Functional genetics of human gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron reveals metabolic requirements for growth across environments

TLDR
In this article, the authors measured the growth of a barcoded transposon mutant library of the gut commensal Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron on 48 carbon sources, in the presence of 56 stress-inducing compounds, and during mono-colonization of gnotobiotic mice.

Rapid ordering of barcoded transposon insertion libraries of anaerobic bacteria

TL;DR: In this article, a protocol was developed to assemble ordered libraries of transposon insertion mutants that is fast, cheap and effective for even strict anaerobes by making use of cell sorting to order the library and barcoded transposons to facilitate the localization of ordered mutations.

Quantifying rapid bacterial evolution and transmission within the mouse intestine.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors introduced hundreds of barcoded Escherichia coli strains into germ-free mice and quantified strain-level dynamics and metagenomic changes, highlighting the interplay between environmental transmission and rapid, deterministic selection during evolution of the intestinal microbiota.

Oregano Essential Oils Promote Rumen Digestive Ability by Modulating Epithelial Development and Microbiota Composition in Beef Cattle.

TL;DR: In this article, the effects of oregano essential oils (OEO) on the rumen digestive ability using multi-omics sequencing techniques were explored, and it was found that OEO supplementation increased the ruminant digestive ability by modulating epithelial development and microbiota composition.

The Intestinal Microbiota May Be a Potential Theranostic Tool for Personalized Medicine

TL;DR: The relationship between intestinal dysbiosis and pathologies is understood, through the research of resident microbiota, that would allow the personalization of the therapeutic antibiotic strategy.

Genomics-Based Reconstruction and Predictive Profiling of Amino Acid Biosynthesis in the Human Gut Microbiome

TL;DR: The obtained reference collection of binary metabolic phenotypes was used for predictive metabolic profiling of HGM samples from several large metagenomic datasets and will be useful for prediction of overall metabolic properties, interactions, and responses of H GM microbiomes as a function of dietary variations, dysbiosis and other perturbations.

Bile-salt-mediated induction of antimicrobial and bile resistance in Salmonella typhimurium.

TL;DR: The data suggest that bile interacts with salmonellae to increase resistance to bile and other antimicrobials and that this can occur by marRAB- and acrAB-dependent pathways that function independently with respect to biles activation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis for nutrient acquisition by dominant members of the human gut microbiota.

TL;DR: X-ray crystal structures of two functionally distinct SusCD complexes purified from Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron are presented and a general model for substrate translocation is derived to provide mechanistic insights into outer membrane nutrient import by members of the microbiota, an area of major importance for understanding human–microbiota symbiosis.

A selective gut bacterial bile salt hydrolase alters host metabolism

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that metabolites generated by a single microbial gene and enzymatic activity can profoundly alter host metabolism and gene expression at local and organism-level scales.

PULDB: the expanded database of Polysaccharide Utilization Loci

TL;DR: To improve PUL visualization and genome browsing, the previous annotation of genes encoding CAZymes, regulators, integrases and SusCD has now been expanded to include functionally relevant protein families whose genes are significantly found in the vicinity of PULs.
