TL;DR: All fungal species represented by at least two ITS sequences in the international nucleotide sequence databases are now given a unique, stable name of the accession number type, and the term ‘species hypothesis’ (SH) is introduced for the taxa discovered in clustering on different similarity thresholds.
Journal ArticleDOI
Gut microbiota of healthy Canadian infants: profiles by mode of delivery and infant diet at 4 months
Meghan B. Azad,Theodore Konya,Heather Maughan,David S. Guttman,Catherine J. Field,Radha Chari,Malcolm R. Sears,Allan B. Becker,James A. Scott,Anita L. Kozyrskyj +9 more
TL;DR: The gut microbiota of healthy Canadian infants is characterized and the effects of delivery mode and infant diet as determinants of this essential microbial community in early life are described and advance the understanding of the gut microbiota in healthy infants.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fungus-growing ants use antibiotic-producing bacteria to control garden parasites
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe a filamentous bacterium (actinomycete) of the genus Streptomyces that produces antibiotics specifically targeted to suppress the growth of the specialized garden-parasite Escovopsis.
Fungus-Growing Ants Use Antibiotic-Producing Bacteria to Control Garden Parasites [Correction]
TL;DR: A new, third mutualist in this symbiosis is described, a filamentous bacterium (actinomycete) of the genus Streptomyces that produces antibiotics specifically targeted to suppress the growth of the specialized garden-parasite Escovopsis.
Journal ArticleDOI
