This study shows that 7-dehydroxylated bile acid production by commensal bacteria is not sufficient for colonization resistance against C. difficile, suggesting other mechanisms are involved.

This study shows that gut microbiota in mice transform arsenobetaine into toxic arsenic species, affecting its accumulation and excretion.

This paper presents a pipeline for full-length 16S rRNA amplicon nanopore sequencing to analyze low-complexity microbiota, achieving species-level classification more accurately than short-read methods.
