Unraveling differences in fecal microbiota stability in mammals: from high variable carnivores and consistently stable herbivores [PDF]
BACKGROUND Through the rapid development in DNA sequencing methods and tools, microbiome studies on a various number of species were performed during the last decade. This advance makes it possible to analyze hundreds of samples from different species

Microbial community analysis in the gills of abalones suggested possible dominance of epsilonproteobacterium in Haliotis gigantea [PDF]
Gills are important organs for aquatic invertebrates because they harbor chemosynthetic bacteria, which fix inorganic carbon and/or nitrogen and provide their hosts with organic compounds.

Molecular survey of Ixodes scapularis associated pathogens from Odocoileus virginianus at Lake Arcadia in Edmond, Oklahoma [PDF]
Odocoileus virginianus (white-tailed deer) is the primary host and vector for Ixodes scapularis (deer tick). Most of the research into Ixodes scapularis has been geographically restricted to the northeastern United States, with limited interest in ...

Altered diversity and composition of gut microbiota in Wilson's disease
Wilson’s disease (WD) is an autosomal recessive inherited disorder of chronic copper toxicosis with high mortality and disability. Recent evidence suggests a correlation between dysbiosis in gut microbiome and multiple diseases such as genetic and ...

Microbiomes attached to fresh perennial ryegrass are temporally resilient and adapt to changing ecological niches [PDF]
Background Gut microbiomes, such as the rumen, greatly influence host nutrition due to their feed energy-harvesting capacity. We investigated temporal ecological interactions facilitating energy harvesting at the fresh perennial ryegrass (PRG)-biofilm ...

Biochar is a carbonaceous material resulting from the pyrolysis of biomass carried out in a rotary kiln with little oxygen. Biochar provides many advantages for animal nutrition when utilized as an ingredient in a blended product, including improved animal feed digestibility, reduced enteric methane production, and increased livestock growth ...

Gut microbiota and autoimmune diseases: Insights from Mendelian randomization
Gut microbiota is significantly linked to autoimmune diseases (AID) like systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE), multiple sclerosis (MS), and rheumatoid arthritis (RA). These associations include changes in gut microbial diversity and the abundance of specific gut microbiota, but they do not necessarily imply causation.
