<h4>Introduction</h4>Personal care items are commonly viewed as passive vehicles for microbial transfer; however, the physicochemical stresses they impose may actively shape microbial persistence, community composition, and the distribution of resistance-associated determinants. Electric shavers may therefore …
Read PDFMethane is a potent greenhouse gas, largely produced by methanogenic archaea, contributing to Earth's dynamic climate and biogeochemical cycles. In the past decade, metagenomics revealed that lineages outside of the Euryarchaeota superphylum encode genes for …
Read PDFThe bacteria in the human intestinal tract are important for health and associate with diseases, such as inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). Although metagenomic studies can identify certain bacteria or even specific strains and associate their …
Read PDFRecently, there were several publications that attributed gut microbiota (GM) to various gastrointestinal tract functional disorders and diseases, including inflammatory bowel diseases, colon cancer, pancreatic cancer, and diverticulosis. GM is attributed to the initiation of …
Read PDFPlant diseases caused by a wide range of pathogens-including fungi, bacteria, viruses, and fungus-like organisms (oomycetes)-represent one of the most significant threats to global food security, agricultural sustainability, and ecosystem balance [...].
Read PDFEvidence suggests that socioeconomic position (SEP) may shape the gut microbiota (GM), representing a mechanism through which social and environmental factors may drive health inequalities, yet no systematic review has examined this association. In this …
Read PDFMetagenomic sequencing enables the in-depth study of microbes and their functions in humans, animals, and the environment. While sequencing data is deposited in public databases, the associated contextual data is often not complete and needs …
Read PDFThe seed microbiome supports plant health and increases resilience under adverse environmental conditions. Seeds are also an important vector for transgenerational transfer of the plant microbiota. Even though research over the last decade has provided …
Read PDFThe human virome, comprising eukaryotic viruses, bacteriophages, and viral genetic material, is a dynamic component of the microbiome with growing relevance in infectious diseases. This narrative review is structured to: (i) summarize the general composition …

Read PDF<h4>Background</h4>The transition period is vitally important to the life cycle of dairy cows. However, the function of the microbiota during both pre- and post-partum and their relationship with ruminal, plasma, and milk metabolites still require …

Read PDF<h4>Introduction</h4>Soil salinization constrains agricultural sustainability in arid and semi-arid regions. This study examined integrated soil-plant-microbe responses of alfalfa (<i>Medicago sativa</i> L.) to a salinity gradient.<h4>Methods</h4>A pot experiment was conducted with control, low-, and moderate-salinity treatments. …
Read PDFBacterial endophytes have emerged as critical components of plant microbiomes, offering multifaceted benefits ranging from growth promotion to stress resilience. This review synthesizes two decades of research, from 2004 to 2024, on bacterial endophyte identification …
Read PDFThe gut-brain axis (GBA) has emerged as a critical regulatory pathway underlying the pathogenesis of neurodegenerative diseases (NDs) such as Alzheimer's disease and Parkinson's disease. However, the high complexity and individual variability of native gut …
Read PDFThe advent of metagenomics has dramatically expanded our understanding of microbial communities, particularly through the study of wastewater, which serves as a rich source of microbial data. In Africa, wastewater metagenomics presents unparalleled opportunities for …
