The Oral Microbiome of King Richard III of England. [PDF]

Am J Biol Anthropol
ABSTRACT Objectives Metagenomic investigations of ancient dental calculus provide insights into oral health, disease, and diet. Here, we analyze the dental calculus metagenome of King Richard III of England (1452–1485). Materials and Methods Dental calculus DNA was extracted from three teeth of King Richard III and shotgun sequenced to a depth of ...

Airborne bacterial populations above desert soils of the McMurdo Dry Valleys, Antarctica [PDF]

, 2014
Bacteria are assumed to disperse widely via aerosolized transport due to their small size and resilience. The question of microbial endemicity in isolated populations is directly related to the level of airborne exogenous inputs, yet this has proven hard

Shotgun metagenome sequencing and recovery of 444 metagenome-assembled microbial genomes from the biofloc aquaculture system

, 2023
We assembled a total of 444 medium- to high-quality metagenome-assembled genomes (MAGs) with completeness > 50% and contamination < 5%, from floc-associated bacterial community (FAB) of a commercial shrimp biofloc aquaculture system, located in South ...

Accessing the soil metagenome for studies of microbial diversity [PDF]

, 2011
Soil microbial communities contain the highest level of prokaryotic diversity of any environment, and metagenomic approaches involving the extraction of DNA from soil can improve our access to these communities.

Soil as an extended composite phenotype of the microbial metagenome [PDF]

, 2020
© 2020, The Author(s). We use a unique set of terrestrial experiments to demonstrate how soil management practises result in emergence of distinct associations between physical structure and biological functions.

Environmental shaping of codon usage and functional adaptation across microbial communities. [PDF]

, 2013
Microbial communities represent the largest portion of the Earth's biomass. Metagenomics projects use high-throughput sequencing to survey these communities and shed light on genetic capabilities that enable microbes to inhabit every corner of the ...

A Catalog of over 5,000 Metagenome-Assembled Microbial Genomes from the Caprinae Gut Microbiota

Microbiology Spectrum, 2022
We constructed a microbiota catalog containing 5,046 MAGs from Caprinae gut from six regions of China. Most of the MAGs do not overlap known databases and appear to be potentially new species.

Performance of Multiple Metagenomics Pipelines in Understanding Microbial Diversity of a Low-Biomass Spacecraft Assembly Facility [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
NASA planetary protection (PP) requires an assessment of the biological contamination of the potential microbial burden on spacecraft destined to explore planetary bodies that may harbor signs of life, like Mars and Europa. To help meet these goals, the performance of multiple metagenomic pipelines were compared and assessed for their ability to detect

Graph-Based Approaches Significantly Improve the Recovery of Antibiotic Resistance Genes From Complex Metagenomic Datasets

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
The lack of control over the usage of antibiotics leads to propagation of the microbial strains that are resistant to many antimicrobial substances. This situation is an emerging threat to public health and therefore the development of approaches to ...
