In this study, we sought to widen this perspective and achieve both. In particular, hypersaline ecosystems, such as …
