Genome-Based Taxonomic Classification of Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2016 The bacterial phylum Bacteroidetes, characterized by a distinct gliding motility, occurs in a broad variety of ecosystems, habitats, life styles, and physiologies. Accordingly, taxonomic classification of the phylum, based on a limited number of features,

A novel class of polymorphic toxins in Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Life Science Alliance, 2020 Bacteria often use toxins to mediate their interaction with the environment. This study reveals a new class of polymorphic toxins, which contain an N-terminal TANFOR domain, in Bacteroidetes.

Degradation of complex arabinoxylans by human colonic Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Nature Communications, 2021 Human gut bacteria can degrade arabinoxylans, polysaccharides found in dietary fiber. Here, Pereira et al. identify a bacterial gene cluster encoding esterases for degradation of complex arabinoxylans.

Polysaccharide degradation by the Bacteroidetes: mechanisms and nomenclature [PDF]
Environmental Microbiology Reports, 2021 Summary The Bacteroidetes phylum is renowned for its ability to degrade a wide range of complex carbohydrates, a trait that has enabled its dominance in many diverse environments. The best studied species inhabit the human gut microbiome and use polysaccharide utilization loci (PULs), discrete genetic structures ...

Sludge char-to-fuel approaches based on the hydrothermal fueling IV: fermentation
Water Science and Technology, 2021 Sewage sludge was subjected to hydrothermal fueling (HTF) (330 °C for 40 min), obtaining hydrochar at 13.5 MJ kg−1. The higher heating value (HHV) of the raw sludge was related to its fatty acid content.

Inhibition of Bacteroidetes and Firmicutes by select phytochemicals [PDF]
Anaerobe, 2020 Current research indicates that changes in gut microbiota can impact the host, but it is not always clear how dietary and environmental factors alter gut microbiota. One potential factor is antimicrobial activity of compounds ingested by the host. The goal of this study was to determine the antimicrobial activity of common plant secondary metabolites ...

New Iron Acquisition System in Bacteroidetes [PDF]
Infection and Immunity, 2015 ABSTRACTCapnocytophaga canimorsus, a dog mouth commensal and a member of theBacteroidetesphylum, causes rare but often fatal septicemia in humans that have been in contact with a dog. Here, we show thatC. canimorsusstrains isolated from human infections grow readily in heat-inactivated human serum and that this property depends on a typical ...

Microbial community composition of transiently wetted Antarctic Dry Valley soils [PDF]
, 2015 During the summer months, wet (hyporheic) soils associated with ephemeral streams and lake edges in the Antarctic Dry Valleys (DVs) become hotspots of biological activity and are hypothesized to be an important source of carbon and nitrogen for arid DV ...
