TL;DR: It is shown that the use of culturomics allows the culture of organisms corresponding to sequences previously not assigned, which doubles the number of species isolated at least once from the human gut.
Journal ArticleDOI
Salt in stools is associated with obesity, gut halophilic microbiota and Akkermansia muciniphila depletion in humans.

TL;DR: Fecal salinity was associated with obesity independently of geographical origin, gender, and age andGenomics analysis suggested that halophilic microbes are not only transient passengers but may be residents of the human gut.
Journal ArticleDOI
Description of 'Bacillus dakarensis' sp. nov., 'Bacillus sinesaloumensis' sp. nov., 'Gracilibacillus timonensis' sp. nov., 'Halobacillus massiliensis' sp. nov., 'Lentibacillus massiliensis' sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus senegalensis' sp. nov., 'Oceanobacillus timonensis' sp. nov., 'Virgibacillus dakarensis' sp. nov. and 'Virgibacillus marseillensis' sp. nov., nine halophilic new species isolated from human stool

TL;DR: The main characteristics of ‘Bacillus dakarensis’ and ‘Virgibacillus marseillensis’ isolated in 2016 from salty stool samples from healthy Senegalese living at Dielmo and N’diop, two villages in Senegal are reported.
Journal ArticleDOI
Halophilic & halotolerant prokaryotes in humans.
TL;DR: The halotolerant and halophilic bacteria which have been isolated in humans are listed and rarely pathogenic: of these 52 halophile prokaryotes only two species were classified in Risk Group 2.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: The genomic and phenotypic characteristics of this isolate of V. senegalensis SK-1T are described, which is an aerobic, Gram positive, moderately halophilic, motile bipolar flagellum isolated from a healthy Senegalese man.
