Journal ArticleDOI

Improved extraction of PCR-quality community DNA from digesta and fecal samples.

TL;DR: The RBB + C method resulted in a 1.5- to 6-fold increase in DNA yield when compared to three other widely used methods and resulted in improved denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis (DGGE) profiles, which is indicative of a more complete lysis and representation of microbial diversity present in such samples.
Journal ArticleDOI

Emerging pathogenic links between microbiota and the gut-lung axis

TL;DR: Although the gut–lung axis is only beginning to be understood, emerging evidence indicates that there is potential for manipulation of the gut microbiota in the treatment of lung diseases.
Journal ArticleDOI

Comparisons of different hypervariable regions of rrs genes for use in fingerprinting of microbial communities by PCR-denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis.

TL;DR: DGGE analysis of gastrointestinal microbiomes is best accomplished by the amplification of either the V1 or V1 region of rrs genes, but if a longer amplification product is desired, then the V3 to V5 or V6 to V8 region should be targeted.
Journal ArticleDOI

Genomic characterization of the uncultured Bacteroidales family S24-7 inhabiting the guts of homeothermic animals

TL;DR: The first whole genome exploration of the Bacteroidales family S24-7 is provided, for which the name “Candidatus Homeothermaceae” is proposed, using 30 population genomes extracted from fecal samples of four different animal hosts.
Journal ArticleDOI

Opportunities to improve fiber degradation in the rumen: microbiology, ecology, and genomics

TL;DR: How newer technologies such as genomic and metagenomic approaches can be used to improve the knowledge of the functional genomic framework of plant cell wall degradation in the rumen is discussed.
