The contribution of maternal oral, vaginal, and gut microbiota to the developing offspring gut
There is limited understanding of how the microbiota colonizing various maternal tissues contribute to the development of the neonatal gut microbiota (GM). To determine the contribution of various maternal microbiotic sites to the offspring microbiota in

Microbiota of Cow’s Milk with Udder Pathologies
Mastitis is the most common disease for cattle, causing great economic losses for the global dairy industry. Recent studies indicate the multi-agent and microbiome diversity of this disease.

This study proposes a novel model illustrating how quorum sensing (QS) regulates the type III‐A CRISPR‐Cas system in Staphylococcus aureus. The QS regulator AgrA suppresses CRISPR‐Cas activity by downregulating the transcriptional regulators SarA and ArcR.

Temporal disturbance of a model stream ecosystem by high microbial diversity from treated wastewater
Microbial communities in freshwater streams play an essential role in ecosystem functioning via biogeochemical cycling. Yet, the impacts of treated wastewater influx into stream ecosystems on microbial strain diversity remain mostly unexplored.

This study illustrates the impact of viruses on carbon cycling in soils with different availabilities of carbon. In conditions of low carbon availability, viruses adopt a lysogenic lifestyle, integrate into the host genomes and facilitate the degradation of carbon.

Metagenomic mining for microbiologists [PDF]
Abstract Microbial ecologists can now start digging into the accumulating mountains of metagenomic data to uncover the occurrence of functional genes and their correlations to microbial community members. Limitations and biases in DNA extraction and sequencing technologies impact sequence distributions, and therefore, have to be ...

This study demonstrates that Akkermansia muciniphila alleviates colitis by enhancing intestinal α1,2‐fucosylation through its metabolite N‐acetylspermidine. Mechanistically, N‐acetylspermidine‐induced PIM1 inhibition promotes HDAC2‐mediated reduction of chromatin accessibility at TP73, thereby upregulating C1GALT1C1 to boost α1,2‐fucosylation.

AbstractCharacterisation of new viruses is often hindered by difficulties in amplifying them in cell culture, limited antigenic/serological cross‐reactivity or the lack of nucleic acid hybridisation to known viral sequences. Numerous molecular methods have been used to genetically characterise new viruses without prior in vitro replication or the use ...
