Human gut microbiome

Associations Between Gut Microbiome and 24-Hour Blood Pressure Variability: A Cross-sectional Study Highlighting Sex Differences and Potential Therapeutic Targets – Preeti Dinesh Virwani – bioRxiv

Infant gut microbiota in multi-child families converges with adults without a sibling-specific signature – Eveliina Hanski – bioRxiv 

Shaping the future of probiotics, live biotherapeutic products, and fecal microbiota transplantation: 30 scientific recommendations from the CHINAGUT Conference – Weihong Wang – iMeta 

A widespread hydrogenase supports fermentative growth of gut bacteria in healthy people – Caitlin Welsh – Nature Miicrobiology

Long-read metagenomics for strain tracking after faecal microbiota transplant – Yu Fan – Nature Microbiology

Excited to share our LongTrack study out in @natmicrobiol.nature.com today! Fecal microbiota transplant (FMT), donor 💩 => patients' gut, is an effective treatment for recurrent C. difficile infection & is being evaluated for Inflammatory Bowel Diseases (IBD) & other conditions 1/📄 rdcu.be/eL8mR

Animal microbiome

Temporal establishment of the colon microbiota in Angus calves from birth to post-weaning – Michelle M. Stafford – PlosOne

Viruses and phages

Plant, root and soil microbiome

Host species and geographic location shape microbial diversity and functional potential in the conifer needle microbiome
– Robert M. Bowers – Microbiome

Soil bacterial, fungal, and protistan assembly processes across a 1300 km climate and land-use transect – Mingming Du – Catena 

Are you curious about the whether soil microbial distribution is predictable?🤔 The key takeaway:Bacteria 🦠→ predictable! 😊 Fungi & Protists 🍄💧 → harder to predict 😭 #SoilEcology #Microbiome #CommunityAssembly #SoilScience #Microbeswww.sciencedirect.com/science/arti…
