Scale‐dependent assembly shapes taxon‐dependent responses of soil microbes to island isolation and area

Ecography, EarlyView.
The theory of island biogeography (TIB) remains contentious for microbes, as their immense dispersal potential and microscopic size may decouple diversity from classic isolation/area effects. We explicitly tested TIB scaling rules for soil bacteria and fungi across 20 oceanic islands using a rigorous multi‐scale framework that integrated high ...

Vaginal host–microbe signatures linked to placental outcomes in mares

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Ascending placentitis is a leading cause of late‐term pregnancy loss in mares. Although pathogens are presumed to ascend from the caudal reproductive tract, the association between the vaginal microbiome and placentitis has not been systematically examined.

If ATP and macromolecular synthesis are needed for dormant spores of Bacillota species to trigger spore germination, where do the energy and precursors come from? [PDF]

ATP is one of the signature molecules of life. As the primary energy currency of cells, the debate concerning its involvement, if any, in driving the earliest biophysical events associated with germination of dormant Bacillota spores has continued ...

The alteration of intrauterine microbiota in chronic endometritis patients based on 16S rRNA sequencing analysis

Annals of Clinical Microbiology and Antimicrobials, 2023
Background Chronic endometritis (CE) is a disease of continuous and subtle inflammation occurring in the endometrial stromal area, which is often asymptomatic or present with non-specific clinical symptoms. Methods This study investigated the composition

Bacteremia in horses undergoing routine dental prophylaxis: Before, during, and after the procedure

Equine Veterinary Journal, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Transient bacteremia after dental procedures is well‐documented in the literature, but the prevalence and clinical significance in horses remains largely unexplored. Objectives To assess whether routine dental prophylaxis in clinically healthy horses is associated with detection of bacteria in blood, using culture and 16S rDNA ...

myo‐Inositol's role in laying hens’ active gastrointestinal microbiota: a strain comparison

Journal of the Science of Food and Agriculture, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND myo‐Inositol (MI) is a cyclitol involved in cellular metabolism and phytate degradation, yet its influence on the gastrointestinal tract (GIT) microbiota of laying hens remains poorly understood. This study investigated the effects of graded dietary MI supplementation on the active GIT microbial communities of two commercial laying ...

The impact of microplastics on the mice gut microbiome: a meta-analysis

Scientific Reports
Microplastics are nearly ubiquitous in the natural environment. There is increasing awareness of the ingestion of microplastics in a wide range of wild animals and humans, but their health and fitness impacts remain poorly understood.

Carbon–Phosphorus Limitation Is Associated With Shifts in Microbial Life‐History Strategies Across Vegetation Restoration Modes in Alpine Sandy Land on the Tibetan Plateau

Land Degradation &Development, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Alpine sandy land on the Tibetan Plateau is fragile, with poorly developed soils, low nutrient availability, and weak biological resilience. Vegetation restoration is widely used to improve soil functioning, yet how microbial nutrient limitation and life‐history strategies vary among restoration modes remains unclear.

Dietary energy levels modulate rumen metabolites and function in sheep by regulating the rumen microbiome

BMC Microbiology
In intensive ruminant production, high-energy diets are commonly used to enhance animal productivity, as dietary formulation significantly influences rumen fermentation and microbial communities.

Combined application of Bacillus velezensis JDB15 and Trichoderma harzianum JDL4 suppresses banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions

Pest Management Science, EarlyView.
The surfactin C secreted by JDB15 and the probable parasitism of JDL4 lead to the leakage of intracellular macromolecules and the degradation of hyphae, respectively. Combined application of the two strains effectively controls banana Fusarium wilt under controlled conditions.
