Evolution of substrate specificity in a retained enzyme driven by gene loss. [PDF]

eLife, 2017
The connection between gene loss and the functional adaptation of retained proteins is still poorly understood. We apply phylogenomics and metabolic modeling to detect bacterial species that are evolving by gene loss, with the finding that ...

Indicator bacteria taxa reveal breeding site origins of Aedes aegypti mosquitoes [PDF]

BMC Research Notes
Background The microbiota of adult mosquitoes reflects both their life history and the environments they encounter. Linking specific bacterial communities in adult mosquitoes to their larval aquatic habitats would suggest that microbiota profiling can ...

Impact of gut microbiota on nonalcoholic fatty liver disease: insights from a leave-one-out cross-validation study [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2023
IntroductionEnteric dysbacteriosis is strongly associated with nonalcoholic fatty liver disease (NAFLD). However, the underlying causal relationship remains unknown. Thus, the present study aimed to investigate the relationship between gut microbiota and

Insights into Butyrate Production in a Controlled Fermentation System via Gene Predictions [PDF]

mSystems, 2017
: Butyrate is a common fatty acid produced in important fermentative systems, such as the human/animal gut and other H[subscript 2] production systems. Despite its importance, there is little information on the partnerships between butyrate producers and

A two sample mendelian randomization analysis investigates causal effects between gut microbiome and immune related Vasculitis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Observational data suggest a link between gut microbiota and immune-related vasculitis, but causality remains unclear. A bidirectional mendelian randomization study was conducted using public genome-wide data.

The causal relationships between gut microbiota and venous thromboembolism: a Mendelian randomization study [PDF]

Hereditas
Background Venous thromboembolism (VTE) is still one of the most severe health issues, increasing mortality and lengthening hospital stays. Different abundances of gut microbiota have been clinically linked to VTE and coagulopathy.

The Relationship between Uterine, Fecal, Bedding, and Airborne Dust Microbiota from Dairy Cows and Their Environment: A Pilot Study [PDF]

Animals, 2019
Simple Summary After calving, dairy cows face the risk of negative energy balance, inflammation, and immunosuppression, which may result in bacterial infection and disruption of the normal microbiota, thus encouraging the development of metritis and ...
