Optimization of DNA extraction from human urinary samples for mycobiome community profiling. [PDF]
IntroductionRecent data suggest the urinary tract hosts a microbial community of varying composition, even in the absence of infection. Culture-independent methodologies, such as next-generation sequencing of conserved ribosomal DNA sequences, provide an

Amniotic fluid from healthy term pregnancies does not harbor a detectable microbial community [PDF]
Recent studies have conflicting data regarding the presence of intra-amniotic microbiota. Viral communities are increasingly recognized as important although overlooked components of the human microbiota.

From Insect Communication to Bacterial Communication [PDF]
One of the driving forces in the early stages of the ISCE and the Journal of Chemical Ecologywas the aim to unravel the chemistry and biology of insect communication. Since then, a remarkable number of insect pheromones have been identified, probably for about 1,000 species, and the mysteries of their formation and perception elucidated, in some cases ...

Bacterial Communities: Interactions to Scale [PDF]
In the environment, bacteria live in complex multispecies communities. These communities span in scale from small, multicellular aggregates to billions or trillions of cells within the gastrointestinal tract of animals. The dynamics of bacterial communities are determined by pairwise interactions that occur between different species in the community ...

New Vocabulary for Bacterial Communication
AbstractQuorum sensing (QS) is widely accepted as a procedure that bacteria use to converse. However, prevailing thinking places acyl homoserine lactones (AHLs) at the forefront of this communication pathway in Gram‐negative bacteria. With the advent of high‐throughput genomics and the subsequent influx of bacterial genomes, bioinformatics analysis has
