Turnbaugh4,14 ✉ Published online: 23 June 2021 Check for updates Diet is a major factor that shapes the gut microbiome1, but the consequences of diet-induced changes in the microbiome for host pathophysiology remain poorly understood. We conducted a randomized human intervention study using a very-low-calorie diet (NCT01105143). Although metabolic health was improved, severe calorie restriction led to a decrease in bacterial abundance and restructuring of the gut microbiome. Transplantation of post-diet microbiota to mice decreased their body weight and adiposity relative to mice that received pre-diet microbiota. Weight loss was associated with impaired nutrient absorption and enrichment in Clostridioides difcile, which was consistent with a decrease in bile acids and was sufcient to replicate metabolic phenotypes in mice in a toxin-dependent manner. These results emphasize the importance of diet–microbiome interactions in modulating host energy balance and the need to understand the role of diet in the interplay between pathogenic and benefcial symbionts.

  • Microbial Diversity in a Full-Scale Anaerobic Reactor Treating High Concentration Organic Cassava Wastewater
    African Journal of Biotechnology Vol. 11(24), pp. 6494-6500, 22 March, 2012 Available online at http://www.academicjournals.org/AJB DOI: 10.5897/AJB11.3142 ISSN 1684–5315 © 2012 Academic Journals Full Length Research Paper Microbial diversity in a full-scale anaerobic reactor treating high concentration organic cassava wastewater Ruifang Gao, Yanzhuan Cao#, Xufeng Yuan, Wanbin Zhu, Xiaofen Wang*, Zongjun Cui. Center of Biomass Engineering / College of Agronomy and Biotechnology, China Agricultural University, Beijing 100193, China. Accepted 7 December, 2011 Microbial characteristics in the up-flow anaerobic sludge blanket reactor (UASB) of a full-scale high concentration cassava alcohol wastewater plant capable of anaerobic hydrocarbon removal were analyzed using cultivation-independent molecular methods. Forty-five bacterial operational taxonomic units (OTUs) and 24 archaeal OTUs were identified by building 16S rRNA gene of bacterial and archaeal clone libraries. Most bacterial OTUs were identified as phyla of Firmicutes (53.3%), Chloroflexi (20.0%), Proteobacteria (11.1%), Bacteroidetes (6.7%) and a candidate division (2.2%). Methanosaeta (57.5%) were the most abundant archaeal group, followed by Methanobacterium (10.6%), Methanomethylovorans (8.5%) and Methanosarcina (6.4%). Most bacterial species take charge of cellulolysis, proteolysis, acidogenesis and homo-acetogenesis; the most methanogens were typical hydrogenotrophic or hydrogenotrophic/aceticlastic. This study revealed a succession of both bacterial and archaeal populations during the trial, which could be linked to operational adaptation of high concentration organic cassava wastewater. Keywords: Full-scale, anaerobic reactor, 16S rRNA gene clone library, microbial diversity, functional analysis. INTRODUCTION Fuel ethanol production from cassava in China has grown mental problems cannot be neglected (Thammanoon rapidly due to the increasing demand for renewable et al., 2010).

Experimental results indicated that the sulfate-removal rate approached 87% in 25 d under the conditions of influent alkalinity of 4000 mg/L (as CaCO3) and sul- fate-loading rate of 4.8 g/(L·d), which indicated that the bioreactor started up successfully. The analy- sis of microbial community structure in this stage showed that Lactococcus sp., Anaerofilum sp. and Kluyvera sp. were dominant populations. It was found that when influent alkalinity reduced to 1000 mg/L, sulfate-removal rate decreased rapidly to 35% in 3 d. Then influent alkalinity was increased to 3000 mg/L, the sulfate-removal rate rose to 55%. Under these conditions, the populations of Dysgo- nomonas sp., Sporobacte sp., Obesumbacterium sp. and Clostridium sp. got to rich, which predomi- nated in the community together with Lactococcus sp., Anaerofilum sp.

  • Sex Differences in Colonization of Gut Microbiota from a Man with Short
    www.nature.com/scientificreports OPEN Sex differences in colonization of gut microbiota from a man with short-term vegetarian and inulin- Received: 28 June 2016 Accepted: 11 October 2016 supplemented diet in germ-free Published: 31 October 2016 mice Jing-jing Wang1, Jing Wang2, Xiao-yan Pang2, Li-ping Zhao2, Ling Tian1,* & Xing-peng Wang1,* Gnotobiotic mouse model is generally used to evaluate the efficacy of gut microbiota. Sex differences of gut microbiota are acknowledged, yet the effect of recipient’s gender on the bacterial colonization remains unclear. Here we inoculated male and female germ-free C57BL/6J mice with fecal bacteria from a man with short-term vegetarian and inulin-supplemented diet. We sequenced bacterial 16S rRNA genes V3-V4 region from donor’s feces and recipient’s colonic content. Shannon diversity index showed female recipients have higher bacteria diversity than males. Weighted UniFrac principal coordinates analysis revealed the overall structures of male recipient’s gut microbiota were significantly separated from those of females, and closer to the donor. Redundancy analysis identified 46 operational taxonomic units (OTUs) differed between the sexes. The relative abundance of 13 OTUs were higher in males, such as Parabacteroides distasonis and Blautia faecis, while 33 OTUs were overrepresented in females, including Clostridium groups and Escherichia fergusonii/Shigella sonnei. Moreover, the interactions of these differential OTUs were sexually distinct. These findings demonstrated that the intestine of male and female mice preferred to accommodate microbiota differently. Therefore, it is necessary to designate the gender of gnotobiotic mice for complete evaluation of modulatory effects of gut microbiota from human feces upon diseases.

Its composition is relatively stable; however, an imbalance can be pre- cipitated by various factors and is known to be associated with various diseases. Humans are daily exposed to ionizing radiation from ambient and medical procedures, and gastrointestinal side effects are not rare. Methods: A systematic search of PubMed, EMBASE, and Cochrane Library databases was conducted. Primary outcomes were changes in composition, richness, and diversity of the gut microbiota after ionizing radiation exposure. Standard methodological procedures expected by Cochrane were used. Results: A total of 2929 nonduplicated records were identified, and based on the inclusion criteria, 11 studies were considered. Studies were heterogeneous, with differences in Citation: Fernandes, A.; Oliveira, A.; population and outcomes.

Microbiome (2016) 4:36 DOI 10.1186/s40168-016-0181-2 RESEARCH Open Access Genomic characterization of the uncultured Bacteroidales family S24-7 inhabiting the guts of homeothermic animals Kate L. Ormerod1, David L. A. Wood1, Nancy Lachner1, Shaan L. Gellatly2, Joshua N. Daly1, Jeremy D. Parsons3, Cristiana G. O. Dal’Molin4, Robin W. Palfreyman4, Lars K. Nielsen4, Matthew A. Cooper5, Mark Morrison6, Philip M. Hansbro2 and Philip Hugenholtz1* Abstract Background: Our view of host-associated microbiota remains incomplete due to the presence of as yet uncultured constituents. The Bacteroidales family S24-7 is a prominent example of one of these groups. Marker gene surveys indicate that members of this family are highly localized to the gastrointestinal tracts of homeothermic animals and are increasingly being recognized as a numerically predominant member of the gut microbiota; however, little is known about the nature of their interactions with the host. Results: Here, we provide the first whole genome exploration of this family, for which we propose the name “Candidatus Homeothermaceae,” using 30 population genomes extracted from fecal samples of four different animal hosts: human, mouse, koala, and guinea pig. We infer the core metabolism of “Ca. Homeothermaceae” to be that of fermentative or nanaerobic bacteria, resembling that of related Bacteroidales families. In addition, we describe three trophic guilds within the family, plant glycan (hemicellulose and pectin), host glycan, and α-glucan, each broadly defined by increased abundance of enzymes involved in the degradation of particular carbohydrates. Conclusions: “Ca. Homeothermaceae” representatives constitute a substantial component of the murine gut microbiota, as well as being present within the human gut, and this study provides important first insights into the nature of their residency.

  • Computational Methods for the Identification and Quantification Of
    Computational methods for the identification and quantification of microbial organisms in metagenomes Dissertation zur Erlangung des Grades eines Doktors der Naturwissenschaften (Dr. rer. nat.) am Fachbereich Mathematik und Informatik der Freien Universit¨atBerlin von Martin Michael Serenus Lindner Berlin August 2014 Betreuer: PD Dr. Bernhard Renard Erstgutachter: PD Dr. Bernhard Renard Zweitgutachter: Jun.-Prof. Dr. Tobias Marschall Tag der Disputation: 15. Oktober 2014 ii Abstract Metagenomics allows analyzing genomic material taken directly from the environ- ment. In contrast to classical genomics, no purification of single organisms is per- formed and therefore the extracted genomic material reflects the composition of the original microbial community. The possible applications of metagenomics are mani- fold and the field has become increasingly popular due to the recent improvements in sequencing technologies. One of the most fundamental challenges in metagenomics is the identification and quantification of organisms in a sample, called taxonomic profiling. In this work, we present approaches to the following current problems in taxo- nomic profiling: First, differentiation between closely related organisms in metage- nomic samples is still challenging. Second, the identification of novel organisms in metagenomic samples poses problems to current taxonomic profiling methods, especially when there is no suitable reference genome available. The contribution of this thesis comprises three major projects. First, we introduce the Genome Abundance Similarity Correction (GASiC) algorithm, a method that allows differentiating between and quantifying highly similar microbial organisms in a metagenomic sample. The method first estimates the similarities between the available reference genomes with a simulation approach. Based on the similarities, GASiC corrects the observed abundances of each reference genome using a non- negative lasso approach.

    Sex- and age-specific variation of gut microbiota in Brandt's voles Xiaoming Xu1,2 and Zhibin Zhang1,2 1 State Key Laboratory of Integrated Management of Pest Insects and Rodents, Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, Beijing, China 2 CAS Center for Excellence in Biotic Interactions, University of Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing, Beijing, China ABSTRACT Background. Gut microbiota plays a key role in the survival and reproduction of wild animals which rely on microbiota to break down plant compounds for nutrients. As compared to laboratory animals, wild animals face much more threat of environmental changes (e.g. food shortages and risk of infection). Therefore, studying the gut microbiota of wild animals can help us better understand the mechanisms animals use to adapt to their environment. Methods. We collected the feces of Brandt's voles in the grassland, of three age groups (juvenile, adult and old), in both sexes. We studied the gut microbiota by 16S rRNA sequencing. Results. The main members of gut microbiota in Brandt's voles were Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes and Proteobacteria. As voles get older, the proportion of Firmicutes increased gradually, and the proportion of Bacteroides decreased gradually. The diversity of the microbiota of juveniles is lower, seems like there is still a lot of space for colonization, and there are large variations in the composition of the microbiome between individuals. In adulthood, the gut microbiota tends to be stable, and the diversity is highest. In adult, the abundances of Christensenellaceae and Peptococcus of female were significantly higher than male voles. Conclusions. The gut microbiota of Brandt's vole was influenced by sex and age, probably due to growth needs and hormone levels.

  • In Search for Interplay Between Stool
    Ambrozkiewicz et al. BMC Gastroenterology (2020) 20:307 https://doi.org/10.1186/s12876-020-01444-3 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access In search for interplay between stool microRNAs, microbiota and short chain fatty acids in Crohn’s disease - a preliminary study Filip Ambrozkiewicz1†, Jakub Karczmarski1†, Maria Kulecka1,2, Agnieszka Paziewska1,2, Magdalena Niemira3, Natalia Zeber-Lubecka2, Edyta Zagorowicz2,4, Adam Kretowski3 and Jerzy Ostrowski1,2* Abstract Background: Inflammatory bowel diseases are classic polygenic disorders, with genetic loads that reflect immunopathological processes in response to the intestinal microbiota. Herein we performed the multiomics analysis by combining the large scale surveys of gut bacterial community, stool microRNA (miRNA) and short chain fatty acid (SCFA) signatures to correlate their association with the activity of Crohn’s disease (CD). Methods: DNA, miRNA, and metabolites were extracted from stool samples of 15 CD patients, eight with active disease and seven in remission, and nine healthy individuals. Microbial, miRNA and SCFA profiles were assessed using datasets from 16S rRNA sequencing, Nanostring miRNA and GC-MS targeted analysis, respectively. Results: Pairwise comparisons showed that 9 and 23 taxa differed between controls and CD patients with active and inactive disease, respectively. Six taxa were common to both comparisons, whereas four taxa differed in CD patients. α-Diversity was lower in both CD groups than in controls. The levels of 13 miRNAs differed (p-value < 0.05; FC > 1.5) in CD patients and controls before FDR correction and 4 after. Of six SCFAs, the levels of two differed significantly (p-value < 0.05, FC > 1.5) in CD patients and controls, and the levels of four differed in patients with active and inactive CD.
