Deltaproteobacteria and Spirochaetes-Like Bacteria Are Abundant Putative Mercury Methylators in Oxygen-Deficient Water and Marine Particles in the Baltic Sea [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Methylmercury (MeHg), a neurotoxic compound biomagnifying in aquatic food webs, can be a threat to human health via fish consumption. However, the composition and distribution of the microbial communities mediating the methylation of mercury (Hg) to MeHg

Multiple Single-Cell Genomes Provide Insight into Functions of Uncultured Deltaproteobacteria in the Human Oral Cavity

PLoS ONE, 2013
Despite a long history of investigation, many bacteria associated with the human oral cavity have yet to be cultured. Studies that correlate the presence or abundance of uncultured species with oral health or disease highlight the importance of these ...

Global soil metagenomics reveals distribution and predominance of Deltaproteobacteria in nitrogen-fixing microbiome

Microbiome
Background Biological nitrogen fixation is a fundamental process sustaining all life on earth. While distribution and diversity of N2-fixing soil microbes have been investigated by numerous PCR amplicon sequencing of nitrogenase genes, their ...

A Flippase-Like Domain-Containing Protein From Deltaproteobacteria Bacterium (Marine Sediment Metagenome) Has Anti-prostate Cancer Effects [PDF]

Avicenna Journal of Medical Biochemistry, 2022
Background: Prostate cancer is the second prevalent cancer and the fifth cause of deaths related to the men malignancies. The cancerous cell can travel from prostate to other parts of the body and cause metastasis in other organs such as bones and lymph ...

Elucidating the Functional and Taxonomic Diversity of Soil Microbial Communities From Three Commercial Soybean Farms in South Africa. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Prior to inoculation of soybeans, South African soils contain no Bradyhizobia that nodulate and fix nitrogen in soybeans. Soybean cultivation with prolonged inoculation resulted in the establishment and dominance of Bradyrhizobia in three soybean farms in South Africa as revealed by a microbial community study using shotgun metagenomics. ABSTRACT Prior

Sediments as Potential Sources of Non-Cyanobacterial Diazotrophs in Arctic Sea Ice and Seawater. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Diazotrophic communities across Arctic environments: Integrated analyses of diazotrophs in sea ice, seawater, and sediments show that Arctic continental shelf sediments function as a central reservoir, supplying diazotrophs to both sea ice and seawater through resuspension processes.

High phylogenetic turnover magnifies evolutionary relatedness along bacterial primary succession. [PDF]

Ecology
Abstract Current models of microbial primary succession postulate that stochasticity dominates the early stages of soil community assembly, generating phylogenetically random patterns that are lost as abiotic and biotic filters gain relevance. We hypothesized that, under severe environmental stress, abiotic filters may override stochasticity from early

Bidirectional Mendelian randomization links gut microbiota to primary biliary cholangitis [PDF]

Scientific Reports
Primary biliary cholangitis (PBC) and gut microbiota (GM) are epidemiologically correlated but the causal inter-relationships remain poorly understood. We aim to explore the causal relationships between GM and PBC.

Causal relationship between gut microbiota and thyroid nodules: a bidirectional two-sample Mendelian randomization study [PDF]

Frontiers in Endocrinology
ObjectiveEmerging evidence suggests alterations in gut microbiota (GM) composition following thyroid nodules (TNs) development, yet the causal relationship remains unclear.
