A two-week high-fiber diet intervention increased gut microbiome diversity and specific fiber-degrading bacteria but did not significantly alter fecal short-chain fatty acid levels.

This study examines how microbial communities in leaf litter adapt to long-term drought through metatranscriptomic and metabolomic analyses in Californian grass and shrub ecosystems.

The paper explores microbial strategies influencing soil carbon cycling under climate change and their implications for carbon stability.

The paper compares ecological results from exact sequence variants and operational taxonomic units in microbial studies, finding similar outcomes for diversity metrics and community composition.
