Gut microbes predominantly act as symbiotic partners rather than raw nutrients

N. F. da Silva Soares, A. Quagliariello, S. Yigitturk, M. E. Martino

The paper quantifies the role of gut microbes in Drosophila, showing their primary benefit comes from symbiotic interactions rather than as raw nutrients.

Assessing the influence of the Mediterranean diet on dental calculus microbiome composition: a pilot study

G. Innocenti, M. E. Martino, E. Stellini, A. di Fiore, A. Quagliariello

This study examines how the Mediterranean diet affects the microbiome of dental calculus in 40 patients using 16S amplicon sequencing, aiming to identify diet-related microbial changes.

Gut microbe Lactiplantiballus plantarum undergoes different evolutionary trajectories between insects and mammals

E. Maritan, M. Gallo, D. Srutkova, A. Jelinkova, O. Benada, O. Kofronova, N. F. da Silva Soares, T. Hudcovic, I. Gifford, J. E. Barrick, M. Schwarzer, M. E. Martino

This study tracks the evolutionary trajectories of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in Drosophila and mammalian hosts, finding diet-driven evolution in insects and host-intrinsic factors driving divergence in mammals.

Beneficial Lactiplantibacillus plantarum promote Drosophila growth by down-regulating the expression of PGRP-SC1

M. Gallo, J. Vento, P. Joncour, A. Quagliariello, E. Maritan, C. Beisel, M. E. Martino

This study identifies PGRP-SC1 down-regulation by beneficial Lactiplantibacillus plantarum as a mechanism promoting Drosophila growth through increased microbial proliferation and metabolite production.

Bacterial adaptation to diet is a key evolutionary force shaping Drosophila-Lactobacillus symbiosis

M. E. Martino, P. Joncour, R. Leenay, H. Gervais, M. Shah, S. Hughes, B. Gillet, C. Beisel, F. Leulier

This study shows that bacterial adaptation to diet, not the host, drives the evolution of beneficial symbiosis between Drosophila and Lactobacillus.

D-Alanine esterification of teichoic acids contributes to Lactobacillus plantarum mediated intestinal peptidase expression and Drosophila growth promotion upon chronic undernutrition

R. C. Matos, H. Gervais, P. Joncour, M. Schwarzer, B. Gillet, M. E. Martino, P. Courtin, S. Hughes, M.-P. Chapot-Chartier, F. Leulier

This study identifies the pbpX2-dlt operon in Lactobacillus plantarum as critical for D-alanine esterification of teichoic acids, which enhances intestinal peptidase expression and promotes Drosophila growth under chronic undernutrition.
