<h4>Background</h4>Dysbiosis of gut microbiome leads to resistance to immunotherapy in various advanced solid tumors. CJRB-101 is a live biotherapeutic product consisting of a novel strain belonging to the species <i>Leuconostoc mesenteroides</i>. To modulate the tumor …
Read PDFUsing efficient rhizospheric microbes as bio-inoculants is a key factor in promoting agricultural sustainability, as these microbes have been shown to enhance plant growth promotion and crop productivity. Soil microbial communities offer numerous benefits to …
Read PDFNitrogen (N) fertilizer application can regulate the structure of soil microbial community and influence the abundance of functional genes involved in carbon (C) and N cycling, thereby affecting greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study was …
Read PDF<h4>Objectives</h4>Although taxonomic variations in chicken gut microbiota have been previously documented, their functional capacity remain poorly understood. To gain a better understanding, we incorporated whole genome shotgun metagenomics to analyse microbial communities of two different …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Forest restoration has primarily been evaluated through changes in aboveground communities, while belowground microbial communities-critical drivers of ecosystem functions-remain less understood. Moreover, studies of soil microbes have focused largely on community structure, which does not …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Seasonal behavioral divergence in zokors, driven primarily by their reproductive cycle, results in distinct ecological strategies between breeding and non-breeding periods. To elucidate how intestinal microbes adapt to these behavioral shifts, we used metagenomics to …
Read PDFDiet regulates the gut microbiota, which in turn affects animal performance, but how diet shapes the animal performance and gut microbiota remains largely unknown. To fill this gap, the author conducted a comprehensive study of …
Read PDFThe gut microbiota (GM) has become a key mediator of host health, with dietary manipulations promising ways of modulating the microbiome. This review focuses on the role of dairy bioactive (DB) compounds as precision modulators …
Read PDFThe environmental dissemination of antimicrobial resistance (AMR) through livestock waste represents a growing concern for human, environmental, and animal health. This study investigated how swine waste stabilization ponds (WSPs), and subsequent manure application to agricultural …
Read PDFConductive particles are common in coastal sediments, yet their role in shaping methane-producing communities and pathways remains unclear. We applied genome-resolved metagenomics to a sediment-derived consortium serially transferred for a decade and obligately dependent on …
Read PDFCirculating cell-free DNA (cfDNA) is valuable for molecular testing, but typically requires specialized collection tubes or immediate processing. We investigated whether residual plasma from heparin separators, routinely used in clinical chemistry, could serve as an …
Read PDFThe hospital environment plays a critical role in the transmission of infectious diseases. Surveillance methods often rely on selective enrichment or deep metagenomic sequencing, which both have significant drawbacks in terms of community resolution and …
Read PDFProliferation of <i>Vibrio</i> spp. in aquatic ecosystems is associated with climate change and, concomitantly, increased incidence of vibriosis. They are autochthonous to aquatic environments globally, but traditional metagenomic methods for detecting and typing pathogenic <i>Vibrio</i> …
Read PDFPrevious studies suggest there are distinct gut microbial and functional variations in patients with Parkinson's disease (PwPD) that may reveal potential microbiome signatures or biomarkers to aid in early detection of the disease. In this …
Read PDFOBJECTIVES: Accurate molecular identification in insect monitoring programs relies on validated genomic references, yet many pest species remain underrepresented or incorrectly annotated in public databases. This Data Note provides a curated genomic resource for 18 …
Read PDFClustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats (CRISPR) and CRISPR-associated (Cas) systems of bacteria and archaea provide immunities against mobile genetic elements, like viruses. In addition, protospacer analyses revealed a very specific acquisition of CRISPR spacers …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Coccidiosis is a parasitic infection in the gut of livestock that poses a significant health challenge in poultry farming, underscoring the important role of intervention and prevention strategies in the poultry industry. The use …
Read PDFIn endangered species conservation, fecal samples are a vital non-invasive tool for gut microbiota analysis. Yet, the influence of external exposure time on microbial composition and function remains unclear, constraining data accuracy and reliability. To …
Read PDFAntimicrobial resistance (AMR) poses an escalating global threat that demands comprehensive surveillance approaches beyond traditional clinical contexts. Although next-generation sequencing (NGS), particularly whole-genome sequencing (WGS), has revolutionized AMR surveillance, current implementation predominantly targets clinical isolates, …
Read PDFProtists are polyphyletic single-celled eukaryotes that underpin global ecosystem functioning, particularly in the oceans. Most remain uncultured, limiting the investigation of their physiology and cell biology. MArine STramenopiles (MASTs) are heterotrophic protists that, although related …
