The Gene Catalog and Comparative Analysis of Gut Microbiome of Big Cats Provide New Insights on Panthera Species

open access: yesFrontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Majority of metagenomic studies in the last decade have focused on revealing the gut microbiomes of humans, rodents, and ruminants; however, the gut microbiome and genic information (gene catalog) of large felids such as Panthera species are largely ...

Longitudinal study of the scalp microbiome suggests coconut oil to enrich healthy scalp commensals

open access: yesScientific Reports, 2021
Dandruff is a recurrent chronic scalp disorder, affecting majority of the population worldwide. Recently a metagenomic study of the Indian scalp microbiome described an imperative role of bacterial commensals in providing essential vitamins and amino ...

Deconvolute individual genomes from metagenome sequences through short read clustering. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2020
Metagenome assembly from short next-generation sequencing data is a challenging process due to its large scale and computational complexity. Clustering short reads by species before assembly offers a unique opportunity for parallel downstream assembly of

MGM as a Large‐Scale Pretrained Foundation Model for Microbiome Analyses in Diverse Contexts

open access: yesAdvanced Science, EarlyView.
We present the Microbial General Model (MGM), a transformer‐based foundation model pretrained on over 260,000 microbiome samples. MGM learns contextualized microbial representations via self‐supervised language modeling, enabling robust transfer learning, cross‐regional generalization, keystone taxa discovery, and prompt‐guided generation of realistic,

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

open access: yesViruses, 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 ...

Gestational diabetes and the human salivary microbiota: a longitudinal study during pregnancy and postpartum

open access: yesBMC Pregnancy and Childbirth, 2020
Background An aberrant composition of the salivary microbiota has been found in individuals with type 2 diabetes, and in pregnant women salivary microbiota composition has been associated with preeclampsia and pre-term birth.

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

open access: yesMicrobial 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.

The gut microbiota and immune checkpoint inhibitors. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
Although immunotherapy has been remarkably effective across multiple cancer types, there continues to be a significant number of non-responding patients. A possible factor proposed to influence the efficacy of immunotherapies is the gut microbiome.
