Growth, cysts and kinetics of Borrelia garinii (Spirochaetales: Spirochaetacea) in different culture media [PDF]
The aim of the present paper was to evaluate cyst formation and growth parameters of Borrelia garinii in a range of media differing in formulation and cost. A qualitative assessment of morphology and motility of B. garinii was conducted.

Putative mutations associated with tetracycline resistance detected in Treponema spp.: an analysis of 4,355 Spirochaetales genomes [PDF]
The resurgence of syphilis has necessitated novel prophylactic strategies, such as the use of doxycycline post-exposure prophylaxis. However, the potential for increased doxycycline use to select for tetracycline resistance represents significant challenges in managing this sexually transmitted infection.

Positive Interactions Under Ocean Warming and Acidification: Crustose Coralline Algae Holobionts Enhance Gorgonian Larval Settlement Under Climate Change. [PDF]
Crustose coralline algae (CCA) are key for the settlement of the larvae of the Mediterranean white gorgonian, Eunicella singularis, especially after treatment under future climate change conditions. CCA also influence larval microbiome development. (A) Enhanced larval settlement is driven by bacterial breakdown and utilisation of CCA polysaccharides ...

Characterization of BrGH3A, a bovine rumen-derived glycoside hydrolase family 3 β-glucosidase with a permuted domain arrangement. [PDF]
The bovine rumen contains a large consortium of residential microbes that release a variety of digestive enzymes for feed degradation. However, the utilization of these microbial enzymes is still limited because these rumen microorganisms are mostly ...

Multi-omics reveals EGCG’s anti-calcification effects associated with gut microbiota and metabolite remodeling [PDF]
IntroductionVascular calcification, a pathological process driven by heterotopic calcium-phosphate deposition, arises from vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) osteochondrogenic transformation, epigenetic dysregulation, and metabolic reprogramming ...

Spirochetes isolated from arthropods constitute a novel genus Entomospira genus novum within the order Spirochaetales [PDF]
AbstractSpirochetal bacteria were successfully isolated from mosquitoes (Culex pipiens, Aedes cinereus) in the Czech Republic between 1999 and 2002. Preliminary 16S rRNA phylogenetic sequence analysis showed that these strains differed significantly from other spirochetal genera within the family Spirochaetaceae and suggested a novel bacterial genus in
