Competitive lottery-based assembly of selected clades in the human gut microbiome

Microbiome, 2018
Background While the composition of the gut microbiome has now been well described by several large-scale studies, models that can account for the range of microbiome compositions that have been observed are still lacking.

Insights into the microbiome assembly during different growth stages and storage of strawberry plants

Environmental Microbiome, 2022
Background Microbiome assembly was identified as an important factor for plant growth and health, but this process is largely unknown, especially for the fruit microbiome.

Caenorhabditis nematodes influence microbiome and metabolome characteristics of their natural apple substrates over time

mSystems
The microbiomes of host organisms and their direct source environments are closely linked and key for shaping microbial community dynamics. The relationship between these linked dynamics is largely unexplored because source substrates are usually ...

Effects of Timing of Microbial Exposure on Microbiome Assembly and Amphibian Immune Development

Ecology and Evolution
Critical periods of development are time points that are especially sensitive to disruptions. Critical periods are important for microbiome assembly and the development of an effective immune system and, therefore, can have large and lasting impacts on ...

Understanding the microbiome–crop rotation nexus in karst agricultural systems: insights from Southwestern China

Frontiers in Microbiology
Understanding how soil properties and microbial communities respond to crop rotation is essential for the sustainability of agroecosystems. However, there has been limited research on how crop rotation alters below-ground microbial communities in soils ...

Structural differences in the gut microbiome of bats using terrestrial vs. aquatic feeding resources

BMC Microbiology, 2023
Bat gut microbiomes are adapted to the specific diets of their hosts. Despite diet variation has been associated with differences in bat microbiome diversity, the influence of diet on microbial community assembly have not been fully elucidated.

Interaction ecology and functional stability: a mechanistic framework for managing plant microbiomes in drylands

Frontiers in Microbiology
Drylands are critical ecosystems that support grazing and agriculture, but they are increasingly constrained by environmental stresses such as altered precipitation, warming, salinity/alkalinity, soil pH variability and desertification, which limit plant

Altering plant carbon allocation to stems has distinct effects on rhizosphere soil microbiome assembly, interactions, and potential functions in sorghum

GCB Bioenergy
Altering plant carbon allocation from leaves to stems is key to improve biomass for forage, fuel, and renewable chemicals. The sorghum dry stalk (D) locus controls a quantitative trait for sugar accumulation, with enhanced carbon allocation in the stems ...

Exclusive breastfeeding is associated with the gut microbiome maturation in infants according to delivery mode

Gut Microbes
Exclusive breastfeeding (EBF) plays a crucial role in infant gut microbiome assembly and development. However, few studies have investigated the effects of EBF in restoring a perturbed microbiome. In this study, we applied whole metagenomic sequencing to

Root triterpenoid metabolites drive the assembly and feedback regulation of the rhizosphere microbiome during flowering to senescence in Rhododendron hybridum ‘Yangmeihong’

Frontiers in Microbiology
The flowering-to-senescence transition is a critical developmental period in ornamental plants, yet the interplay between root metabolites and the rhizosphere microbiome during this process remains poorly characterized.
