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.

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.

Recognition and degradation of plant cell wall polysaccharides by two human gut symbionts.

TL;DR: Competition for nutrients contained in diverse types of plant cell wall-associated polysaccharides may explain the evolution of substrate-specific catabolic gene modules in common bacterial members of the human gut microbiota.

Phenotypic Landscape of a Bacterial Cell

TL;DR: This work shows that combining large-scale chemical genomics with quantitative fitness measurements provides a high-quality data set rich in discovery, and highlights new information derived from the study, including insights into a gene involved in multiple antibiotic resistance and the synergy between a broadly used combinatory antibiotic therapy, trimethoprim and sulfonamides.

Identifying Genetic Determinants Needed to Establish a Human Gut Symbiont in Its Habitat

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.
