Use of Bayes factors to evaluate the effects of host genetics, litter and cage on the rabbit cecal microbiota [PDF]
Genetics Selection Evolution, 2022 The rabbit cecum hosts and interacts with a complex microbial ecosystem that contributes to the variation of traits of economic interest. Although the influence of host genetics on microbial diversity and specific microbial taxa has been studied in ...

Microbial Genetics and Evolution
Microorganisms, 2022 Although proto-evolutionary ideas date back to the time of the ancient Greeks, the idea that organisms evolve was not considered a basic element of scientific knowledge until Charles Darwin published his “On the Origin of Species” in 1859 [...]

Microbial Genetics: Stress Management [PDF]
Trends in Microbiology, 2021 Microbes constitute the very core of our existence. Long believed to be a nuisance and proponents of various disease, latest research point toward their functions in processes that can prove beneficial for human survival and afford long-term protection from disease.

Genetically Programmable Microbial Assembly
ACS Synthetic Biology, 2021 Engineered microbial communities show promise in a wide range of applications, including environmental remediation, microbiome engineering, and synthesis of fine chemicals. Here we present methods by which bacterial aggregates can be directed into several distinct architectures by inducible surface expression of heteroassociative protein domains ...

Microbial diversity and the genetic nature of microbial species [PDF]
Nature Reviews Microbiology, 2008 The earth contains a huge number of largely uncharacterized Bacteria and Archaea. Microbiologists are struggling to summarize their genetic diversity and classify them, which has resulted in heated debates on methods for defining species, mechanisms that lead to speciation and whether microbial species even exist. This Review proposes that decisions on

Microbial metal resistance and metabolism across dynamic landscapes: high-throughput environmental microbiology. [PDF]
, 2017 Multidimensional gradients of inorganic compounds influence microbial activity in diverse pristine and anthropogenically perturbed environments. Here, we suggest that high-throughput cultivation and genetics can be systematically applied to generate ...

Current concept on the pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease-crosstalk between genetic and microbial factors: Pathogenic bacteria and altered bacterial sensing or changes in mucosal integrity take "toll"? [PDF]
, 2006 The pathogenesis of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is only partially understood. Various environmental and host (e.g. genetic-, epithelial-, immune and non-immune) factors are involved.

Marine crude-oil biodegradation: a central role for interspecies interactions [PDF]
, 2012 The marine environment is highly susceptible to pollution by petroleum, and so it is important to understand how microorganisms degrade hydrocarbons, and thereby mitigate ecosystem damage. Our understanding about the ecology, physiology, biochemistry and

The Devil Is in the Microbial Genetic Details [PDF]
Molecular Cell, 2019 The work of Zeevi et al. (2019) in a recent issue of Nature shows that variations in gene content and organization between different strains of the same microbial species are widespread in the human gut microbiota and could be linked to many measures of health.
