Lytic Spectra of Tailed Bacteriophages: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis

Viruses
As natural predators of bacteria, tailed bacteriophages can be used in biocontrol applications, including antimicrobial therapy. Also, phage lysis is a detrimental factor in technological processes based on bacterial growth and metabolism.

Effect of Cyclic Heat Exposure on the Growth Performance and Metabolism of Broilers Fed Palm Kernel Meal

Animal Research and One Health, EarlyView.
The aim of our study is to evaluate the interaction between HS and the incorporation of PKM in broiler chicken diets, as well as its effect on growth performance and metabolism. Based on the results obtained, PKM supplementation failed to mitigate the adverse effects of heat stress in broiler chickens. ABSTRACT The aim of this study was to evaluate the

A shared mucosal gut microbiota signature in primary sclerosing cholangitis before and after liver transplantation

Hepatology, EarlyView., 2022
In this study of the gut mucosal microbiota in primary sclerosing cholangitis (PSC), we found consistent microbiota features associated with PSC and recurrent PSC, PSC with inflammatory bowel disease and a persistent gut dysbiosis after liver transplantation Abstract Background and Aims Several characteristic features of the fecal microbiota have been ...

Deciphering the catalytic and pharmacological mechanisms of Coptis chinensis herbzymes to renovate intestinal microenvironment for colitis alleviation

BMEMat, EarlyView.
The synthesized CCzymes possess both antioxidant enzyme activity and pharmacological properties inherent to Coptis chinensis. By their antioxidant enzyme activity, CCzymes can attenuate oxidative stress within the inflammatory region of ulcerative colitis (UC), while their pharmacological activity acts on macrophage polarization and the intestinal ...

Host, vector, and parasite dynamics: exploring intrinsic and extrinsic factors shaping tick‐borne filarial nematode transmission

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Tick‐borne filarial nematodes are a complex and understudied group of parasites that rely on ticks for transmission in vertebrates. This review examines how intrinsic and extrinsic factors may influence the successful transmission of filarial nematodes in tick vectors, drawing insights from extensively studied haematophagous dipteran vector ...

A roadmap to key traits of invasive Drosophilidae

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Biological invasions have intensified in recent decades, mostly driven by international trade and travel, raising significant concerns, particularly regarding insect pests. Once non‐native species establish, they can disrupt natural ecosystem stability, undermine agroecosystem sustainability and cause substantial economic losses.

Ecology and evolution of pyrazines in insects

Biological Reviews, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Chemical communication is the oldest and most widespread form of signalling among and within organisms. Among the many compounds involved in such communication, pyrazines – nitrogen‐containing heterocyclic molecules – are especially intriguing due to their widespread occurrence across the tree of life, from bacteria and fungi to insects and ...
