Reversible fixation of microbial cells for targeted genomics

This paper introduces DSP as a reversible fixative for microbial cells that enables fluorescence imaging and DNA extraction, improving targeted microbial genomics.

Model substrate particles uncover dynamics of microbial communities associated with particulate organic matter decomposition in soil

This study uses model substrate particles to investigate how chitin and cellulose influence microbial community dynamics in soil over time.

Symbiont diversity within Loripes orbiculatus and the case for multiple hosts

The paper compares symbiont diversity in lucinid bivalves and seagrass roots, finding shared bacterial species between the two hosts.

Associations between gut microbiota and personality traits: insights from a captive common marmoset (Callithrix jacchus) colony

This study links gut microbiota composition to personality traits in captive common marmosets, finding specific bacterial taxa associated with behavioral characteristics.

Sulfoquinovose is exclusively metabolized by the gut microbiota and degraded differently in mice and humans

This study shows that sulfoquinovose is not metabolized by mice or humans but is degraded by gut microbiota, with differences in degradation pathways between mice and humans.

Extensive richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in the cow rumen

This study identifies high richness and novel taxa of sulfoquinovose-degrading bacteria in cow rumen using yihQ-targeted amplicon sequencing and metagenomics.

Edited Filamin A in myeloid cells reduces intestinal inflammation and protects from colitis

This study shows that RNA editing of FLNA in myeloid cells reduces intestinal inflammation and protects against colitis in mice and humans.

Human-derived microRNA 21 regulates indole and L-tryptophan biosynthesis transcripts in a prominent gut symbiont

This study shows that human-derived miR-21 interacts with gut microbiota and regulates bacterial transcripts involved in indole and L-tryptophan biosynthesis, potentially influencing intestinal function and disease.

Shewanella is a putative producer of polyunsaturated fatty acids in the gut soil of the composting earthworm Eisenia fetida

This study identifies Shewanella as a potential producer of polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFAs) in the gut of Eisenia fetida earthworms, revealing distinct microbial and fatty acid profiles in gut and soil environments.
