Transgenerational effects of early life stress on the fecal microbiota in mice

This study shows that early life stress in mice alters fecal microbiota composition, which persists across generations without affecting bacterial metabolites or metabolic pathways.

Stratification of human gut microbiomes by succinotype is associated with inflammatory bowel disease status

The paper identifies two bacterial taxa associated with succinate consumption in the gut microbiome and links their presence to inflammatory bowel disease status.

A flexible high-throughput cultivation protocol to assess the response of individuals' gut microbiota to diet-, drug-, and host-related factors

This paper introduces a high-throughput protocol for cultivating gut microbiota to study responses to diet, drugs, and host factors.

Mapping gut bacteria into functional niches reveals the ecological structure of human gut microbiomes

The paper maps gut bacteria into functional niches to reveal the ecological structure of human gut microbiomes, identifying characteristic taxa associated with specific metabolic functions.

To deliberate, remember; to anticipate, forget: Cognitive deliberation profiles underpinning active forgetting-dependent everyday-like memory performance in young and aged mice.

This study investigates cognitive deliberation and active forgetting in young and aged mice, revealing age-related deficits in anticipation and highlighting the role of the endocannabinoid system in memory processes.

Comparative abundance and diversity of populations of the Pseudomonas syringae and Soft Rot Pectobacteriaceae species complexes throughout the Durance River catchment from its French Alps sources to its delta

The paper examines seasonal dynamics of plant pathogen populations in a river catchment, finding temperature influences on their abundance and suggesting different surveillance strategies for different pathogens.

Co-cultivation is a powerful approach to produce a robust functionally designed synthetic consortium as a live biotherapeutic product (LBP)

This study designs a synthetic microbial consortium through co-cultivation and shows it is as effective as fecal microbiota transplants in treating colitis.

Soil microbes mediate the effects of nitrogen supply and co-inoculation on Barley Yellow Dwarf Virus in Avena sativa

The paper investigates how soil microbes influence the impact of nitrogen supply and co-inoculation on virus infection in barley, finding sub-additive effects and microbial mediation of disease dynamics.

In vitro gut modeling as a tool for adaptive evolutionary engineering of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum

This paper uses an in vitro gut model to evolve Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains adapted to the human colonic environment, identifying beneficial mutations that enhance colonization.

Species-specific enhancement of enterohemorrhagic E. Coli pathogenesis mediated by microbiome metabolites

The paper identifies human gut microbiome metabolites that enhance EHEC pathogenesis in a human colonic organ chip model, contributing to species-specific susceptibility.
