Maternal and infant gut microbiome

iMeta, EarlyView.
The maternal–infant continuum involves critical windows of host–microbiota co‐adaptation. Preconception, maternal and paternal microbiomes modulate immunity and reproduction. During pregnancy, a gut–placenta axis emerges, where microbial metabolites influence fetal growth or contribute to complications like gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM ...

Characterization of Flagella Produced by Clinical Strains of Stenotrophomonas maltophilia

Emerging Infectious Diseases, 2002
Stenotrophomonas maltophilia is an emerging nosocomial pathogen associated with opportunistic infections in patients with cystic fibrosis, cancer, and HIV. Adherence of this organism to abiotic surfaces such as medical implants and catheters represents a

The plant microbiome: From ecological foundations to precision microbial engineering for sustainable agriculture

iMeta, EarlyView.
From ecological principles to precision engineering of plant microbiomes for sustainable agriculture. The plant holobiont integrates diverse microbial niches (including rhizosphere, endosphere, phyllosphere, seed, and aerial‐root mucilagesphere), host genetics (namely M genes), and host metabolites. Furthermore, molecular dialogues, including rhizobial

Organ‐Specific Human Microbiomes and Dysbiosis: Mechanistic Links to Disease and Emerging Therapeutic Strategies

Journal of Clinical Laboratory Analysis, EarlyView.
Schematic overview of the human microbiome and major microbiota‐derived metabolites across body sites, highlighting the gut–brain, gut–heart, and gut–kidney axes in host physiology and disease. ABSTRACT Background The human microbiome is a dynamic and diverse community of microorganisms that affects susceptibility to illness and promotes wellness ...

Cj0440c Affects Flagella Formation and In Vivo Colonization of Erythromycin-Susceptible and -Resistant Campylobacter jejuni

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2017
Campylobacter jejuni is one of the most common foodborne pathogen worldwide. A putative transcriptional regulator, Cj0440c, was up-regulated in the erythromycin-resistant C. jejuni, however, the precise role of Cj0440c is yet to be determined. The aim of

Dynamics of Cilia and flagella

, 2006
Cilia and flagella are hair-like appendages of eukaryotic cells. They are actively bending structures that exhibit regular beat patterns and thereby play an important role in many different circumstances where motion on a cellular level is required. Most dramatic is the effect of nodal cilia whose vortical motion leads to a fluid flow that is directly ...

Viscotaxis of beating flagella

Soft Matter
Many biological microorganisms and artificial microswimmers react to external environmental gradients, like viscosity. Symmetric eukaryotic flagella swim up-gradient, while chirality implies drifting circles perpendicular to the gradient (picture).

Rethinking Plasticity in Sponges

Journal of Experimental Zoology Part B: Molecular and Developmental Evolution, EarlyView.
This systematic review critiques the conceptual confusion caused by the indiscriminate use of “plasticity” in Porifera literature, revealing that researchers often overlook genetic variability and fail to distinguish between real‐time environmental responses and natural selection.

Differential View on the Bile Acid Stress Response of Clostridioides difficile

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Clostridioides difficile is an intestinal human pathogen that uses the opportunity of a depleted microbiota to cause an infection. It is known, that the composition of the intestinal bile acid cocktail has a great impact on the susceptibility toward a C.

Contractile Mechanisms in Flagella

Biophysical Journal, 1971
The elastic theory of flexural waves in thin rods accurately predicts the velocity of flagellar bending waves over a wide range of viscosities. This shows that flagella behave as a purely mechanical system for the transmission of these waves. An evaluation of the total bending moment reveals that this moment occurs in phase over the entire length of a ...
