Drivers of microbiome biodiversity: a review of general rules, feces, and ignorance
AT Reese, RR Dunn - MBio, 2018 - Am Soc Microbiol
The alpha diversity of ecologic communities is affected by many biotic and abiotic drivers
and, in turn, affects ecosystem functioning. Yet, patterns of alpha diversity in host-associated …

Not all animals need a microbiome
It is often taken for granted that all animals host and depend upon a microbiome, yet this has
only been shown for a small proportion of species. We propose that animals span a …

Microbiotas from humans with inflammatory bowel disease alter the balance of gut Th17 and RORγt+ regulatory T cells and exacerbate colitis in mice
Microbiota are thought to influence the development and progression of inflammatory bowel
disease (IBD), but determining generalizable effects of microbiota on IBD etiology requires …

Quantitative PCR provides a simple and accessible method for quantitative microbiota profiling
The use of relative abundance data from next generation sequencing (NGS) can lead to
misinterpretations of microbial community structures, as the increase of one taxon leads to …

Precise quantification of bacterial strains after fecal microbiota transplantation delineates long-term engraftment and explains outcomes
Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been successfully applied to treat recurrent
Clostridium difficile infection in humans, but a precise method to measure which bacterial …

Fecal IgA levels are determined by strain-level differences in Bacteroides ovatus and are modifiable by gut microbiota manipulation
Fecal IgA production depends on colonization by a gut microbiota. However, the bacterial
strains that drive gut IgA production remain largely unknown. Here, we assessed the IgA …

Evolutionary and ecological consequences of gut microbial communities
Animals are distinguished by having guts—organs that must extract nutrients from food yet
also bar invasion by pathogens. Most guts are colonized by nonpathogenic microorganisms …
