TLDR
It is shown that the gut microbe Akkermansia muciniphila can mediate negative effects of IFNγ on glucose tolerance in mice and humans, and Irgm1 is identified as anIFNγ-regulated gene in the mouse ileum that controls gut A. muc iniphila levels.Abstract:
Cross-talk between the gut microbiota and the host immune system regulates host metabolism, and its dysregulation can cause metabolic disease. Here, we show that the gut microbe Akkermansia muciniphila can mediate negative effects of IFNγ on glucose tolerance. In IFNγ-deficient mice, A. muciniphila is significantly increased and restoration of IFNγ levels reduces A. muciniphila abundance. We further show that IFNγ-knockout mice whose microbiota does not contain A. muciniphila do not show improvement in glucose tolerance and adding back A. muciniphila promoted enhanced glucose tolerance. We go on to identify Irgm1 as an IFNγ-regulated gene in the mouse ileum that controls gut A. muciniphila levels. A. muciniphila is also linked to IFNγ-regulated gene expression in the intestine and glucose parameters in humans, suggesting that this trialogue between IFNγ, A. muciniphila and glucose tolerance might be an evolutionally conserved mechanism regulating metabolic health in mice and humans.read more

TL;DR: It is shown that metformin affected pathways with common biological functions in species from two different phyla, and many of the met formin-regulated genes in these species encoded metalloproteins or metal transporters, which provides support for the notion that altered gut microbiota mediates some of metformIn's antidiabetic effects.

TL;DR: Evidence from 42 human studies reporting microbial associations with disease, and supporting preclinical studies or clinical trials using treatments with probiotics are identified, found the genera of Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Faecalibacteriaium, Akkermansia and Roseburia were negatively associated with T2D, while theGenera of Ruminococcus, Fusobacteria, and Blautia were positively associated withT2D.

Next-generation beneficial microbes : The case of Akkermansia muciniphila
TL;DR: It is proposed that microbes and microbiomegnosy, or knowledge of the authors' gut microbiome, can become a novel source of future therapies as plants and its related knowledge have been the source for designing drugs over the last century.

Search and clustering orders of magnitude faster than BLAST
TL;DR: UCLUST is a new clustering method that exploits USEARCH to assign sequences to clusters and offers several advantages over the widely used program CD-HIT, including higher speed, lower memory use, improved sensitivity, clustering at lower identities and classification of much larger datasets.
