Lead exposure changes carbohydrate and amino acid metabolism corresponding to a disturbed microbiota-gut-brain axis in mice.

Ecotoxicology and Environmental Safety
Chronic lead exposure can cause irreversible neurological damage. The brain-gut axis's involvement in lead-induced neurotoxicity, a key factor in cognitive deficits, requires further exploration.

RNA-Seq-Based Analysis Reveals Heterogeneity in Mature 16S rRNA 3′ Termini and Extended Anti-Shine-Dalgarno Motifs in Bacterial Species

G3: Genes, Genomes, Genetics, 2018
We present an RNA-Seq based approach to map 3′ end sequences of mature 16S rRNA (3′ TAIL) in bacteria with single-base specificity. Our results show that 3′ TAILs are heterogeneous among species; they contain the core CCUCC anti-Shine-Dalgarno motif, but

Galactooligosaccharides and Resistant Starch Altered Microbiota and Short-Chain Fatty Acids in an in vitro Fermentation Study Using Gut Contents of Mud Crab (Scylla paramamosain)

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Dietary carbohydrates are anaerobically fermented by gut microbiota to short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs), conferring gut health benefits. Of all tested prebiotics, galactooligosaccharides (GOS) and resistant starch (RS) stimulated the SCFA production in ...

Exploring age-related changes in gut bacterial community composition of yak: insights from different age groups

BMC Microbiology
The Qinghai-Tibetan Plateau (QTP) offers one of the most extreme environments for yaks (Bos grunniens). The yak is an indigenous species, and the wild yak was domesticated on the QTP. The gut microbiota plays a vital role in health and animal performance.

Hibernation Shifts in Gut Microbiota Composition and Metabolic Function in the Chinese Horseshoe Bat (Rhinolophus sinicus)

Ecology and Evolution, Volume 16, Issue 2, February 2026.
The composition and dynamics of gut microbial community structure in Rhinolophus sinicus, employing 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing, are conducted to investigate the effects of physiological status (winter hibernation versus summer activity) on gut microbiota composition.

Bacterial diversity in the clarki ecotype of the photosynthetic sacoglossan, Elysia crispata

MicrobiologyOpen, 2020
Few studies have examined the bacterial communities associated with photosynthetic sacoglossan sea slugs. In this study, we determined the bacterial diversity in the clarki ecotype, Elysia crispata using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Acorus tatarinowii oils exert protective effects on microglia-mediated inflammatory injury via restoring gut microbiota composition in experimental stroke rats

Brain Research Bulletin
Growing evidence has demonstrated that gut microbiota could be developed as a therapeutic target due to its contribution to microglia activation in the pathological process of ischemic stroke. Acorus tatarinowii oils (AT oils), which is considered as the
