Journal ArticleDOI

Quantitative assessment of protein function prediction from metagenomics shotgun sequences

TL;DR: The results suggest that, although functions can be inferred for most proteins on earth, many functions remain to be discovered in numerous small, rare protein families.
Journal ArticleDOI

Richness and ecosystem development across faecal snapshots of the gut microbiota.

TL;DR: The need to rethink microbiome biomarkers in the context of gut ecology is discussed, with a focus on gut microbiota richness and community resilience.
Journal ArticleDOI

Butyrate Producers as Potential Next-Generation Probiotics: Safety Assessment of the Administration of Butyricicoccus pullicaecorum to Healthy Volunteers

TL;DR: In this first human intervention trial with a butyrate-producing Clostridium cluster IV isolate, B. pullicaecorum 25-3T administration was found to be both safe and well tolerated by healthy participants, paving the way for the further development of the strain as a next-generation probiotic.
Journal ArticleDOI

Integrated culturing, modeling and transcriptomics uncovers complex interactions and emergent behavior in a three-species synthetic gut community.

TL;DR: This work established a synthetic community composed of three representative human gut isolates and explored their interactions under well-controlled conditions in vitro, demonstrating that strains grown in co-culture behaved differently than those in mono-culture and confirming their altered behavior at the transcriptional level.
