Bacterial and Fungal Endophytic Microbiomes ofSalicornia europaea [PDF]
Endophytes are particularly fascinating because of their multifaceted lifestyle, i.e., they may exist as either free-living soil microbes or saprobic ones or pathogens. Endophytic communities of halophytes may be different than those in other plants because salinity acts as an environmental filter.

A Fungal Foray in an NHP Gut Microbiome
The cynomolgus macaque, Macaca fascicularis, is a non-human primate (NHP) widely used in biomedical research as it shares behavioural, genetic, immunological and physiological similarities with humans. These similarities may extend to the enteric microbiome, with some microbial taxa common to both humans and NHPs.

Determinants and Interactions of Oral Bacterial and Fungal Microbiota in Healthy Chinese Adults
Numerous studies have examined the composition of and factors shaping the oral bacterial microbiota in healthy adults; however, similar studies on the less dominant yet ecologically and clinically important fungal microbiota are scarce. In this study, we

Fungal microbiome in inflammatory bowel disease: a critical assessment. [PDF]
The gut microbiome is at the center of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) pathogenesis and disease activity. While this has mainly been studied in the context of the bacterial microbiome, recent advances have provided tools for the study of host genetics and metagenomics of host-fungal interaction. Through these tools, strong evidence has emerged linking

Disease-induced changes in plant microbiome assembly and functional adaptation [PDF]
Background The plant microbiome is an integral part of the host and increasingly recognized as playing fundamental roles in plant growth and health. Increasing evidence indicates that plant rhizosphere recruits beneficial microbes to the
