Fecal microbiota transplants: Emerging social representations in the English-language print media [PDF]

, 2019
open access articleThis study investigates how English-language news sources have represented fecal microbiota transplants (FMT). FMT involves transferring stool from a healthy donor to a recipient with a dysfunctional intestinal flora in order to ...

Contribution of Host Genetics to the Variation of Microbial Composition of Cecum Lumen and Feces in Pigs

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Pigs are a perfect model for studying the interaction between host genetics and gut microbiome due to the high similarity of gastrointestine and digestive system with humans, and the easily controlled feeding conditions.

Engineering the Crop Microbiota Through Host Genetics.

Annual Review of Phytopathology, 2023
The microbiota populating the plant-soil continuum defines an untapped resource for sustainable crop production. The host plant is a driver for the taxonomic composition and function of these microbial communities.

Combined effect of microbially derived cecal SCFA and host genetics on feed efficiency in broiler chickens

Microbiome, 2023
Background Improving feed efficiency is the most important goal for modern animal production. The regulatory mechanisms of controlling feed efficiency traits are extremely complex and include the functions related to host genetics and gut microbiota ...

New approaches to combat Porphyromonas gingivalis biofilms

Journal of Oral Microbiology, 2017
In nature, bacteria predominantly reside in structured, surface-attached communities embedded in a self-produced, extracellular matrix. These so-called biofilms play an important role in the development and pathogenesis of many infections, as they are ...

Variable responses of human and non-human primate gut microbiomes to a Western diet [PDF]

, 2015
BACKGROUND: The human gut microbiota interacts closely with human diet and physiology. To better understand the mechanisms behind this relationship, gut microbiome research relies on complementing human studies with manipulations of animal models ...

Fungal Genetics and Functional Diversity of Microbial Communities in the Soil under Long-Term Monoculture of Maize Using Different Cultivation Techniques

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
Fungal diversity in the soil may be limited under natural conditions by inappropriate environmental factors such as: nutrient resources, biotic and abiotic factors, tillage system and microbial interactions that prevent the occurrence or survival of the ...

The Next Generation of Microbial Ecology and Its Importance in Environmental Sustainability

Microbial Ecology, 2023
Collectively, we have been reviewers for microbial ecology, genetics and genomics studies that include environmental DNA (eDNA), microbiome studies, and whole bacterial genome biology for Microbial Ecology and other journals for about three decades. Here,

Elevated acetate kinase (ackA) gene expression, activity, and biofilm formation observed in methicillin-resistant strains of Staphylococcus aureus (MRSA)

Journal of Genetic Engineering and Biotechnology, 2023
Background Staphylococcus aureus spreads its infections through biofilms. This usually happens in the stationary phase of S. aureus growth where it utilizes accumulated acetate as a carbon source via the phosphotrans-acetylase-acetate kinase (Pta-Ack ...

Comparison of Channel Catfish and Blue Catfish Gut Microbiota Assemblages Shows Minimal Effects of Host Genetics on Microbial Structure and Inferred Function

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2018
The microbiota of teleost fish has gained a great deal of research attention within the past decade, with experiments suggesting that both host-genetics and environment are strong ecological forces shaping the bacterial assemblages of fish microbiomes ...
