Journal ArticleDOI
The etiology of white pox, a lethal disease of the Caribbean elkhorn coral, Acropora palmata.
Kathryn L. Patterson,James Porter,Kim B. Ritchie,Shawn W. Polson,Erich Mueller,Esther C. Peters,Deborah L. Santavy,Garriet W. Smith +7 more
TL;DR: This report identifies a common fecal enterobacterium, Serratia marcescens, as the causal agent of white pox, the first time, to the authors' knowledge, that a bacterial species associated with the human gut has been shown to be a marine invertebrate pathogen.
Journal ArticleDOI
High-fat-diet-mediated dysbiosis promotes intestinal carcinogenesis independently of obesity
Manon D. Schulz,Çiğdem Atay,Jessica Heringer,Franziska K. Romrig,Sarah Schwitalla,Begüm Aydin,Paul K. Ziegler,Julia Varga,W Reindl,Claudia Pommerenke,Gabriela Salinas-Riester,Andreas Böck,Carl Alpert,Michael Blaut,Sara C. Polson,Lydia Brandl,Thomas Kirchner,Florian R. Greten,Shawn W. Polson,Melek C. Arkan +19 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that an HFD promotes tumour progression in the small intestine of genetically susceptible, K-rasG12Dint, mice independently of obesity, and this data underscore the importance of the reciprocal interaction between host and environmental factors in selecting a microbiota that favours carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The effect of nutrient deposition on bacterial communities in Arctic tundra soil
Barbara J. Campbell,Shawn W. Polson,Thomas E. Hanson,Thomas E. Hanson,Michelle C. Mack,Edward A. G. Schuur +5 more
TL;DR: The combined data indicate that long-term fertilization resulted in a significant change in microbial community structure and function linked to changes in carbon and nitrogen availability and shifts in above-ground plant communities.
Journal ArticleDOI
Aurantimonas coralicida gen. nov., sp. nov., the causative agent of white plague type II on Caribbean scleractinian corals.
Ewald B. M. Denner,Garriet W. Smith,Hans-Jürgen Busse,Peter Schumann,Thomas Narzt,Shawn W. Polson,Werner Lubitz,Laurie L. Richardson +7 more
TL;DR: To accommodate this emerging coral pathogen, the creation of a new genus and species is proposed, Aurantimonas coralicida gen. nov., sp.
Journal ArticleDOI
Groundtruthing next-gen sequencing for microbial ecology-biases and errors in community structure estimates from PCR amplicon pyrosequencing.
Charles Kai-Wu Lee,Craig W. Herbold,Shawn W. Polson,Shawn W. Polson,Shawn W. Polson,K. Eric Wommack,Shannon J. Williamson,Ian R. McDonald,S. Craig Cary,S. Craig Cary +9 more
TL;DR: The pyrosequencing process itself did not appear to impose significant biases on overall community structure estimates, although the detection limit for rare taxa may be affected by PCR amplicon size and quality control approach employed.
