Alternating High‐Fat and Polysaccharide Diets Modulates Gut Phage‐Bacterial Interplay
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study reveals how alternating high‐fat and polysaccharide diets reshape the human gut virome and enhance phage‐bacteria interactions. Using large‐scale metagenomic meta‐analysis and a time‐resolved mouse model, the authors show that diets strongly modulate phage abundance, lifestyle, and gene exchange, offering new insights into nutrition‐guided ...

Sequence variability of
BMC Microbiology, 2008 Background Prophages integrated within the chromosomes of Campylobacter jejuni isolates have been demonstrated very recently. Prior work with Campylobacter temperate bacteriophages, as well as evidence from prophages in other enteric bacteria, suggests ...

Proton FLASH Exposure Preserves Gut Commensal Microbiomes and Spares Intestinal Stem Cells
Advanced Science, EarlyView.This study highlights the role of Proton FLASH abdominal irradiation in sparing of intestinal stem cells and preservation of key gut microbial population resulting minimization of radiation toxicity in intestinal epithelium in mice. Our findings support the potential of Proton FLASH to improve the therapeutic ratio for abdominal radiation exposure ...

A Genomic Catalog of Migratory Microbiomes from Wild Birds across China's Habitats
Advanced Science, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Migratory birds play an important role in the spread of antimicrobial resistance (AMR); however, gaps in surveillance data from vital regions along migratory flyways across China limit the detection of emergent threats. Here, we assembled 340 metagenomes from 52 bird species covering 11 provincial administrative districts in China, presenting ...

Limnology and Oceanography: Methods, EarlyView.Abstract Investigations of hydrostatic pressure effects on microbial enzymatic processing are challenging but critical for understanding element cycling in the world's oceans. In this study, we developed and tested a stainless‐steel pressure cell capable of withstanding up to 110 MPa of hydrostatic pressure (equivalent to ~ 11,000 m depth), featuring ...

An Efficient, Counter-Selection-Based Method for Prophage Curing in Pseudomonas aeruginosa Strains
Viruses, 2021 Prophages are bacteriophages in the lysogenic state, where the viral genome is inserted within the bacterial chromosome. They contribute to strain genetic variability and can influence bacterial phenotypes. Prophages are highly abundant among the strains

The Emerging Role of Microbial Extracellular Vesicles in Neuroinflammation and Neurodegeneration
Medicine Bulletin, EarlyView.ABSTRACT Neurodegenerative and neuropsychiatric disorders are increasingly viewed as systemic conditions shaped by interactions among peripheral immunity, microbiota, and the central nervous system. However, the mechanisms linking microbial activity to neuroinflammation and neurodegeneration remain poorly defined.
