Metabolic adaptation to a high-fat diet is associated with a change in the gut microbiota [PDF]
Objective The gut microbiota, which is considered a causal factor in metabolic diseases as shown best in animals, is under the dual influence of the host genome and nutritional environment. This study investigated whether the gut microbiota per se, aside

Fungi are more transient than bacteria in caterpillar gut microbiomes
Despite an increasing number of studies on caterpillar (Insecta: Lepidoptera) gut microbiota, bacteria have been emphasized more than fungi. Therefore, we lack data on whether fungal microbiota is resident or transient and shaped by factors similar to ...

Through ageing, and beyond: gut microbiota and inflammatory status in seniors and centenarians [PDF]
BACKGROUND: Age-related physiological changes in the gastrointestinal tract, as well as modifications in lifestyle, nutritional behaviour, and functionality of the host immune system, inevitably affect the gut microbiota, resulting in a greater ...

High-throughput diversity and functionality analysis of the gastrointestinal tract microbiota [PDF]
The human gastrointestinal (GI) tract microbiota plays a pivotal role in our health. For more than a decade a major input for describing the diversity of the GI tract microbiota has been derived from the application of small subunit ribosomal RNA (SSU ...
