This study identified a metabolic pathway in members of the gut microbiota, which uses aromatic amino acids to produce small molecules with systemic effects.
This study reports that commensal enteric fungi provide protection against infection in local intestinal and non-intestinal systemic tissues and enhance systemic immunity.
Bacterial predation byAcinetobacter baylyi increases the rate of horizontal gene transfer from Escherichia coli, which leads to the acquisition of antibiotic resistance genes from prey cells.
This study identifies the environmental factors that are associated with changes in bacterial secondary metabolism across natural environments on a metagenome-wide scale.
This issue marks the 40th anniversary of the publication of the landmark article by Carl Woese and George Fox in which they proposed the Archaea as a third domain of life.
This month's Genome Watch highlights the variation in gut microbiota across different human communities and explores how this is associated with lifestyle and diet.
A recent study revealed howH. pyloriopens cell-to-cell junctions and traverses the gastric epithelium to bind to basolateral integrins, thereby activating the assembly and function of its type IV secretion system.
