The need for high-resolution gut microbiome characterization to design efficient strategies for sustainable aquaculture production

This study evaluates microbiota-directed fibers (MDFs) in Atlantic salmon diets, finding negligible effects on gut microbiome and host physiology, but identifying potential endogenous lactic acid bacteria for future MDF strategies.

The Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas enables novel insights into bacteria-host interactions via functional mapping

The paper presents the Salmon Microbial Genome Atlas, a collection of bacterial genomes from Atlantic salmon, and functionally characterizes key gut microbiota populations involved in nutrient processing and health.

A technical pipeline for screening microbial communities as a function of substrate specificity through single cell fluorescent imaging

The paper develops a technical pipeline using fluorescent imaging to screen microbial communities for substrate specificity in glycan metabolism.

Human gut Faecalibacterium prausnitzii deploy a highly efficient conserved system to cross-feed on β-mannan-derived oligosaccharides

This study identifies a conserved system in Faecalibacterium prausnitzii that enables efficient cross-feeding on β-mannan-derived oligosaccharides, enhancing butyrate production in the human gut.

Microbiota-directed fibre activates both targeted and secondary metabolic shifts in the distal gut.

This study shows that a tailored acetylated galactoglucomannan fibre selectively activates butyrate-producing gut bacteria and triggers secondary metabolic shifts in neighboring microbial populations in pigs.

DRAM for distilling microbial metabolism to automate the curation of microbiome function

DRAM automates microbiome function curation by translating genomic data into microbial traits, accurately assigning metabolic roles in soil and gut communities.
