Heat Tolerance is Affected by the Gut Microbiota in a Vertebrate Ectotherm

This study shows that cross-species gut microbiota transplants in wood frog larvae alter their heat tolerance, with green frog microbiota increasing critical thermal maximum.

Home-field advantage affects the local adaptive interaction between Andropogon gerardii ecotypes and rhizobiome

This study shows that Andropogon gerardii ecotypes have a home-field advantage in recruiting rhizosphere microbes adapted to their local environments, supporting the home field advantage hypothesis.

High proportions of single-nucleotide variations associated with multidrug resistance in swine gut microbial populations

The paper identifies multidrug-resistant microbial populations in swine gut microbiomes through metagenomic analysis of antibiotic-treated and control groups.

Novel Complete Methanogenic Pathways in Longitudinal Genomic Study of Monogastric Age-Associated Archaea

This study identifies novel methanogenic pathways in swine archaea across age, revealing acetoclastic methanogenesis in monogastric archaea and their presence across multiple hosts and time periods.

Culturomics of Andropogon gerardii rhizobiome revealed nitrogen transforming capabilities of stress-tolerant Pseudomonas under drought conditions

The study identifies stress-tolerant Pseudomonas in the rhizobiome of Andropogon gerardii under drought, revealing nitrogen transformation capabilities that may support plant growth.

Stability and volatility shape the gut bacteriome and mycobiome dynamics in a pig model

This study examines gut microbiome dynamics in pigs, identifying distinct bacterial and fungal patterns across developmental stages and their correlations.

Early-life microbial intervention reduces colitis risk promoted by antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis

The paper shows that adding a specific Bacteroides strain early in life reduces colitis risk in genetically susceptible mice with antibiotic-induced gut dysbiosis.

Metabolic independence drives gut microbialcolonization and resilience in health and disease

This study investigates how metabolic independence influences gut microbial colonization and resilience in health and disease using fecal microbiota transplantation.

Metagenomic alterations in gut microbiota precede and predict onset of colitis in the IL10 gene-deficient murine model

The paper examines gut microbiota metagenomic profiles in a murine model to predict colitis onset and finds functional subsystems, particularly nitrogen metabolism, differ between mice that develop colitis and those that do not.

Nitrogen-Fixing Populations Of Planctomycetes And Proteobacteria Are Abundant In The Surface Ocean

The paper identifies abundant non-cyanobacterial nitrogen-fixing bacteria in surface ocean waters, challenging previous assumptions about nitrogen sources.
