Rapid ordering of barcoded transposon insertion libraries of anaerobic bacteria
Anthony L. Shiver,Rebecca N. Culver,Adam M. Deutschbauer,Adam M. Deutschbauer,Kerwyn Casey Huang +4 more
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.

Oregano Essential Oils Promote Rumen Digestive Ability by Modulating Epithelial Development and Microbiota Composition in Beef Cattle.
Rui Zhang,Jianping Wu,Yu Lei,Yunpeng Bai,Li Jia,Zemin Li,Ting Liu,Yangbin Xu,Jianxiang Sun,Ying Wang,Ke Zhang,Zhaomin Lei +11 more
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
Marina Di Domenico,Andrea Ballini,Mariarosaria Boccellino,Salvatore Scacco,Roberto Lovero,Ioannis Alexandros Charitos,Luigi Santacroce +6 more
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.
Journal ArticleDOI
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.

TL;DR: This work used massively parallel sequencing to monitor the relative abundance of tens of thousands of transposon mutants of a saccharolytic human gut bacterium, Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron, as they established themselves in wild-type and immunodeficient gnotobiotic mice, in the presence or absence of other human gut commensals.
