Our objective was to characterize species‐specific and individual‐specific abundance patterns in the fecal microbiota of herbivores and carnivores, represented by wildebeests (Connochaetes taurinus) and tigers (Panthera tigris). In order to identify individual variations, we applied two different clustering algorithms with and without prior dynamic ...

Gut microbial diversity among Yorkshire, Landrace and Duroc boars and its impact on semen quality
The gut microbiota plays an important role in pig health and performance, particularly in host growth and fecundity. In present study, the characteristics and diversity of gut microbiota in fine purebred boars from three-way crossbred “Duroc×Landrace ...

Site-specific response of sediment microbial community to supplementation of polyhydroxyalkanoates as biostimulants for PCB reductive dechlorination [PDF]
The use of biodegradable plastics is constantly raising, increasing the likeliness for these polymers to end up in the environment. Environmental applications foreseeing the intentional release of biodegradable plastics have been also recently proposed ...

Diversity and evolutionary patterns in the bacterial gut microbiota of termites and cockroaches [PDF]
This thesis comprises an array of studies about the bacterial gut microbiota in cockroaches and termites belonging to the superorder Dictyoptera. A high-throughput sequencing method, namely 454 pyrotag sequencing, was established and tested to analyzing ...

Stability of a dominant sponge‐symbiont in spite of antibiotic‐induced microbiome disturbance
Abstract Marine sponges are known for their complex and stable microbiomes. However, the lack of a gnotobiotic sponge‐model and experimental methods to manipulate both the host and the microbial symbionts currently limit our mechanistic understanding of sponge‐microbial symbioses.

Influenza A Virus (IAV) infection followed by bacterial pneumonia often leads to hospitalization and death in individuals from high risk groups. Following infection, IAV triggers the process of viral RNA replication which in turn disrupts healthy gut ...

Cellulolytic and Xylanolytic Microbial Communities Associated With Lignocellulose-Rich Wheat Straw Degradation in Anaerobic Digestion [PDF]
The enzymatic hydrolysis of lignocellulosic polymers is generally considered the rate-limiting step to methane production in anaerobic digestion of lignocellulosic biomass.

Mental health and periodontal and peri‐implant diseases
Abstract Mental health disorders, particularly depression and anxiety, affect a significant number of the global population. Several pathophysiological pathways for these disorders have been identified, including the hypothalamic‐pituitary‐adrenal axis, autonomic nervous system, and the immune system.
