TL;DR: It is observed that statistical power increases considerably when stratification is employed, meaning that less samples are needed to detect the same effect size with the same power.

TL;DR: It is indicated that chilling temperatures affect the bacterial community composition within the maize root endosphere, and two promising strains that promoted maize growth under chilling conditions were identified that belonged to the root endophytic bacterial families, from which the relative abundance remained unchanged by variations in the growth temperature.

TL;DR: Resources from a population of 242 healthy adults sampled at 15 or 18 body sites up to three times are presented, which have generated 5,177 microbial taxonomic profiles from 16S ribosomal RNA genes and over 3.5 terabases of metagenomic sequence so far.

TL;DR: B. pullicaecorum 25-3(T) is a mucus-associated bacterium whose potency to stimulate butyrate production is characterized by a large interindividual variability in terms of composition of the receiving microbial community.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated whether inflammatory markers, bacterial components, bile acids, short-chain fatty acids, and gut microbes could contribute to explain the specific phenotype discriminating the onset of an obese and/or a diabetic state in ob/ob and db/db mice.
