Under-detection of endospore-forming Firmicutes in metagenomic data [PDF]
Computational and Structural Biotechnology Journal, 2015 Microbial diversity studies based on metagenomic sequencing have greatly enhanced our knowledge of the microbial world. However, one caveat is the fact that not all microorganisms are equally well detected, questioning the universality of this approach ...

Pharmacological potential of seaweed-associated heterotrophic Firmicutes
Letters in Applied Microbiology, 2022 Abstract Seaweed-associated bacterial symbionts are sources of potential pharmacological properties. The present study resulted in the culture-dependent isolation of bioactive heterotrophs belonging to the bacterial phylum Firmicutes, which were dominated more than 30% of the 127 cultivable isolates, amongst which 23 of them showed ...

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 ...
