Presence ofBorrelia burgdorferi(Spirochaetales: Spirochaetaceae) in Southern Kettle Moraine State Forest, Wisconsin, and Characterization of Strain W97F51 [PDF]
Lyme disease, caused by Borrelia burgdorferi Johnson, Schmidt, Hyde, Steigerwalt & Brenner; babesiosis, caused by Babesia microti Franca; and human granulocytic ehrlichiosis, caused by Anaplasma phagocytophilum Bakken & Dumler have been reported in Wisconsin, mainly in the endemic areas of the northwestern part of the state.

Comparative genomics identifies key adaptive traits of sponge-associated microbial symbionts.
Sponge microbiomes are often highly diverse making it difficult to determine which lineages are important for maintaining host health and homeostasis.

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

In Vitro Ruminal Metagenomic Profiles and Ruminal Fermentation Variables of Aromatic Plant Pulps. [PDF]
ABSTRACT Background Aromatic plant residues remaining after aromatic oil extraction represent a promising alternative feed source due to their rich bioactive compound content and fibrous structure. However, their fermentative behaviour and microbial degradability in the rumen require evaluation.

Dietary supplementation with citrus peel extract in transition period improves rumen microbial composition and ameliorates energy metabolism and lactation performance of dairy cows [PDF]
Background During the transition period, excessive negative energy balance (NEB) lead to metabolic disorders and reduced milk yield. Rumen microbes are responsible for resolving plant material and producing volatile fatty acids (VFA), which are the ...

More Than a Stick in the Mud: Eelgrass Leaf and Root Bacterial Communities Are Distinct From Those on Physical Mimics. [PDF]
Unique communities inhabit eelgrass leaves and roots compared to physical mimics and their environment. We examine which taxa vary to determine what host–microbe relationships may be mediate by biotic interactions. This indicates that eelgrass leaves and roots may just unique environments for microbes, but also could indicate more active partnership ...

Isolation, cultivation, and in vitro susceptibility testing of Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato: A review [PDF]
Lyme borreliosis is the most common vector-borne disease in the northern hemisphere. The agents of Lyme borreliosis are borrelia, bacteria of the family Spirochaetaceae, which are grouped in Borrelia burgdorferi sensu lato species complex.
