How Host Phylogeny, Diet, and Habitat Affect Gut Microbial Diversity in Wild Snakes

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 7, July 2026.
Gut microbiota plays critical roles in host digestion, immune regulation, neurochemical signaling, and metabolic homeostasis. Based on wild snakes (73 individuals from 23 species) from China, we explored the composition, characteristics, and functions of gut microbes across different groups using fecal metagenomic samples; further we explored the ...

Specificities and commonalities of the Planctomycetes plasmidome

Environmental Microbiology
ABSTRACT Although plasmids play a crucial role in antibiotic resistance and contemporary biotechnology, our comprehension of their natural ecological dynamics remains restricted to a few bacterial groups. Planctomycetes is a bacterial phylum with unusual molecular and cellular biology for which little is known about its plasmidome. This

Abundance, diversity and depth distribution of Planctomycetes in northern Sphagnum-dominated wetlands

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2012
Members of the bacterial phylum Planctomycetes inhabit various aquatic and terrestrial environments. In this study, fluorescence in situ hybridization (FISH) was applied to assess the abundance and depth distribution of these bacteria in nine different ...

Organic Matter Type Defines the Composition of Active Microbial Communities Originating From Anoxic Baltic Sea Sediments

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2021
Carbon cycling in anoxic marine sediments is dependent on uncultured microbial communities. Niches of heterotrophic microorganisms are defined by organic matter (OM) type and the different phases in OM degradation.

Social organization and habitat use shape the gut microbiome of a marine fish

Journal of Animal Ecology, Volume 95, Issue 7, Page 1091-1107, July 2026.
This study provides the first evidence linking habitat use—and to a lesser extent social organization—to gut microbiome composition in a wild marine fish. The results indicate that local habitat conditions are the primary driver of microbial variation, while social effects are detectable but weak.

Anammox Planctomycetes have a peptidoglycan cell wall [PDF]

Nature Communications, 2015
AbstractPlanctomycetes are intriguing microorganisms that apparently lack peptidoglycan, a structure that controls the shape and integrity of almost all bacterial cells. Therefore, the planctomycetal cell envelope is considered exceptional and their cell plan uniquely compartmentalized.

Gut Microbiome Communities Vary Across Translocated Populations of the Seychelles Warbler

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 6, June 2026.
Conservation translocations are an increasingly common tool used to help combat species extinction but their success is dependent on a wide range of abiotic and biotic factors. To date, the potential role of host‐associated microbiomes in translocation success has been overlooked despite their fundamental contribution to host health and fitness.

Planctomycetes in Lakes: Poor or Strong Competitors for Phosphorus? [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology, 2014
ABSTRACT Experiments were conducted with water samples from two perialpine lakes with differing eutrophication status in order to examine the effects of inorganic-nutrient amendments (nitrogen as NO 3 − or NH 4 + and phosphorus as PO 4

Full‐Length 16S and 18S rRNA Long‐Read Sequencing Reveals Gut Microbiome Diversity in the European Brown Hare (Lepus europaeus)

Environmental Microbiology Reports, Volume 18, Issue 3, June 2026.
Full‐length 16S and 18S rRNA Oxford Nanopore sequencing of large intestine contents from 30 healthy European brown hares revealed broad gut microbiome diversity. An 80% identity threshold detected substantially greater taxonomic richness than 95%, emphasizing the value of long‐read sequencing in wildlife microbiome research. ABSTRACT The European brown

High ultraviolet C resistance of marine Planctomycetes [PDF]

Antonie van Leeuwenhoek, 2013
Planctomycetes are bacteria with particular characteristics such as internal membrane systems encompassing intracellular compartments, proteinaceous cell walls, cell division by yeast-like budding and large genomes. These bacteria inhabit a wide range of habitats, including marine ecosystems, in which ultra-violet radiation has a potential harmful ...
