Genomics and omics tools to assess complex microbial communities in silkworms: A paradigm shift towards translational research

TL;DR: In this article, the authors provide an update on the recent technological advances and emerging trends in exploring gut microbial communities in silkworms towards translation research particularly to understand microbiome functions, and their limitations will be addressed.

Response of microorganisms from natural and constructed wetlands to veterinary drugs

TL;DR: In this article, the potential salt marsh plant-microorganisms association for the removal of veterinary antibiotics contamination from both natural and constructed wetlands, showing promising results for its application in the remediation of the environmental impact of these contaminants.

Profiling of complex microbial populations by denaturing gradient gel electrophoresis analysis of polymerase chain reaction-amplified genes coding for 16S rRNA

TL;DR: Analysis of the genomic DNA from a bacterial biofilm grown under aerobic conditions suggests that sulfate-reducing bacteria, despite their anaerobicity, were present in this environment.

Quantitative monitoring of gene expression patterns with a complementary DNA microarray.

TL;DR: A high-capacity system was developed to monitor the expression of many genes in parallel by means of simultaneous, two-color fluorescence hybridization, which enabled detection of rare transcripts in probe mixtures derived from 2 micrograms of total cellular messenger RNA.

Phylogenetic identification and in situ detection of individual microbial cells without cultivation.

TL;DR: Phylogenetic analysis of the retrieved rRNA sequence of an uncultured microorganism reveals its closest culturable relatives and may, together with information on the physicochemical conditions of its natural habitat, facilitate more directed cultivation attempts.

Mass spectrometry-based proteomics

TL;DR: The ability of mass spectrometry to identify and, increasingly, to precisely quantify thousands of proteins from complex samples can be expected to impact broadly on biology and medicine.

Real time quantitative PCR.

TL;DR: Unlike other quantitative PCR methods, real-time PCR does not require post-PCR sample handling, preventing potential PCR product carry-over contamination and resulting in much faster and higher throughput assays.
