Bacterial community analysis of treponeme-associated hoof disease in free-ranging elk (Cervus canadensis): evidence for a polybacterial etiology with geographic consistency [PDF]

Applied and Environmental Microbiology
Treponeme-associated hoof disease (TAHD) is an emerging infectious disease in free-ranging elk (Cervus canadensis) characterized by ulcerative and necrosuppurative pododermatitis with spirochete bacteria that leads to lameness and apparent increased ...

Insights into the occurrence of phylosymbiosis and co-phylogeny in the holobionts of octocorals from the Mediterranean Sea and Red Sea [PDF]

Animal Microbiome
Background Corals are the foundational species of coral reefs and coralligenous ecosystems. Their success has been linked to symbioses with microorganisms, and a coral host and its symbionts are therefore considered a single entity, called the holobiont.

Oral Microbiota Dysbiosis in Firefighters and the Potential Contributing Environmental and Lifestyle Factors Based on a Case-Control Study [PDF]

Microorganisms
Epidemiological studies show firefighters have increased risks of cancer, diabetes, and cardiovascular disease. To explore links between occupational/environmental exposures and dysbiosis-associated health risks, this case-control study compared oral ...

Microbiome Dynamics in Early Life Stages of the Precious Mediterranean Red Coral Corallium rubrum. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
The bacterial microbiota of the precious red coral Corallium rubrum matures after the first year of life. Specifically, the dominant symbionts of the adult colonies such as Spirochaetaceae were absent in larvae, settlers and recruits, suggesting that they were likely acquired horizontally from the environment between 6 months and 3 years of age ...

Unveiling microbiome changes in Mediterranean octocorals during the 2022 marine heatwaves: quantifying key bacterial symbionts and potential pathogens [PDF]

Microbiome, 2023
Background Climate change has accelerated the occurrence and severity of heatwaves in the Mediterranean Sea and poses a significant threat to the octocoral species that form the foundation of marine animal forests (MAFs).

Holobiont responses of mesophotic precious red coral Corallium rubrum to thermal anomalies [PDF]

Environmental Microbiome, 2023
Marine heat waves (MHWs) have increased in frequency and intensity worldwide, causing mass mortality of benthic organisms and loss of biodiversity in shallow waters.

Unveiling the Microeukaryotic Landscape of the Red Coral Corallium rubrum Across the Northwestern Mediterranean Sea. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
This study demonstrates that the eukaryome of the Mediterranean octocoral Corallium rubrum exhibits high variability, and the dominance of certain taxa is influenced by spatiotemporal environmental factors. Despite this, core microeukaryotic families, such as Licnophoridae and Dino‐Group I Clade 1, were consistently present, suggesting key roles in the

Selective shaping of prokaryotic communities and core symbiont maintenance suggest large-scale aquarium facilities as reservoirs of microbiome diversity in octocorals [PDF]

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionOctocorals play a critical role in coral ecosystems, contributing to habitat complexity and marine biodiversity. Despite their ecological importance, the microbial communities associated with octocorals remain understudied, particularly under

Analysis of the core bacterial community associated with consumer-ready Eastern oysters (Crassostrea virginica).

PLoS ONE, 2023
Shellfish, such as the Eastern oyster (Crassostrea virginica), are an important agricultural commodity. Previous research has demonstrated the importance of the native microbiome of oysters against exogenous challenges by non-native pathogens.
