TL;DR: It is evident from this study that the use of mixed starters creates an ideal environment for the proliferation of different phages with slightly varying host ranges, and in this environment, members of the 936-type phage species clearly dominated the phage population.

TL;DR: It is clear that Bacteroidales populations in human faecal samples have been underestimated in FISH-based studies, and new probes and complementary primer sets should be designed to examine numerical and compositional changes in the Bacteroids during dietary interventions and in studies of the obesity-associated microbiota in humans and animal model systems.

TL;DR: Modification of fermentation products and counts of some of the bacterial groups analysed in the challenged pigs receiving the treatments AC and LC were minimal, and influenced the bacterial diversity after 10 days post-challenge.

TL;DR: It is proposed that the unknown bacterium isolated from clinical specimens from dogs be classified as a new species, Corynebacterium auriscanis, which is close to but distinct from C. falsenii, C. jeikeium, and C. urealyticum.

TL;DR: The potential role of hippurate, a hepatic phase 2 conjugation product of microbial benzoate, as a marker and mediator of metabolic health was explored in human and experimental studies as mentioned in this paper.
