Journal ArticleDOI

Critical Evaluation of Two Primers Commonly Used for Amplification of Bacterial 16S rRNA Genes

TL;DR: This work proposes a formulation for a forward primer (27f) that includes three sequences not usually present that is better at maintaining the original rRNA gene ratio of Lactobacillus spp.
Journal ArticleDOI

Heterogeneity of Vaginal Microbial Communities within Individuals

TL;DR: The data reveal that the vaginal microbiota is not homogenous throughout the vaginal tract but differs significantly within an individual with regard to anatomical site and sampling method used, and calls for the consideration of microenvironments when sampling vaginal microbiota as a clinical predictor of vaginal health.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genome Analyses of Icelandic Strains of Sulfolobus islandicus, Model Organisms for Genetic and Virus-Host Interaction Studies

TL;DR: The genomes of two Sulfolobus islandicus strains obtained from Icelandic solfataras were sequenced and analyzed, revealing complex and diverse immune systems in both strains, consistent with them having been mobilized both intra- and intercellularly.
Journal ArticleDOI

Improved metagenome assemblies and taxonomic binning using long-read circular consensus sequence data.

TL;DR: The incorporation of CCS data produced significant enhancements in taxonomic binning and genome reconstruction of two dominant phylotypes, which assembled and binned poorly using HiSeq data alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Resistant starch diet induces change in the swine microbiome and a predominance of beneficial bacterial populations

TL;DR: Investigation of the gut microbiome of growing pigs responds to diets containing gel-forming alginate and fermentable resistant starch finds functional redundancy is seemingly apparent with respect to the microbiome’s capacity to degrade starch and other dietary polysaccharides, one of the key stages in digestion.
