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.

Species-Specific Dynamic Responses of Gut Bacteria to a Mammalian Glycan

TL;DR: It is established that in the case of genes conferring the ability to utilize the nutrient chondroitin sulfate (CS), microbial species vary in how they temporally regulate these genes and exhibit subtle growth differences on the basis of CS availability and community composition.

Micro Methods for Determination of 3-Ketosucrose and 3-Ketoglucose

TL;DR: In this paper, 3-ketosucrose was determined to have a characteristic absorption spectrum with a molar extinction coefficient of 6.5 × 103 m/1 cm/1 at 340 mμ, while 3-Ketoglucose did not show a significant absorption spectrum within a range from 300 to 400 mμ.

SusE facilitates starch uptake independent of starch binding in B. thetaiotaomicron

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that the assembly of core Sus proteins SusCDE is secondary to their glycan binding roles, but glycanbinding by Sus proteins may fine tune the selection of glycans from the environment.
