16S rRNA gene sequencing is crucial for delving deeper into microbial diversity in ecosystems ranging from soil and water to human-associated microbiomes. However, conventional PCR methods, as used in ...
The landscape of metagenomics and microbiome research is evolving at breakneck speed. As sequencing technologies improve and the demand for high-resolution, bias-free microbial data grows, the ...
This graphical abstract presents a precision medicine-food paradigm for gut health. Left, a metabolite network (acetate, propionate, lactate, bile acids, polyamines) links the microbiota to immune ...
Ensuring pharmaceutical safety and efficacy hinges on rigorous quality control (QC). By identifying potential microbial contaminants early in drug development and production, microbial QC tests ...
Researchers have launched the first coordinated plan to protect microbial biodiversity, calling attention to the “invisible 99% of life” that drives essential Earth systems. The IUCN has formally ...
Scientists have uncovered microbial DNA preserved in mammoth remains dating back more than one million years, revealing the oldest host-associated microbial DNA ever recovered. By sequencing nearly ...
The gut microbiome, a complex ecosystem of microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract, plays a crucial role in ...
Syngas biomethanation—converting CO/CO₂/H₂ into renewable methane—relies on coordinated microbial interactions. This study reveals that excess ...
