In piglets, the gut microbiota matures in a segment-specific manner during the nursing period, while fecal-based studies provide limited functional resolution across intestinal sites. We profiled the ileum using 16s rRNA gene sequencing and assessed …
Read PDFThe human skin microbiota, a complex community of bacterial, fungal, and viral organisms, plays a crucial role in maintaining skin homeostasis and regulating host-pathogen interactions. Dysbiosis within this microbial ecosystem has been implicated in various …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The capacity of metagenomic sequencing-based diagnostics to fully identify infections have made them useful instruments in clinical practice. We introduce an interactive platform that runs on a local server-class hardware resource and implements a number …
Read PDFThe sustainable utilization of rice straw is challenged by its recalcitrant lignocellulosic structure, especially under low-to-moderate field temperatures. In this study, a novel microbial consortium (SXJG15) mainly containing <i>Sphingobacterium</i>, <i>Azospirillum</i>, and <i>Pseudomonas</i> was enriched from …
Read PDFBACKGROUND: Infection are the leading cause of intensive care unit (ICU) admission, yet conventional microbiological methods frequently fail to identify the causative pathogen. Metagenomic next-generation sequencing (mNGS) is an emerging, unbiased, pan-pathogen diagnostic tool. However, …

Read PDFThe immense microbial diversity on Earth represents a vast genomic resource, yet discovering novel enzymes from complex environments remains challenging. Here, we combine a microbial enrichment with metagenomics and metaproteomics to facilitate the identification of …
Read PDFIn a world with an increase in human population, food consumption, and the generation of organic waste, insects are emerging as a promising tool to convert organic waste material into human food or animal feed. …
Read PDFMicroorganisms are metabolically versatile and central to marine ecosystems, yet the potential of marine microbial communities to degrade different bioplastics and the effect of environmental factors are poorly understood. Employing multi-seasonal in situ and in …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Acute Q fever manifests sporadically in mainland China, where its clinical spectrum and optimal diagnostic strategies remain under-recognized. This study aimed to delineate the clinical phenotype and antimicrobial prescribing patterns of sporadic acute Q fever …

Read PDFRhizosphere microbiome engineering is a promising approach that can enhance crop resilience and input use efficiency by redirecting plant-microbe-soil interactions toward predictable functions. Here, we review the mechanistic bases underlying rhizosphere assembly and stability, including …
Read PDFYellow fever virus (YFV) continues to threaten human and wildlife populations in the Americas, yet its transmission at the forest-urban interface remains unclear. Here we integrate ground- and canopy-level mosquito surveillance, systematic monitoring of non-human …
Read PDFPolyethylene terephthalate (PET), an abundant synthetic polyester, is the only plastic that has been enzymatically recycled at an industrial scale. Over the last decades, research efforts have focused on screening and engineering PET-degrading hydrolases (PETases), …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Chronic heavy metal contamination can restructure soil microbiomes and may co-select for antibiotic resistance, yet genome-resolved evidence from industrial soils remains limited.<h4>Methods</h4>In this study, we applied Oxford Nanopore long-read metagenomic sequencing to soil samples collected …
Read PDFCoastal ecotones are highly dynamic environments for viral studies due to their extreme abiotic conditions, transitional nature between marine and terrestrial domains and high biodiversity. In Brazil, the Restinga is a coastal ecotone along the …
Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Slow transit constipation (STC) is a prevalent gastrointestinal disorder characterized by impaired intestinal motility, metabolic dysregulation, and gut microbial dysbiosis. <i>Zingiber mioga</i> (Thunb.) Rosc. (RH), a traditional medicinal-edible plant, is empirically used to alleviate gastrointestinal …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>Protein feed resource shortage is a major constraint to the sustainable development of the livestock industry and a bottleneck problem hindering the growth of the Tibetan pig industry in China's Qinghai-Tibet Plateau region. Walnut meal, …
