Research Article | Molecular Biology and PhysiologyProteomic Study of the Survival and Resuscitation Mechanisms of Filamentous Persisters in an Evolved Escherichia coli Population from Cyclic Ampicillin TreatmentPersisters are a subpopulation of cells with enhanced survival toward antibiotic treatment and have the ability to resume normal growth when the antibiotic stress is lifted. Although proteomics is the most suitable tool to study them from a system-level perspective, the number of persisters that present naturally is too few for proteomics analysis, and thus the complex mechanisms through which they are able to survive antibiotic...
Research Article | Applied and Environmental ScienceImpact of Glyphosate on the Honey Bee Gut Microbiota: Effects of Intensity, Duration, and Timing of ExposureAs is true of many animal species, honey bees depend on their gut microbiota for health. The bee gut microbiota has been shown to regulate the host immune system and to protect against pathogenic diseases, and disruption of the normal microbiota leads to increased mortality. Understanding these effects can give broad insights into vulnerabilities of gut communities, and, in the case of honey bees, could provide information useful for...
Research Article | Host-Microbe BiologyAntibiotic Exposure Has Sex-Dependent Effects on the Gut Microbiota and Metabolism of Short-Chain Fatty Acids and Amino Acids in MiceAccumulating evidence shows that the gut microbiota regulates host metabolism by producing a series of metabolites, such as amino acids, bile acids, fatty acids, and others. These metabolites have a positive or negative effect on host health. Antibiotic exposure can disrupt the gut microbiota and thereby affect host metabolism and physiology. However, there are a limited number of studies addressing whether antibiotic effects on the gut...
