Ocean microbial latitudinal diversity gradients Ocean microbial LDG is depth dependent w/surface LDG shaped by a few species-rich taxa. Taxonomic resolution unmasks patterns, revealing structuring of ocean microbiome & foundation for predicting change cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

هذه الدراسة لا تقدم علاجًا جديدًا، لكنها تكشف أن داخل أمعائنا عالمًا مجهولًا ما زال يخفي أسرارًا كثيرة. وربما تأتي اكتشافات البروبيوتيك المستقبلية من ميكروبات لم نتمكن حتى اليوم من استزراعها في المختبر. #الأحياء_الدقيقة #الميكروبيوم #البروبيوتيك #Microbiome #CellHostMicrobe

Weekend read: Gut bacteria metabolize steroid hormones Gut bacterial pathway involving OsrABC reduces natural & synthetic steroid hormones, including prednisolone. This microbial activity is enriched in Crohn’s disease & diminishes drug bioavailability cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…

On the cover: Chutes & Ladders capture microbiome dynamics Bacteria diversify into distinct subpopulations via epigenetic changes. Some are better adapted & “climb ladders,” thriving under stress; others succumb to “chutes” or stressors, e.g. antibiotics cell.com/cell-host-microbe/a…

Bacteria vs phage: new layers in NAD centric arms race aRES is bacterial protein that blocks phage infection by cleaving NAD into ADPR-1P & nicotinamide. Phages counter using NAD reconstitution pathway w/ADPR-1P & nicotinamide as substrates cell.com/cell-host-microbe/a…

NAD to the bone: How bacteria put phages under aRES-t … and how phages fight back Preview of work IDing aRES, bacterial proteins that deplete cellular NAD , generating products that cannot be utilized by phage NAD regeneration pathways cell.com/cell-host-microbe/a…

Antidepressant effects of GLP-1 analogs mediated by microbes Liraglutide reduces depression via GLP-1R-independent, microbiota-dependent mechanism. Liraglutide enriches L. delbrueckii, ⬆️endocannabinoid 2-AG to normalize activity in emotional brain regions cell.com/cell-host-microbe/f…
