Diversity and distribution of bacterial phytases

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Phytases: The stepwise dephosphorylation of phytate is catalyzed by phytases, a group of enzymes found mainly among bacteria and plants. Bacterial potential: We identified an unexpectedly widespread and previously underappreciated bacterial potential for phytate dephosphorylation, suggesting that microbial phytases play crucial roles in the ...

Universal and Lineage‐Specific Patterns in the Distribution of ECOD Domain Homology Groups Across Superkingdoms

Proteins: Structure, Function, and Bioinformatics, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Proteins are built from modular domains that serve as fundamental units of structure and evolution. While individual domains have been extensively cataloged, their collective distribution across the lineages of life has remained poorly resolved.

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

Microbial Community Dynamics in Marine Water: Influence of Hydrocarbon Type and Exposure Time

Environmental Toxicology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Marine environments are frequently impacted by petroleum‐derived hydrocarbons, which pose ecological risks because of their toxic, mutagenic, and carcinogenic potential. Microorganisms play a crucial role in hydrocarbon degradation, and understanding the influence of time and hydrocarbon type on microbial dynamics helps improve bioremediation ...

Effect of Social Rank on Gut Microbes and Their Metabolites of Greater Long‐Tailed Hamsters (Tscherskia triton)

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Social rank in greater long‐tailed hamsters (Tscherskia triton) shapes gut microbiota composition and metabolite profiles. Dominant males exhibit a “high‐vigilance, metabolically activated” phenotype, with elevated aggression and specific gut microbiota enriched in energy‐harvesting taxa and fecal queuine.

Comparative Genomics Reveals Evidence of the Genome Reduction and Metabolic Potentials of Aliineobacillus hadale Isolated from Challenger Deep Sediment of the Mariana Trench

Microorganisms
Hadal zones account for the deepest 45% of oceanic depth range and play an important role in ocean biogeochemical cycles. As the least-explored aquatic habitat on earth, further investigation is still required to fully elucidate the microbial taxonomy ...

Gut Microbiota of Gray Snub‐Nosed Monkeys: Adaptation to Seasonal Variations Through Energy Compensation and Thermogenesis

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Based on metagenome‐assembled genomes (MAGs), the gut microbiota of the gray snub‐nosed monkeys recovered 1229 non‐redundant MAGs. The gut microbiota showed an enhanced capacity to produce energy substrates with increased conversion activity of these substrates during winter.

Dietary fiber may benefit chondrocyte activity maintenance

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology
The understanding of the link between the gut-bone axis is growing yearly, but the mechanisms involved are not yet clear. Our study analyzed the role of Sestrin2 (SESN2)pathway in the gut-bone axis.
