Diving Into Reef Ecosystems for Land-Agriculture Solutions: Coral Microbiota Can Alleviate Salt Stress During Germination and Photosynthesis in Terrestrial Plants

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2020
From their chemical nature to their ecological interactions, coral reef ecosystems have a lot in common with highly productive terrestrial ecosystems.

Gut microbiota shifts and short‐chain fatty acids alterations in pediatric epilepsy patients on a Mediterranean ketogenic diet

Epileptic Disorders, EarlyView.
Abstract Objective The olive oil–based Mediterranean ketogenic diet (MedKD) may support patients with drug‐resistant epilepsy (DRE) or neurometabolic disorders by integrating ketogenic therapy with the cardiometabolic and neuroprotective advantages of the Mediterranean diet.

Intestinal microbiome alterations in pediatric epilepsy: Implications for seizures and therapeutic approaches

Epilepsia Open, EarlyView.
Abstract The intestinal microbiome plays a pivotal role in maintaining host health through its involvement in gastrointestinal, immune, and central nervous system (CNS) functions. Recent evidence underscores the bidirectional communication between the microbiota, the gut, and the brain and the impact of this axis on neurological diseases, including ...

Unusual production of glutathione in Actinobacteria [PDF]

Archives of Microbiology, 2008
Most Actinobacteria produce mycothiol as the major thiol. In addition to mycothiol Rhodococcus AD45 generates a substantial level of glutathione possibly using genes acquired in a lateral transfer. Instead of mycothiol, Rubrobacter radiotolerans and Rubrobacter xylanophilus produce glutathione, whose synthesis appears to involve enzymes substantially ...

Stage‐Dependent Metabolic Reprogramming Drives a Self‐Organizing Microbial Network During Shanxi Aged Vinegar

Food Bioengineering, EarlyView.
Metabolic shifts from growth to stress adaptation in Shanxi aged vinegar fermentation link flavor maturation and microbial cooperation, and Lactobacillus and Acetobacter form a self‐organizing metabolic network through division of labor. ABSTRACT Acetic acid fermentation (AAF) is a vital stage in the production of Shanxi aged vinegar (SAV), during ...

Molecular Characterization of Plasmids Harbored by Actinomycetes Isolated From the Great Salt Plains of Oklahoma Using PFGE and Next Generation Whole Genome Sequencing

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
One of the unique features of actinomycetes, especially the genus Streptomyces, is the presence of linear plasmids. These range in size from 12 to 600 kb, and are often termed mega-plasmids.

Surfactants tailored by the class Actinobacteria [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2015
Globally the change towards the establishment of a bio-based economy has resulted in an increased need for bio-based applications. This, in turn, has served as a driving force for the discovery and application of novel biosurfactants. The class Actinobacteria represents a vast group of microorganisms with the ability to produce a diverse range of ...

Beyond Gut Modulation: A Critical Review of the Therapeutic Potential, Safety, and Clinical Prospects of Natural Polysaccharides for IBD

Food Safety and Health, EarlyView.
In this review, we critically summarized the application of natural polysaccharides (NPs) for the treatment of IBD. This approach combines, in a unique way (right), the basic structure–activity relationships of NPs from different origins (left) with their multipronged mode of action, which involves modulation of the gut microbiota and other ...

Host‐specific and deterministic microbiome assembly in major coleopteran stored‐grain pests

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Dual DNA‐ and RNA‐based sequencing profiled the microbiomes of five major coleopteran stored‐grain pests and their wheat flour substrate. The microbiomes differed significantly among hosts and from flour, yet 11 core bacterial and 9 core fungal taxa were shared across hosts. RNA data revealed host‐specific active microbiota.

Microbiome‐mediated plant‐soil feedbacks as a tool for resilient agriculture

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Translating plant‐soil feedbacks (PSFs) into reliable agricultural management requires shifting from input‐dependent practices toward endogenous, process‐driven crop resilience. To bridge this gap, we propose a predictive framework centered on three strategic interventions: engineering the crop holobiont, diversifying the soil habitat, and deploying ...
