Three bacterial strains isolated from Cabrales cheese (IPLA 37010, IPLA 37011 and IPLA 37012<sup>T</sup>) were initially assigned to <i>Staphylococcus equorum</i> based on partial 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Nevertheless, genome comparison with the type strains <i>S. …
Read PDFWe present a scaffold-level genome assembly from a <i>Halisarca caerulea</i> specimen (encrusting sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Chondrillida; Halisarcidae). The genome sequence is 195.70 megabases in span. The mitochondrial genome has also been assembled and is 19.15 …
Read PDF<h4>Motivation</h4>Locality-Sensitive Hashing (LSH) is a widely used algorithm for estimating similarity between large datasets in bioinformatics, with applications in genome assembly, sequence alignment, and metagenomics. However, traditional single-metric LSH approaches often lead to inefficiencies, particularly …
Read PDFWe describe a rapidly growing mycobacterial (RGM) species closely related to <i>Mycobacterium wolinskyi</i>. The bacterium was isolated from three biopsies obtained from a 78-year-old Venezuelan woman who presented with a chronic superficial erythematous plaque in …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a specimen of <i>Xestospongia muta</i> (Caribbean barrel sponge; Porifera; Demospongiae; Haplosclerida; Petrosiidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 158.52 megabases. Most of the assembly (99.56%) is scaffolded …
Read PDFWe present a genome assembly from a specimen of <i>Ctena decussata</i> (Mollusca; Bivalvia; Lucinida; Lucinidae). The genome sequence has a total length of 1,658.05 megabases. Most of the assembly (97.83%) is scaffolded into 18 chromosomal …
Read PDFComparisons of long-read and short-read (meta)genome assemblies typically show that short-read sequence assemblies are less error-prone, but struggle to assemble complicated genome regions (e.g. repeats) compared to long-read sequence assemblies. Accurate metagenome assembly is especially …
Read PDFThe integration of multi-omics technologies with non-thermal food processing represents a paradigm shift from population-based to precision nutrition interventions. This review synthesizes current advances in genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and microbiomics alongside emerging non-thermal technologies, …
Read PDFDrought stress is a major constraint on global agriculture, exacerbated by climate change and increasing water scarcity. Conventional strategies such as breeding and genetic engineering have improved drought tolerance in crops, yet their scalability and …
Read PDFThe intestinal microbiota influences host susceptibility to <i>Campylobacter jejuni</i> (<i>C. jejuni</i>) infection. However, the interaction between specific intestinal bacteria and the <i>C. jejuni-</i>mediated host response is unclear. We established a defined consortium of bacteria to …
Read PDFCancer is the leading cause of death around the world. While some types of cancer have become manageable due to advancements in medicine, most cancers still lack available cures and treatments. Recent studies have shown …
Read PDF<h4>Background/objectives</h4>Oral butyrate is unstable during upper gastrointestinal tract (GIT) transit and very little reaches the colon. Tributyrin, a butyrate precursor, resists gastric acid and is converted to butyrate by pancreatic lipases. This study aimed to …
Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>HIV-1 infection and hazardous levels of alcohol consumption have been independently linked to gut dysbiosis affecting beneficial butyrate-producing bacteria. However, sex-based differences in the composition and function of gut microbiome of People With HIV (PWH) …
Read PDFBouteloua curtipendula (sideoats grama) is a valuable prairie grass for livestock forage, supporting food webs of herbivorous insects, reducing soil erosion, and limiting weed infiltration in urban grasslands. Efficient establishment of B. curtipendula in prairie …
Read PDFAnxiety and sensory hyperresponsiveness are common in children with autism spectrum disorder (ASD), but effective treatments are lacking. Targeting the microbiota-gut-brain axis is a promising strategy. This open-label pilot study evaluated SCM06, a novel synbiotic …
Read PDFAttention-deficit hyperactivity disorder (ADHD) is one of the most common childhood neuropsychiatric conditions. Both (epi)genetic and environmental factors are suggested to contribute to the etiology of ADHD. In the last decade, nutrition has received considerable …
Read PDFAnastomotic leakage after curative colorectal cancer resection remains a frequent and severe complication that increases short-term mortality, worsens long-term oncologic outcomes, and places substantial burdens on individuals and health systems despite advances in surgical technique …
Read PDF<h4>Key points</h4>Long-read-metagenomic sequencing is the best method for analyzing the sinus microbiome. 16s-rRNA-sequencing (both long and short read) results in PCR amplification bias that significantly distorts the sinus microbiome.
Read PDFLung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) is a predominant subtype of lung cancer and is highly lethal. The lung tissue microbiota has been implicated in lung cancer biology but remains incompletely defined at early stages. We enrolled 40 …
