Journal ArticleDOI
Expanding the scope and scale of microbiome research.
TL;DR: This Special Issue is a timely exploration and expansion both of the knowledge of microbiomes in different systems and of ways to study microbiomes more effectively, and new ways to acquire information from DNA sequences obtained using high-throughput sequencing approaches.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of legume supplementation on the gut microbiota in rural Malawian infants aged 6 to 12 months.
M Isabel Ordiz,Stefan Janssen,Greg Humphrey,Gail Ackermann,Kevin Stephenson,Sophia Agapova,Oscar Divala,Yankho Kaimila,Kenneth Maleta,Caroline Zhong,Rob Knight,Indi Trehan,Indi Trehan,Phillip I. Tarr,Brigida Rusconi,Mark J. Manary,Mark J. Manary,Mark J. Manary +17 more
TL;DR: Legume supplementation in breastfed, rural African infants did not affect the structure of the gut microbial communities until the children were aged 9 mo, and the α-diversity of the fecal microbiome was unchanged among subjects after initiation of legume supplementation.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: An ancient origin of magnetotactic bacteria (MTB) before or near the divergence between the phyla Nitrospirae and Proteobacteria is reported, which has implications for the Archean geomagnetic field and paleoenvironment.

TL;DR: unique mass spectrometry informatics approaches and data mapping onto a murine 3D-model are used to provide an untargeted assessment of the chemical diversity between germ-free and colonized mice, and the finding of novel bile acids produced by the microbiome in both mice and humans are reported.
