Journal ArticleDOI

Bryn C. Taylor,Franck Lejzerowicz,Marion Poirel,Justin P. Shaffer,Lingjing Jiang,Alexander A. Aksenov,Nicole S. Litwin,Gregory Humphrey,Cameron Martino,Sandrine Miller-Montgomery,Pieter C. Dorrestein,Pieter C. Dorrestein,Patrick Veiga,Se Jin Song,Daniel McDonald,Muriel Derrien,Rob Knight +16 more
TL;DR: A combination of omics-based analyses and multi-omic approaches found that fermented food consumers have subtle differences in their gut microbiota structure, which is enriched in conjugated linoleic acid, thought to be beneficial.
Journal ArticleDOI
Commensal Bacteria and MAMPs Are Necessary for Stress-Induced Increases in IL-1β and IL-18 but Not IL-6, IL-10 or MCP-1
Thomas Maslanik,Kate Tannura,Lucas Mahaffey,Alice B. Loughridge,Lida Benninson,Luke K. Ursell,Benjamin N. Greenwood,Rob Knight,Monika Fleshner +8 more
TL;DR: Findings indicate that commensal bacteria contribute to acute stress-induced inflammatory protein responses, and support the presence of LPS-mediated signaling in stress-evoked cytokine and chemokine production.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomic Inference of the Metabolism and Evolution of the Archaeal Phylum Aigarchaeota
Zheng-Shuang Hua,Yan-Ni Qu,Qiyun Zhu,En-Min Zhou,Yan Ling Qi,Yi Rui Yin,Yang Zhi Rao,Ye Tian,Yu Xian Li,Lan Liu,Cindy J. Castelle,Brian P. Hedlund,Wen-Sheng Shu,Rob Knight,Wen-Jun Li,Wen-Jun Li +15 more
TL;DR: Six Aigarchaeota metagenomic bins from two circumneutral hot springs in Tengchong, China are analyzed to reveal that they are either strict or facultative anaerobes, and most are chemolithotrophs that can perform sulfide oxidation.
Journal ArticleDOI
Context and the human microbiome
TL;DR: The importance of reference sets in human microbiome research, limitations of existing resources, technical challenges to employing reference sets, examples of their usage, and contributions of the American Gut Project to the development of a comprehensive reference set are discussed.
Journal ArticleDOI

TL;DR: In this article , the cancer mycobiome within 17,401 patient tissue, blood, and plasma samples across 35 cancer types in four independent cohorts was comprehensively characterized, with fungal DNA and cells at low abundances across many major human cancers.
