Analysis of Gut Microbiota and Metabolites in Diannan Small Ear Sows at Diestrus and Metestrus
The physiological state of the host affects the gut microbes. The estrus cycle is critical to the reproductive cycle of sows. However, the association between gut microbes and animal estrus is poorly understood.

Characterization of the Core and Caste-Specific Microbiota in the Termite, Reticulitermes flavipes [PDF]
The hindgut of the termite Reticulitermes flavipes harbors a complex symbiotic community consisting of protists, bacteria, and archaea. These symbionts aid in the digestion of lignocellulose from the termite’s wood meal. Termite hindguts were sampled and

Persistent tissue-specific resident microbiota in oysters across a broad geographical range. [PDF]
Wild eastern oysters along the US East Coast harbour unique, tissue‐specific microbial communities that are distinct from the surrounding seawater and sediment microbiomes. These resident microbes persist across different geographic locations, underscoring the oyster's role in selecting its microbiome.

Amplification of the flgE gene provides evidence for the existence of a Brazilian borreliosis
INTRODUCTION: The symptoms of Brazilian borreliosis resemble the clinical manifestations of Lyme disease (LD). However, there are differences between the two in terms of epidemiological and laboratory findings.

Schizasterid Heart Urchins Host Microorganisms in a Digestive Symbiosis of Mesozoic Origin
Because of their lifestyles, abundance, and feeding habits, infaunal marine deposit feeders have a significant impact on the ocean floor. As these animals also ingest microorganisms associated with their sediment and seawater diet, their digestive tract ...

Noma affected children from Niger have distinct oral microbial communities based on high-throughput sequencing of 16S rRNA gene fragments. [PDF]
We aim to understand the microbial ecology of noma (cancrum oris), a devastating ancient illness which causes severe facial disfigurement in>140,000 malnourished children every year. The cause of noma is still elusive.

The breast tissue microbiome, stroma, immune cells and breast cancer
Background: Stromal and immune cell composition alterations in benign breast tissue associate with future cancer risk. Pilot data suggest the innate microbiome of normal breast tissue differs between women with and without breast cancer.

Effect of a Profound Feedstock Change on the Structure and Performance of Biogas Microbiomes
In this study the response of biogas-producing microbiomes to a profound feedstock change was investigated. The microbiomes were adapted to the digestion of either 100% sugar beet, maize silage, or of the silages with elevated amounts of total ammonium ...
