Giant number fluctuations in microbial ecologies [PDF]
Journal Theoretical Biology, Vol. 308, pp. 96-104 (2012), 2012 Statistical fluctuations in population sizes of microbes may be quite large depending on the nature of their underlying stochastic dynamics. For example, the variance of the population size of a microbe undergoing a pure birth process with unlimited resources is proportional to the square of its mean.

Advances in Fecal Microbiota Transplantation for Gut Dysbiosis‐Related Diseases
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This article reviews the use of fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) to treat intestinal diseases like recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection (rCDI), inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS). It discusses FMT's efficacy, influencing factors such as donor selection, recipient characteristics, and treatment protocols ...

Available energy fluxes drive a transition in the diversity, stability, and functional structure of microbial communities [PDF]
, 2018 A fundamental goal of microbial ecology is to understand what determines the diversity, stability, and structure of microbial ecosystems. The microbial context poses special conceptual challenges because of the strong mutual influences between the microbes and their chemical environment through the consumption and production of metabolites.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.Large‐scale studies indicate a strong relationship between the gut microbiome, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), and atherosclerotic cardiovascular disease (ASCVD). Here, a higher abundance of the type III secretion system (T3SS) virulence factors of Enterobacteriaceae/Escherichia‐Shigella in patients with T2DM‐related‐ASCVD, which correlates with their

Does high sugar intake really alter the oral microbiota?: A systematic review
Clinical and Experimental Dental Research, Volume 8, Issue 6, Page 1376-1390, December 2022., 2022 Abstract Objectives Diet is one of the main factors influencing the diversity and interactions of the oral microbiota. The purpose of this study is to determine the impact of sugar intake on the microbial diversity and bacteria that predominate under these conditions.

Structure, function and diversity of the healthy human microbiome [PDF]
, 2012 Studies of the human microbiome have revealed that even healthy individuals differ remarkably in the microbes that occupy habitats such as the gut, skin and vagina. Much of this diversity remains unexplained, although diet, environment, host genetics and

Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study presents a conceptually new approach to underwater wound healing. By exploiting carbon dot (CD)‐delivered specific antisense oligonucleotide (ASO) to bacteria, targeted pathogenic gene suppression is achieved. Combined with an adhesive hydrogel, the ASO/CDs affords localized treatment of pathogen‐infected wounds underwater.

Molecular ecology of microbial mats [PDF]
FEMS Microbiology Ecology, 2014 Phototrophic microbial mats are ideal model systems for ecological and evolutionary analysis of highly diverse microbial communities. Microbial mats are small-scale, nearly closed, and self-sustaining benthic ecosystems that comprise the major element cycles, trophic levels, and food webs.

Advanced Science, EarlyView.The crystal structures of UMG‐SP2, a metagenome‐derived urethanase that degrades polyurethane, have been solved at high resolution in both ligand‐free and ligand‐bound forms with an amidase inhibitor or a small carbamate. Structure‐guided engineering of UMG‐SP2 improves the understanding of polyurethane degradation mechanisms and generates enzyme ...
