Roles of the gut virome and mycobiome in faecal microbiota transplantation
Faecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is an innovative approach to treat diseases that are associated with gut dysbiosis, by transferring a healthy stool microbiota to a recipient with disease. Beyond the bacteriome, the human gut also harbours diverse communities of viruses and fungi, collectively known as the virome and the mycobiome. The effect of

Gut mycobiome and neuropsychiatric disorders: insights and therapeutic potential. [PDF]
BackgroundThe human gut mycobiome, a minor but integral component of the gut microbiome, has emerged as a significant player in host homeostasis and disease development. While bacteria have traditionally been the focus of gut microbiome studies, recent evidence suggests that fungal communities (mycobiota) may also play a crucial role in modulating ...

Gut Mycobiome: Latest Findings and Current Knowledge Regarding Its Significance in Human Health and Disease [PDF]
The gut mycobiome, the fungal component of the gut microbiota, plays a crucial role in health and disease. Although fungi represent a small fraction of the gut ecosystem, they influence immune responses, gut homeostasis, and disease progression.

Gut Mycobiome in Atopic Dermatitis and in Overweight Young Children: A Prospective Cohort Study in Finland [PDF]
Gut bacterial alterations have been previously linked to several non-communicable diseases in adults, while the association of mycobiome is not well understood in these diseases, especially in infants and children.

The Mycobiome: A Neglected Component in the Microbiota-Gut-Brain Axis [PDF]
In recent years, the gut microbiota has been considered as a full-fledged actor of the gut–brain axis, making it possible to take a new step in understanding the pathophysiology of both neurological and psychiatric diseases. However, most of the studies have been devoted to gut bacterial microbiota, forgetting the non-negligible fungal flora.

Altered gut mycobiome in patients with end-stage renal disease and its correlations with serum and fecal metabolomes [PDF]
Background The relationship between the gut mycobiome and end-stage renal disease (ESRD) remains largely unexplored. Methods In this study, we compared the gut fungal populations of 223 ESRD patients and 69 healthy controls (HCs) based on shotgun ...

Characterization of a Core Fungal Community and Captivity-Induced Gut "Mycobiome" Change in Fowler's Toad (<i>Anaxyrus fowleri</i>). [PDF]
Amphibians like Fowler's Toad are vital to ecosystems but face population declines, prompting conservation efforts through captive breeding programs. This study examined how captivity and diet influence the fungal gut microbiome (mycobiome) in wild‐caught toads using metabarcoding.

Enterotypes of the human gut mycobiome. [PDF]
AbstractThe fungal component of the human gut microbiome, also known as the mycobiome, plays a vital role in intestinal ecology and human health. Here, we identify and characterize four mycobiome enterotypes using ITS profiling of 3,363 samples from 16 cohorts across three continents, including 572 newly profiled samples from China.
