Comparative analysis of macroalgae supplementation on the rumen microbial community: Asparagopsis taxiformis inhibits major ruminal methanogenic, fibrolytic, and volatile fatty acid-producing microbes in vitro. [PDF]
Seaweeds have received a great deal of attention recently for their potential as methane-suppressing feed additives in ruminants. To date, Asparagopsis taxiformis has proven a potent enteric methane inhibitor, but it is a priority to identify local ...

Structural adjustment of Schwartzia brasiliensis (Marcgraviaceae) in two restinga formations
Abstract This study investigated the foliar plasticity in Schwartzia brasiliensis in restinga formations (shrub and shrub-tree restinga) in southern Brazil. In each area, 10 individuals were selected and leaves in sunlight were collected for an analysis of functional leaf traits, including: fresh and dry leaf mass, leaf area, specific leaf area ...

Abstract Humans have co‐existed with parasites for virtually the entirety of our existence as a species. Today, nearly one third of the human population is infected with at least one helminthic species, most of which reside in the intestinal tract, where they have co‐evolved alongside the human gut microbiota (GM).

Microbiomes in supragingival biofilms and saliva of adolescents with gingivitis and gingival health
Abstract Background Important alterations exist in the microbiomes of supragingival biofilm and saliva samples from adolescent patients developing induced or spontaneous gingivitis relative to healthy controls. These and the relationships to dental health are not fully understood yet.

Compositional Data Analysis of Periodontal Disease Microbial Communities
Periodontal disease (PD) is a chronic, progressive polymicrobial disease that induces a strong host immune response. Culture-independent methods, such as next-generation sequencing (NGS) of bacteria 16S amplicon and shotgun metagenomic libraries, have ...

Background and Objectives The skin microbiota partly determined by epidermal barrier plays an important role in acne vulgaris and intense pulsed light (IPL) has been verified as a safe and effective therapeutic option for this disease. Nevertheless, the exact role of the IPL treatment on the skin microbiota and epidermal barrier for patients with acne ...

The relationship between intestinal bacteria and hyperuricemia is a hot research topic. To better understand this relationship, uricase‐deficient Sprague–Dawley rats (Kunming‐DY rats) were used. The wild‐type rats and Kunming‐DY rats were used as controls. Kunming‐DY rats were treated with ampicillin (90 mg/kg) and ciprofloxacin (150 mg/kg) for 5 days.

Schwartzia succinivorans gen. nov., sp. nov., Another Ruminal Bacterium Utilizing Succinate as the Sole Energy Source [PDF]
Four strains of gram-negative, anaerobic, non-spore-forming bacteria that were curved rods which were motile by means of flagella originating from the concave side of the cells and which fermented succinate quantitatively to propionate were isolated from high dilutions of rumen ingesta obtained from cows on pasture. The bacteria were asaccharolytic and
