Robust Variation in Infant Gut Microbiome Assembly Across a Spectrum of Lifestyles

This study compares infant gut microbiome assembly in Hadza hunter-gatherers and industrialized infants, finding distinct microbial trajectories and functional differences.

Ultra-deep Sequencing of Hadza Hunter-Gatherers Recovers Vanishing Microbes

The paper uses ultra-deep metagenomic sequencing to analyze the gut microbiome of Hadza hunter-gatherers, revealing many microbes absent from existing datasets and highlighting differences in microbial dynamics compared to industrialized populations.

Gut Microbiota-Targeted Diets Modulate Human Immune Status

This study examines how plant-based fiber and fermented food diets affect the gut microbiome and immune system in healthy adults over 17 weeks.

High-throughput cultivation of stable, diverse, fecal-derived microbial communities to model the intestinal microbiota

This study develops a high-throughput method to cultivate diverse, stable fecal-derived microbial communities in vitro, demonstrating their utility for modeling the intestinal microbiota and predicting in vivo responses to antibiotics.

Mucin-derived O-glycans supplemented to diet mitigate diverse microbiota perturbations

The paper shows that mucin-derived O-glycans can restore microbiota balance and improve host health by promoting beneficial microbes and suppressing pathogens.

Invasive freshwater snails form novel microbial relationships

This study compares the microbiota of native and invasive freshwater snails, finding distinct microbial communities in invaders and suggesting novel symbioses form during invasion.

The developing premature infant gut microbiome is a major factor shaping the microbiome of neonatal intensive care unit rooms

The paper investigates how the gut microbiome of premature infants shapes the microbial composition of NICU rooms over time.
