Phylosymbiosis and Parallel Geographical Patterns in the Gut Microbiota of Desert‐Dwelling Amphibians and Reptiles

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Host species emerge as a significant contributor to interspecies variations in the gut microbiota of desert‐dwelling amphibians and reptiles, illustrating phylosymbiosis among the studied species. Geographical factors partially account for interpopulation variations in the gut microbiota of Bufotes pewzowi and Teratoscincus przewalskii, with parallel ...

SICLE: A high-throughput tool for extracting evolutionary relationships from phylogenetic trees

, 2016
We present the phylogeny analysis software SICLE (Sister Clade Extractor), an easy-to-use, high- throughput tool to describe the nearest neighbors to a node of interest in a phylogenetic tree as well as the support value for the relationship.

The Keystone‐Pathogen Hypothesis Updated: The Role of Porphyromonas gingivalis in Periodontitis

Journal of Periodontal Research, EarlyView.
Porphyromonas gingivalis orchestrates a coordinated manipulation of immune and inflammatory responses in periodontal tissues which leads to the generation of a dysbiotic, subgingival biofilm community, and progression of periodontitis. The type 9 secretion system, lipid A modification, and the formation of outer membrane vesicles are important ...

A single chromosome assembly of Bacteroides fragilis strain BE1 from Illumina and MinION nanopore sequencing data [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: Second and third generation sequencing technologies have revolutionised bacterial genomics. Short-read Illumina reads result in cheap but fragmented assemblies, whereas longer reads are more expensive but result in more complete genomes.

Late Stage Mannan Metabolism in Cellvibrio japonicus Requires the Combined Action of a Mannosyl‐Glucose Phosphorylase and a Mannobiose Epimerase

Molecular Microbiology, EarlyView.
Model for the non‐PTS utilization of manno‐oligosaccharides by Cellvibrio japonicus. The Mgp130A and EpiA enzymes are essential for the utilization of mannose residues. ABSTRACT Manno‐oligosaccharides and their metabolism play important roles in gut health, pharmaceutical development, and renewable chemical production.

Superoxide dismutase in Bacteroides fragilis and related Bacteroides species [PDF]

Journal of Clinical Microbiology, 1977
Superoxide dismutase (SOD) activity was demonstrated in cell-free extracts of Bacteroides fragilis, Bacteroides vulgatus, Bacteroides distasonis, Bacteroides ovatus, and Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron. The strains were grown under anaerobic conditions in Trypticase soy broth, and the specific activity of SOD in the extracts was, in most strains, higher ...
