Genetic selection for residual feed intake impacts the functional redundancy of the gut microbiota in pigs during the growing-finishing period

The paper compares gut microbiota between pigs selected for low and high residual feed intake, finding higher functional redundancy in low RFI pigs using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Microbiota and stress: a loop that impacts memory

This study shows that chronic stress alters gut microbiota in quails, and transferring this microbiota to germ-free hosts impairs memory and increases anxiety-like behavior.

Bacterial predation on T4 phages

The paper demonstrates that bacteria can consume T4 phages, leading to phage disappearance and bacterial growth in wastewater sludge.

Analysis of viromes and microbiomes from pig fecal samples reveals that phages and prophages are not vectors of antibiotic resistance genes

The paper analyzes viromes and microbiomes from pig fecal samples to determine if phages or prophages carry antibiotic resistance genes, finding that ARGs are absent from active phages but present in prophages not detected in viromes.

Functional maturation of the gut microbiota at weaning is influenced by maternal environment in piglets

This study shows that weaning alters gut microbiota function in piglets, with changes influenced by maternal environment.

The fecal microbiota of piglets is influenced by the farming environment and is associated with piglet robustness at weaning

This study examines how the farming environment and microbiota composition influence piglet robustness at weaning, finding that microbiota shifts are consistent across farms and linked to growth stability.
