Joint contributions of the gut microbiota and host genetics to feed efficiency in chickens

Microbiome, 2021
Background Feed contributes most to livestock production costs. Improving feed efficiency is crucial to increase profitability and sustainability for animal production. Host genetics and the gut microbiota can both influence the host phenotype.

Host and gut microbial tryptophan metabolism and type 2 diabetes: an integrative analysis of host genetics, diet, gut microbiome and circulating metabolites in cohort studies

Gut, 2021
Objective Tryptophan can be catabolised to various metabolites through host kynurenine and microbial indole pathways. We aimed to examine relationships of host and microbial tryptophan metabolites with incident type 2 diabetes (T2D), host genetics, diet ...

Does Non-Genetic Heterogeneity Facilitate the Development of Genetic Drug Resistance? [PDF]

BioEssays, 43: e2100043 (2021), 2021
Non-genetic forms of antimicrobial drug resistance can result from cell-to-cell variability that is not encoded in the genetic material. Data from recent studies also suggest that non-genetic mechanisms can facilitate the development of genetic drug resistance.

Genetic improvement of some microorganisms to increase the effect of bio-control on the potato tuber moth, Phthorimaea operculella (Zeller) (Lepidoptera: Gelechiidae)

Egyptian Journal of Biological Pest Control, 2023
Background During the last five decades, chemical synthetic pesticides have been used extensively to control pests and protect crops. Use of synthetic pesticide has caused some unfortunate consequences like environmental pollution, pest resistance and ...

Spatial population genetics with fluid flow [PDF]

Rep. Prog. Phys. 85 096601, 2022, 2021
The growth and evolution of microbial populations is often subjected to advection by fluid flows in spatially extended environments, with immediate consequences for questions of spatial population genetics in marine ecology, planktonic diversity and origin of life scenarios. Here, we review recent progress made in understanding this rich problem in the

The MpsAB Bicarbonate Transporter Is Superior to Carbonic Anhydrase in Biofilm-Forming Bacteria with Limited CO2 Diffusion

Microbiology Spectrum, 2021
CO2 and bicarbonate are required for carboxylation reactions, which are essential in most bacteria. To provide the cells with sufficient CO2, there exist two dissolved inorganic carbon supply (DICS) systems: the membrane potential-generating system ...

Genetic mapping of microbial and host traits reveals production of immunomodulatory lipids by Akkermansia muciniphila in the murine gut

Nature Microbiology, 2023
The molecular bases of how host genetic variation impacts the gut microbiome remain largely unknown. Here we used a genetically diverse mouse population and applied systems genetics strategies to identify interactions between host and microbe phenotypes ...
