Genomic Characterization of a Novel Tenericutes Bacterium from Deep-Sea Holothurian Intestine
Microorganisms, 2020 Intestinal bacterial communities are highly relevant to the digestion, nutrition, growth, reproduction, and immunity of animals, but little is known about the composition and function of intestinal microbiota in deep-sea invertebrates. In this study, the

Starvation Influences the Microbiota in the Stomach of the Corallivorous Crown-of-Thorns Starfish. [PDF]
Biology (Basel)Simple Summary Periodic outbreaks of the crown-of-thorns starfish (CoTS), a primary coral predator, have caused severe damage to Indo-Pacific reefs. A critical unknown is how CoTS cope with prolonged starvation at the end of an outbreak to preserve their

Comparably Characterizing the Gut Microbial Communities of Amphipods from Littoral to Hadal Zones
Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023 Amphipods are an important group of invertebrates in marine ecosystems due to their high abundance and diversity. As an essential part of the marine food web, amphipods play a vital role in nutrient recycling and provide large amounts of detritus-derived

Genomic Characterization of a Novel Gut Symbiont From the Hadal Snailfish
Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020 Hadal trenches are characterized by not only high hydrostatic pressure but also scarcity of nutrients and high diversity of viruses. Snailfishes, as the dominant vertebrates, play an important role in hadal ecology.

Associations between gut microbiota and incident fractures in the FINRISK cohort [PDF]
npj Biofilms and MicrobiomesThe gut microbiota (GM) can regulate bone mass, but its association with incident fractures is unknown. We used Cox regression models to determine whether the GM composition is associated with incident fractures in the large FINRISK 2002 cohort (n = 7043,

Gut microbiome disruption in Tanzanian pulmonary tuberculosis patients: links to treatment, nutritional status, and host immunity. [PDF]
BMC MicrobiolTuberculosis (TB) and its treatment disrupt the gut microbiome, potentially impacting immune regulation and treatment outcomes. However, host-microbial interactions during TB disease are not well characterized. This cross-sectional study investigated the
