A Snapshot Picture of the Fungal Composition of Bee Bread in Four Locations in Bulgaria, Differing in Anthropogenic Influence

Journal of Fungi, 2021
Information about the fungal composition of bee bread, and the fermentation processes to which the fungi contribute significantly, is rather scarce or fragmentary. In this study, we performed an NGS-based metagenomics snapshot picture study of the fungal

Fecal Fungal Dysbiosis in Chinese Patients With Alzheimer’s Disease

Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021
Gut bacterial dysbiosis plays a vital role in the development of Alzheimer’s disease (AD). However, our understanding of alterations to the gut fungal microbiota and their correlations with host immunity in AD is still limited. Samples were obtained from

Abundant and Diverse Fungal Microbiota in the Murine Intestine [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2006
ABSTRACTEnteric microbiota play a variety of roles in intestinal health and disease. While bacteria in the intestine have been broadly characterized, little is known about the abundance or diversity of enteric fungi. This study utilized a culture-independent method termed oligonucleotide fingerprinting of rRNA genes (OFRG) to describe the compositions ...

Dysbiosis of Gastric Mucosal Fungal Microbiota in the Gastric Cancer Microenvironment. [PDF]

J Immunol Res, 2022
Background. Microbes have been shown to contribute to gastric cancer (GC), gastric bacteria and viruses are associated with gastric carcinogenesis. However, the relationship between gastric fungi and GC is still unclear. Our aim was to evaluate the gastric fungal microbiota in the GC microenvironment. Methods.

Convergent Bacterial Microbiotas in the Fungal Agricultural Systems of Insects [PDF]

mBio, 2014
ABSTRACT The ability to cultivate food is an innovation that has produced some of the most successful ecological strategies on the planet. Although most well recognized in humans, where agriculture represents a defining feature of civilization, species of ants, beetles, and termites have also independently evolved symbioses with ...

Characterization of the oral fungal microbiota in smokers and non‐smokers [PDF]

European Journal of Oral Sciences, 2013
This study aimed to assess the effect of smoking on the biodiversity of the oral fungal microbiota of healthy young subjects, using an improved culture method that assesses both total and pathogenic viable fungi. Forty individuals (20 smokers and 20 non‐smokers) were selected. All individuals presented fungal growth (100% for molds and 92.5% for yeasts)
