    Missing Links: the Role of Primates in Understanding the Human Microbiome

    The gut microbiome can influence host energy balances and metabolic programming. While this information is valuable in a disease context, it also has important implications for understanding host energetics from an ecological and evolutionary perspective.

    Fucosylated Human Milk Oligosaccharides and N-Glycans in the Milk of Chinese Mothers Regulate the Gut Microbiome of Their Breast-Fed Infants during Different Lactation Stages

    Fucosylated Human Milk Oligosaccharides and N-Glycans in the Milk of Chinese Mothers Regulate the Gut Microbiome of Their Breast-Fed Infants during Different Lactation Stages

    Human milk glycans provide a broad range of carbon sources for gut microbes in infants. Levels of protein glycosylation in human milk vary during lactation and may also be affected by the stages of gestation and lactation and by the secretor status of the mother. This was the first study to evaluate systematically dynamic changes in human milk oligosaccharides and fucosylated N-glycans in the milk of Chinese mothers with different...

    Is Host Filtering the Main Driver of Phylosymbiosis across the Tree of Life?

    Is Host Filtering the Main Driver of Phylosymbiosis across the Tree of Life?

    Phylosymbiosis is a pattern defined as the tendency of closely related species to host microbiota whose compositions resemble each other more than host species drawn at random from the same tree. Understanding the mechanisms behind phylosymbiosis is important because it can shed light on rules governing the assembly of host-associated microbiotas and, potentially, their coevolutionary dynamics with hosts. For example, is phylosymbiosis...

    Asymptomatic Intestinal Colonization with Protist <em>Blastocystis</em> Is Strongly Associated with Distinct Microbiome Ecological Patterns

    Asymptomatic Intestinal Colonization with Protist Blastocystis Is Strongly Associated with Distinct Microbiome Ecological Patterns

    Given the results of our study and other reports of the effects of the most common human gut protist on the diversity and composition of the bacterial microbiome, Blastocystis and, possibly, other gut protists should be studied as ecosystem engineers that drive community diversity and composition.

    Crowdsourcing Our National Gut

    The microbes of the human intestinal tract play a profound role in our health. The complex interactions between our gut microbial communities and the external environment, and the resulting functional consequences, can be difficult to disentangle.

    From Network Analysis to Functional Metabolic Modeling of the Human Gut Microbiota

    An important hallmark of the human gut microbiota is its species diversity and complexity. Various diseases have been associated with a decreased diversity leading to reduced metabolic functionalities.

    Can Diet Influence Our Health by Altering Intestinal Microbiota-Derived Fecal Metabolites?

    Can Diet Influence Our Health by Altering Intestinal Microbiota-Derived Fecal Metabolites?

    The human gastrointestinal tract harbors a diverse, highly mutualistic microbial flora which could produce a myriad of specialized metabolites. These specialized metabolites are the chemical cellphones that gut microflora use to communicate with their human host and could potentially be used to cure diseases.

    Microbial Eukaryotes: a Missing Link in Gut Microbiome Studies

    Human-associated microbial communities include prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms across high-level clades of the tree of life. While advances in high-throughput sequencing technology allow for the study of diverse lineages, the vast majority of studies are limited to bacteria, and very little is known on how eukaryote microbes fit in the overall microbial ecology of the human gut.

    Unraveling Interactions between the Microbiome and the Host Immune System To Decipher Mechanisms of Disease

    In recent years, there has been a deluge of papers linking altered microbiome compositions to a myriad of diseases. Mechanistic insight into microbial drivers of disease phenotypes is essential for translation to novel therapies.

    Functional Changes in the Gut Microbiome Contribute to Transforming Growth Factor β-Deficient Colon Cancer
    Editor's Pick Research Article | Host-Microbe Biology
    Functional Changes in the Gut Microbiome Contribute to Transforming Growth Factor β-Deficient Colon Cancer

    Most research on the gut microbiome in colon cancer focuses on taxonomic changes at the genus level using 16S rRNA gene sequencing. Here, we develop a new methodology to integrate DNA and RNA data sets to examine functional shifts at the species level that are important to tumor development. We uncover several metabolic pathways in the microbiome that, when perturbed by host genetics and H. hepaticus inoculation, contribute to...
