The cervical microbiota of Hispanics living in Puerto Rico is highly volatile and dominated by L. iners regardless of HPV status

The study examines the cervical microbiota of Hispanic women in Puerto Rico, finding it dominated by L. iners regardless of HPV status, with no significant microbiota-HPV associations.

Gut microbiota and fecal short chain fatty acids differ with adiposity and country of origin: The METS-Microbiome Study

This study examines how gut microbiota, short chain fatty acids (SCFAs), and obesity vary by country of origin and adiposity in a large African-origin cohort, finding significant differences in microbial composition and SCFA levels across populations.

Host and Water Microbiota are Differentially Linked to Potential Human Pathogen Accumulation in Oysters

This study links microbial communities in water and oysters to the accumulation of potential human pathogens, finding that specific microbial taxa in oysters and water are associated with increased Vibrio parahaemolyticus.

Microbiome response in an urban river system is dominated by seasonality over wastewater treatment upgrades

This study examines the impact of wastewater treatment upgrades on the microbiome of an urban river system over seven years, finding that seasonality, not the upgrades, dominated microbial community dynamics.

Synchrony and idiosyncrasy in the gut microbiome of wild baboons

This study examines gut microbiome dynamics in wild baboons, finding that microbial dynamics are largely idiosyncratic despite shared environments, with host-specific factors explaining most variation.

Manner of death and demographic effects on microbial community composition in organs of the human cadaver

This study examines how manner of death and demographic factors influence microbial community composition in human cadaver organs using 16S rRNA sequencing.

Microbial Similarity between Students in a Common Dormitory Environment Reveals the Forensic Potential of Individual Microbial Signatures

The paper investigates microbial signatures in a dormitory environment, finding that individual microbial signatures can be distinguished using MED clustering and revealing distinct transmission patterns through hand and shoe-associated samples.

The human microbiota is associated with cardiometabolic risk across the epidemiologic transition

This study identifies associations between gut and oral microbiota diversity and cardiometabolic risk factors in African-origin adults across multiple geographic regions.

Microbial and Metabolic Succession on Common Building Materials Under High Humidity Conditions

This study investigates microbial and metabolic succession on building materials under high humidity, finding that wetting and material type significantly influence microbial communities and metabolite profiles.

Gut microbial features can predict host phenotype response to protein deficiency

The paper investigates how gut microbiota differences predict nitrogen balance and growth responses to protein deficiency in mice.

American Gut: an Open Platform for Citizen-Science Microbiome Research

The paper uses citizen-science data to analyze human stool microbiomes, revealing new insights into microbial diversity, metabolome composition, and associations with diet and health.

Metabolic and spatio-taxonomic response of uncultivated seafloor bacteria following the Deepwater Horizon oil spill

The paper examines the metabolic and taxonomic responses of uncultivated seafloor bacteria after the Deepwater Horizon oil spill, identifying genes and expression patterns related to hydrocarbon degradation.
