A Novel nor@DHB Matrix for Direct Microbial Analysis in Lung Cancer Tissues

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Integrated matrix‐assisted laser desorption/ionization mass spectrometry workflow quantifies intratumoral microbes in lung cancer through lipopolysaccharide/lipid A extraction from biopsies. The novel ionic matrix called norharmane conjugated to 2,5‐dihydroxybenzoic acid enhances lipid A ionization, enabling direct detection of bacterial genera ...

Diversity of dsDNA Viruses in a South African Hot Spring Assessed by Metagenomics and Microscopy

Viruses, 2017
The current view of virus diversity in terrestrial hot springs is limited to a few sampling sites. To expand our current understanding of hot spring viral community diversity, this study aimed to investigate the first African hot spring (Brandvlei hot ...

Structure and biosynthesis of carotenoids produced by a novel Planococcus sp. isolated from South Africa

Microbial Cell Factories, 2022
Background The genus Planococcus is comprised of halophilic bacteria generally reported for the production of carotenoid pigments and biosurfactants. In previous work, we showed that the culturing of the orange-pigmented Planococcus sp.

Commensal Viruses Promote Intestinal Stem Cell Regeneration Following Radiation Damage by Inhibiting Hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch Signals

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
Ionizing radiation disrupts gut virome and bacteriome. Gut commensal viruses protect against intestinal damage and promote stem cell regeneration by inhibiting hyperactivation of RIG‐I and Notch signaling in stem cells. Fecal virome transplantation (FVT) from healthy donors can serve as a potential therapeutic intervention by enriching phages targeting

Megasphaera Elesdenii Dysregulates Colon Epithelial Homeostasis, Aggravates Colitis‐Associated Tumorigenesis

Advanced Science, EarlyView.
A fecal microbial meta‐analysis reveals that Megasphaera is highly abundant in the Asian population with IBD and CRC. M. elsdenii reshapes colonic immunity by triggering DC cell‐mediated Th1 and Th17 inflammation. M. elsdenii and M. elsdenii‐enriched microbiota exacerbate colonic inflammation and tumorigenesis in AOM/DSS mice.

A Bioinformatician's Guide to Metagenomics [PDF]

Microbiology and Molecular Biology Reviews, 2008
SUMMARYAs random shotgun metagenomic projects proliferate and become the dominant source of publicly available sequence data, procedures for the best practices in their execution and analysis become increasingly important. Based on our experience at the Joint Genome Institute, we describe the chain of decisions accompanying a metagenomic project from ...
