Direct Metatranscriptome RNA-seq and Multiplex RT-PCR Amplicon Sequencing on Nanopore MinION – Promising Strategies for Multiplex Identification of Viable Pathogens in Food

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Viable pathogenic bacteria are major biohazards that pose a significant threat to food safety. Despite the recent developments in detection platforms, multiplex identification of viable pathogens in food remains a major challenge.

Winter-active spiders (Clubiona) have a hyperactive antifreeze protein with a unique beta-solenoid fold. [PDF]

FEBS J
Antifreeze proteins from winter‐active spiders were purified using their affinity for ice. After LC–MSMS characterization, corresponding transcripts were identified. The antifreeze protein folds as a β‐solenoid with a large flat ice‐binding site on one surface and can bind to ice crystals and prevent their growth at −4 °C.

Improved Metabolite Prediction Using Microbiome Data-Based Elastic Net Models

Frontiers in Cellular and Infection Microbiology, 2021
Microbiome data are becoming increasingly available in large health cohorts, yet metabolomics data are still scant. While many studies generate microbiome data, they lack matched metabolomics data or have considerable missing proportions of metabolites ...

Phytoplankton cell size control can be affected by photosynthetic light energy utilization

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2022
Phytoplankton cell size is well known as an essential functional trait, but its control factors are still unclear. Considering light provides the necessary energy for phytoplankton survival, we hypothesized that photosynthetic light energy utilization ...

Use of Metatranscriptomics in Microbiome Research [PDF]

Bioinformatics and Biology Insights, 2016
The human intestinal microbiome is a microbial ecosystem that expresses as many as 100 times more genes than the human host, thereby constituting an important component of the human holobiome, which contributes to multiple health and disease processes.

Metatranscriptomics From a Small Aquatic System: Microeukaryotic Community Functions Through the Diurnal Cycle

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Light is an important factor for the growth of planktonic organisms, and many of them depend on the diurnal light/dark cycle to regulate key metabolic processes.

Discrimination of Bacterial Community Structures among Healthy, Gingivitis, and Periodontitis Statuses through Integrated Metatranscriptomic and Network Analyses

mSystems, 2021
Periodontal disease is an inflammatory condition caused by polymicrobial infection. The inflammation is initiated at the gingiva (gingivitis) and then extends to the alveolar bone, leading to tooth loss (periodontitis).

Functional and Compositional Changes in the Fecal Microbiome of a Shorebird during Migratory Stopover

mSystems, 2023
Shorebirds migrate long distances twice annually, which requires intense physiological and morphological adaptations, including the ability to rapidly gain weight via fat deposition at stopover locations.
