Gut microbiota composition is associated with environmental landscape in honey bees

Ecology and Evolution, 2018
There is growing recognition that the gut microbial community regulates a wide variety of important functions in its animal hosts, including host health. However, the complex interactions between gut microbes and environment are still unclear. Honey bees

Gut Microbiota Promote Hematopoiesis to Control Bacterial Infection [PDF]

Cell Host & Microbe, 2014
The commensal microbiota impacts specific immune cell populations and their functions at peripheral sites, such as gut mucosal tissues. However, it remains unknown whether gut microbiota control immunity through regulation of hematopoiesis at primary immune sites.

Preterm gut microbiota and metabolome following discharge from intensive care

, 2015
The development of the preterm gut microbiome is important for immediate and longer-term health following birth. We aimed to determine if modifications to the preterm gut on the neonatal intensive care unit (NICU) impacted the gut microbiota and ...

The gut microbiota-immune-brain axis in a wild vertebrate: dynamic interactions and health impacts

Frontiers in Microbiology
The gut microbiota-immune-brain axis is a feedback network which influences diverse physiological processes and plays a pivotal role in overall health and wellbeing. Although research in humans and laboratory mice has shed light into the associations and

The effect of a multispecies probiotic on the composition of the faecal microbiota and bowel habits in chronic obstructive pulmonary disease patients treated with antibiotics

, 2009
Short-term antibiotic treatment profoundly affects the intestinal microbiota, which may lead to sustained changes in microbiota composition. Probiotics may restore such a disturbance.

Wildfire Effects on the Soil Respiration and Bacterial Microbiota Composition in Mediterranean-Type Ecosystems

Fire
This work provides insights into the effect of fire on soil processes in Mediterranean-type ecosystems in Cyprus. Soil samples from mountainous sites that were subjected to a summer wildfire and adjacent control samples were collected.

Convergent Bacterial Microbiotas in the Fungal Agricultural Systems of Insects [PDF]

mBio, 2014
ABSTRACT The ability to cultivate food is an innovation that has produced some of the most successful ecological strategies on the planet. Although most well recognized in humans, where agriculture represents a defining feature of civilization, species of ants, beetles, and termites have also independently evolved symbioses with ...

Bacterial Peptidoglycans from Microbiota in Neurodevelopment and Behavior

Trends in Molecular Medicine, 2020
It is increasingly recognized that the gut microbiota profoundly influences many aspects of host development and physiology, including the modulation of brain development and behavior. However, the precise molecular mechanisms and signaling pathways involved in communication between the microbiota and the developing brain remain to be fully elucidated.
