Journal ArticleDOI
Associations with rhizosphere bacteria can confer an adaptive advantage to plants
TL;DR: It is shown that wild accessions of Arabidopsis thaliana differ in their ability to associate with the root-associated bacterium Pseudomonas fluorescens, with consequences for plant fitness, and suggested that small host-mediated changes in a microbiome can have large effects on host health.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caenorhabditis elegans responses to bacteria from its natural habitats
TL;DR: The natural microbial community of C. elegans is established using extensive culture collections and a large variety of bacteria are identified, with phyla Proteobacteria, Bacteroidetes, Firmicutes, and Actinobacteria being most abundant.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caenorhabditis elegans pathways that surveil and defend mitochondria
TL;DR: 45 C. elegans genes that are required to upregulate detoxification, pathogen-response and mitochondrial-repair pathways after inhibition of mitochondrial function by drug-induced or genetic disruption are identified from a genome-wide RNA interference screen.
Journal ArticleDOI
Caenorhabditis elegans as a Model for Microbiome Research
Fan Zhang,Maureen Berg,Katja Dierking,Marie-Anne Félix,Michael Y. Shapira,Buck S. Samuel,Hinrich Schulenburg +6 more
TL;DR: Results from the first three studies on C. elegans microbiomes are brought together, demonstrating a considerable conservation in the composition of the microbial communities, despite the distinct geographical sample origins, study approaches, labs involved and perturbations during worm processing.
Journal ArticleDOI
Influence of maternal breast milk ingestion on acquisition of the intestinal microbiome in preterm infants
Katherine E. Gregory,Buck S. Samuel,Pearl D. Houghteling,Guru Shan,Frederick M. Ausubel,Ruslan I. Sadreyev,W. Allan Walker +6 more
TL;DR: The findings suggest not only a microbial mechanism underpinning the body of evidence showing that breast milk promotes intestinal health in the preterm infant but also a dynamic interplay of host and dietary factors that facilitate the colonization of and enrichment for specific microbes during establishment of the pre term infant microbiota.
