Functional Signatures of the Epiphytic Prokaryotic Microbiome of Agaves and Cacti. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2019
Microbial symbionts account for survival, development, fitness and evolution of eukaryotic hosts. These microorganisms together with their host form a biological unit known as holobiont. Recent studies have revealed that the holobiont of agaves and cacti

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Apple-marigold intercropping improves soil properties by changing soil metabolomics and bacterial community structures

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2023
Marigold can protect crops against soil-borne diseases. However, the effects of intercropping with marigold on apple rhizosphere soils are not known. In this study, we investigated the metabolite profiles and bacterial community structures in rhizosphere

Molekularbiologische Untersuchung der Diversität von Mikroorganismen in gefluteten und ungefluteten Pappelmikrokosmen [PDF]

open access: yes, 2005
Auenböden unterliegen aufgrund temporärer Flutungen einem starken Wechsel im Wassergehalt. Als Folge adaptieren sich Pflanzen, wie beispielsweise Pappeln, und Mikroorganismen an diese anoxischen Bedingungen. Ziel dieser Arbeit war es die Auswirkungen von

Efficacy of Cordyceps militaris Polysaccharides in Ameliorating Alcoholic Liver Injury and Modulating Gut Microbiota

open access: yesFood Frontiers, Volume 7, Issue 1, January 2026.
Our results suggest that Cordyceps militaris polysaccharide (CMP) can prevent alcohol‐induced oxidative stress and intestinal microbiota disorder, which may be related to the intestinal microbiota‐oxidative stress‐liver axis. ABSTRACT Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is an inflammatory liver disorder caused by factors such as chronic excessive alcohol ...

Identification of acetylated diether lipids in halophilic Archaea

open access: yesMicrobiologyOpen, 2022
As a hallmark of Archaea, their cell membranes are comprised of ether lipids. However, Archaea‐type ether lipids have recently been identified in Bacteria as well, with a somewhat different composition: In Bacillales, sn‐glycerol 1‐phosphate is ...

The Microbiota of the Extremely Preterm Infant. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2017
Colonization of the extremely preterm infant's gastrointestinal tract and skin begins in utero and is influenced by a variety of factors, the most important including gestational age and environmental exposures. The composition of the intestinal and skin

Synergistic Effects of a Microbial Amendment and Crushed Basalt: Soil Geochemical and Microbial Responses

open access: yesGlobal Change Biology, Volume 32, Issue 1, January 2026.
Enhancing Alkalinity and Mitigating Soil Organic Carbon Losses via the Co‐Application of Bacillus subtilis MP1 and Basalt. We discovered that adding the bacterium B. subtilis MP1 to basalt rock treatments amplifies the chemical processes needed to lock away carbon in soil.

Insights into the evolution of sialic acid catabolism among bacteria [PDF]

open access: yes, 2009
Background Sialic acids comprise a family of nine-carbon amino sugars that are prevalent in mucus rich environments. Sialic acids from the human host are used by a number of pathogens as an energy source.
