Investigating Colonization of the Healthy Adult Gastrointestinal Tract by Fungi

mSphere, 2018
A wide diversity of fungi have been detected in the human gastrointestinal (GI) tract with the potential to provide or influence important functions. However, many of the fungi most commonly detected in stool samples are also present in food or the oral ...

Unbiased taxonomic annotation of metagenomic samples [PDF]

, 2017
The classification of reads from a metagenomic sample using a reference taxonomy is usually based on first mapping the reads to the reference sequences and then, classifying each read at a node under the lowest common ancestor of the candidate sequences ...

Study of Akkermansia muciniphila Effect on the Gut Microbiome of Mice Under LPS-Induced Systemic Inflammation

International Journal of Inflammation
Probiotics are strains of living bacteria and yeast that play an important role in regulating the gut microbiota and enhancing host immunity. In the last decade, the bacterial species Akkermansia muciniphila has attracted great interest due to its ...

Maximal viral information recovery from sequence data using VirMAP

Nature Communications, 2018
Viral taxonomic characterization from metagenomic data suffers from high background noise and signal crosstalk. Here, the authors develop VirMAP, a novel pipeline for analyses of metagenomic data that classifies viral reconstructions independent of ...

Novel hemotropic mycoplasmas are widespread and genetically diverse in vampire bats [PDF]

, 2017
Bats (Order: Chiroptera) have been widely studied as reservoir hosts for viruses of concern for human and animal health. However, whether bats are equally competent hosts of non-viral pathogens such as bacteria remains an important open question. Here,

Rethinking plastic waste: innovations in enzymatic breakdown of oil‐based polyesters and bioplastics

FEBS Open Bio, EarlyView.
Plastic pollution remains a critical environmental challenge, and current mechanical and chemical recycling methods are insufficient to achieve a fully circular economy. This review highlights recent breakthroughs in the enzymatic depolymerization of both oil‐derived polyesters and bioplastics, including high‐throughput protein engineering, de novo ...

Pattern-Recognition Receptors and Cervical Microbiome in Patients with Early Miscarriages

International Journal of Inflammation
Early miscarriages are one of the main causes of reproductive losses. The objective of this study was to estimate Toll- and NOD-like receptors mRNA expression levels and their correlation with microbiome composition in the endocervix of patients with 1st

The gut mycobiome of the Human Microbiome Project healthy cohort

Microbiome, 2017
Background Most studies describing the human gut microbiome in healthy and diseased states have emphasized the bacterial component, but the fungal microbiome (i.e., the mycobiome) is beginning to gain recognition as a fundamental part of our microbiome ...

Metagenomics for Bacteriology [PDF]

, 2015
The study of bacteria, or bacteriology, has gone through transformative waves since its inception in the 1600s. It all started by the visualization of bacteria using light microscopy by Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, when he first described “animalcules ...
