Polyphosphate application influences morpho-physiological root traits involved in P acquisition and durum wheat growth performance

BMC Plant Biology, 2022
Background Among phosphate (P) fertilizers, polyphosphates (PolyPs) have shown promising results in terms of crop yield and plant P nutrition. However, compared to conventional P inputs, very little is known on the impact of PolyPs fertilizers on below ...

Role of mucin glycosylation in the gut microbiota-brain axis of core 3 O-glycan deficient mice

Scientific Reports, 2023
Alterations in intestinal mucin glycosylation have been associated with increased intestinal permeability and sensitivity to inflammation and infection. Here, we used mice lacking core 3-derived O-glycans (C3GnT−/−) to investigate the effect of impaired ...

Tabanids as possible pathogen vectors in Senegal (West Africa)

Parasites & Vectors, 2020
Background Species of the Tabanidae are potent vectors of human and animal diseases, but they have not been thoroughly investigated to date. In Senegal (West Africa), little information is available on these dipterans.

Genomic analysis of a rare recurrent Listeria monocytogenes prosthetic joint infection indicates a protected niche within biofilm on prosthetic materials

Scientific Reports, 2021
Listeria monocytogenes is a rare cause of prosthetic joint infections (PJI). In this study, we describe a case of recurrent L. monocytogenes infections, 39 months apart, following debridement and retention of a prosthetic hip.

Micromanagement in the gut : microenvironmental factors govern colon mucosal biofilm structure and functionality [PDF]

, 2015
The human gut microbiome provides us with functional features that we did not have to evolve ourselves and can be viewed as a structured microbial community that operates like a microbial organ within the human host.

A β-glucuronidase (GUS) Based Bacterial Competition Assay to Assess Fine Differences in Fitness during Plant Infection

Bio-Protocol, 2022
Competition assays are a simple phenotyping strategy that confront two bacterial strains to evaluate their relative fitness. Because they are more accurate than single-strain growth assays, competition assays can be used to highlight slight differences ...

Shaping the leaf microbiota: plant–microbe–microbe interactions [PDF]

Journal of Experimental Botany, 2020
AbstractThe aerial portion of a plant, namely the leaf, is inhabited by pathogenic and non-pathogenic microbes. The leaf’s physical and chemical properties, combined with fluctuating and often challenging environmental factors, create surfaces that require a high degree of adaptation for microbial colonization.

Much ado about nothing? Off-target amplification can lead to false-positive bacterial brain microbiome detection in healthy and Parkinson’s disease individuals

Microbiome, 2021
Background Recent studies suggested the existence of (poly-)microbial infections in human brains. These have been described either as putative pathogens linked to the neuro-inflammatory changes seen in Parkinson’s disease (PD) and Alzheimer’s disease (AD)
