Role of gut microbiota in the aetiology of obesity: proposed mechanisms and review of the literature [PDF]
The aetiology of obesity has been attributed to several factors (environmental, dietary, lifestyle, host, and genetic factors); however none of these fully explain the increase in the prevalence of obesity worldwide.

Pharmacological potential of seaweed-associated heterotrophic Firmicutes
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 ...

The Role of Bacillithiol in Gram-Positive Firmicutes [PDF]
Since the discovery and structural characterization of bacillithiol (BSH), the biochemical functions of BSH-biosynthesis enzymes (BshA/B/C) and BSH-dependent detoxification enzymes (FosB, Bst, GlxA/B) have been explored in Bacillus and Staphylococcus species.

Recent progress in our understanding of peptidoglycan assembly in Firmicutes [PDF]
Years of intense research have shown that the assembly of peptidoglycan, the extracellular mesh-like polymer surrounding the bacterial cell, is incredibly complex. It requires a suite of reactions catalyzed by dynamic macromolecular protein complexes whose localization and activity should be finely regulated in space and time.

Levels and Characteristics of mRNAs in Spores of Firmicute Species
Only ∼6% of mRNAs in spores of six firmicute species are at ≥1 molecule/spore, many abundant spore mRNAs encode proteins similar to B. subtilis spore proteins, and some abundant B. subtilis and C. difficile spore mRNAs were fragmented.

Comparative genome-centric analysis reveals seasonal variation in the function of coral reef microbiomes [PDF]
Microbially mediated processes contribute to coral reef resilience yet, despite extensive characterisation of microbial community variation following environmental perturbation, the effect on microbiome function is poorly understood.
