Abstract Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has been successfully applied to treat recurrent Clostridium difficile infection in humans, but a precise method measure which bacterial strains stably engraft recipients and evaluate their association with clinical outcomes is lacking.

Abstract The human microbiome is an integral component of the body and a co-determinant several health conditions 1,2 . However, extent to which interpersonal relations shape individual genetic makeup its transmission within across populations remains largely unknown 3,4 Here, capitalizing on more than 9,700 metagenomes computational strain-level profiling, we detected extensive bacterial strain sharing individuals (more 10 million instances) with distinct mother-to-infant, intra-household intra-population patterns. Mother-to-infant gut was considerable stable during infancy (around 50% same strains among shared species (strain-sharing rate)) remained detectable at older ages. By contrast, oral occurred horizontally enhanced by duration cohabitation. There substantial cohabiting individuals, 12% 32% median strain-sharing rates for microbiomes, time since cohabitation affected age or genetics did.

Despite numerous surveys of gene and species content in heterotrophic microbial communities, such as those found animal guts, oceans, or soils, it is still unclear whether there are generalizable biological ecological processes that control their dynamics function. Here, we review experimental theoretical advances to argue networks trophic interactions, which the metabolic excretions one primary resource for another, constitute central drivers community assembly. Trophic interactions emerge from deconstruction complex forms organic matter into a wealth smaller intermediates, some released environment serve nutritional buffet community. The structure emergent network rate at resources supplied many features assembly, including relative contributions competition cooperation emergence alternative states. Viewing assembly through lens also has important implications spatial communities well functional redundancy taxonomic groups. Given ubiquity across environments, they impart common logic can enable development more quantitative predictive ecology.

Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) is highly effective against recurrent Clostridioides difficile infection and considered a promising treatment for other microbiome-related disorders, but comprehensive understanding of microbial engraftment dynamics lacking, which prevents informed applications this therapeutic approach. Here, we performed an integrated shotgun metagenomic systematic meta-analysis new publicly available stool microbiomes collected from 226 triads donors, pre-FMT recipients post-FMT across eight different disease types. By leveraging improved strain-profiling to infer strain sharing, found that with higher donor were more likely experience clinical success after FMT (P = 0.017) when evaluated studies. Considering all cohorts, increased was noted in individuals receiving multiple routes (for example, both via capsules colonoscopy during the same treatment) as well antibiotic-treated infectious diseases compared antibiotic-naïve patients noncommunicable diseases.

Abstract Recent studies have demonstrated that drought leads to dramatic, highly conserved shifts in the root microbiome. At present, molecular mechanisms underlying these responses remain largely uncharacterized. Here we employ genome-resolved metagenomics and comparative genomics demonstrate carbohydrate secondary metabolite transport functionalities are overrepresented within drought-enriched taxa. These data also reveal bacterial iron metabolism functionality is correlated with enrichment. Using time-series RNA-Seq data, homeostasis impacted by stress, loss of a plant phytosiderophore transporter impacts microbial community composition, leading significant increases lineage, Actinobacteria. Finally, show exogenous application disrupts drought-induced enrichment Actinobacteria, as well their improvement host phenotype during stress. Collectively, our findings implicate microbiome’s response may inform efforts improve tolerance increase food security.

Abstract Genomes are critical units in microbiology, yet ascertaining quality prokaryotic genome assemblies remains a formidable challenge. We present GUNC (the Genome UNClutterer), tool that accurately detects and quantifies chimerism based on the lineage homogeneity of individual contigs using genome’s full complement genes. complements existing approaches by targeting previously underdetected types contamination: we conservatively estimate 5.7% genomes GenBank, 5.2% RefSeq, 15–30% pre-filtered “high-quality” metagenome-assembled recent studies undetected chimeras. provides fast robust to substantially improve quality.
