Phage therapy is emerging as a promising strategy against the growing threat of antimicrobial resistance, yet phage and bacteria are incredibly diverse and idiosyncratic in their interactions with one another. Clinical applications of phage therapy o...
Copiotrophic marine bacteria contribute to the control of carbon storage in the ocean by remineralizing organic matter. Motility presents copiotrophs with a risk-reward trade-off: it is highly beneficial in seeking out sparse nutrient hotspots, but e...
BACKGROUND: 16S rRNA amplicon sequencing is a widely used method for microbiome composition analysis due to its cost-effectiveness and lower data requirements compared to metagenomic whole-genome sequencing (WGS). However, inherent limitations in 16S...
Salinity stress poses significant challenges to agriculture, reducing productivity and limiting arable land by causing ionic and osmotic imbalances in plants, disrupting physiological processes, and leading to soil degradation over time. Halophytes a...
Alterations in the gut microbiome affect the development and severity of metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) or metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH). We analyzed microbiomes of obese children with and w...
Dose-limiting toxicities pose a major barrier to cancer treatment. While preclinical studies show that the gut microbiota influences and is influenced by anticancer drugs, data from patients paired with careful side effect monitoring remains limited....
Brassicaceae microgreens constitute a novel and promising source of bioactive compounds, such as polyphenols and glucosinolates. In this work, an integrative computational approach was performed to decipher the interaction between bioaccessible micro...
Differentiating significant microbial community changes from normal fluctuations is vital for understanding microbial dynamics in human and environmental ecosystems. This knowledge could enable early warning systems to monitor critical changes affect...
Most microbiota determination (skin, gut, soil, etc.) are currently conducted in a laboratory using expensive equipment and lengthy procedures, including culture-dependent methods, nucleic acid amplifications (including quantitative PCR), DNA microar...
