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.

Microbiota and bile acid profiles in retinoic acid-primed mice that exhibit accelerated liver regeneration. [PDF]
Background & aimsAll-trans Retinoic acid (RA) regulates hepatic lipid and bile acid homeostasis. Similar to bile acid (BA), RA accelerates partial hepatectomy (PHx)-induced liver regeneration.

Rectal Microbiome Composition Correlates with Humoral Immunity to HIV-1 in Vaccinated Rhesus Macaques. [PDF]
The microbiome is an integral and dynamic component of the host and is emerging as a critical determinant of immune responses; however, its influence on vaccine immunogenicity is largely not well understood.

Veillonella, Firmicutes: Microbes disguised as Gram negatives
The Firmicutes represent a major component of the intestinal microflora. The intestinal Firmicutes are a large, diverse group of organisms, many of which are poorly characterized due to their anaerobic growth requirements. Although most Firmicutes are Gram positive, members of the class Negativicutes, including the genus Veillonella, stain Gram ...

Structural Analysis of Polarizing Indels Argues the Root of the Tree of Life is Near the Chloroflexi [PDF]
Determining which branches of the tree of life have derived features narrows down the possible location of the root. Currently the polarization of indels done by Lake _et al_.^1-5^ and the polarizing transitions of Cavalier-Smith^6^ arrive at ...

Association of the gut microbiota with clinical variables in obese and lean Emirati subjects
BackgroundGrowing evidence supports the role of gut microbiota in obesity, yet exact associations remain largely unknown. Specifically, very little is known about this association in the Emirati population.MethodsWe explored differences in gut microbiota
