Microbial community profiles of the snake cloaca in the presence and absence of Chlamydiota

The paper examines microbial community differences in snake cloaca with and without Chlamydiota, finding subtle compositional and functional shifts associated with infection.

Comparative analysis of cloacal microbiota in Henophidia (non-venomous) and Caenophidia (venomous) snakes

This study compares cloacal microbiota between venomous and non-venomous snakes, finding higher bacterial richness and distinct community structures in non-venomous species.

Development of shuttle vector-based transformation systems for Chlamydia pecorum and Chlamydia caviae

This paper develops shuttle vector-based transformation systems for Chlamydia pecorum and Chlamydia caviae, showing successful transformation and fluorescent protein expression, but not for C. abortus.

Nanopore- and AI-empowered microbial viability inference

This paper introduces a computational framework using nanopore sequencing and deep learning to infer microbial viability from raw signal data, showing high accuracy in controlled and real-world applications.
