Covering: up to 2021Metagenomics has yielded massive amounts of sequencing data offering a glimpse into the biosynthetic potential uncultivated microbial majority. While genome-resolved information about communities from nearly every environment on earth is now available, ability accurately predict biocatalytic functions directly remains challenging. Compared primary metabolic pathways, enzymes involved in secondary metabolism often catalyze specialized reactions with diverse substrates, making these pathways rich resources for discovery new enzymology. To date, functional insights gained studies environmental DNA (eDNA) have largely relied PCR- or activity-based screening eDNA fragments cloned fosmid cosmid libraries. As an alternative, shotgun metagenomics holds underexplored by avoiding common biases introduced through activity-guided workflows. However, inferring enzyme similar searching 'needle haystack' without direct links between genotype and phenotype.

Abstract Fermented foods and alcoholic beverages have long been an important part of the human diet in nearly every culture on continent. These are often well‐preserved serve as stable significant sources proteins, vitamins, minerals, other nutrients. Despite these common features, however, many differences exist with respect to substrates products types microbes involved manufacture fermented produced globally. In this review, we describe consider influence geography industrialization manufacture. Whereas Europe, North America, Australia, New Zealand usually depend defined starter cultures, those made Asia Africa rely spontaneous fermentation. Likewise, developing countries, not commercially industrial scale. Although autochthonous present raw material, for products, introduction technology has led greater consistency, safety, quality. The diversity function a wide range can now be examined detail using molecular omic approaches. nutritional value is well‐appreciated, especially resource‐poor regions where yoghurt improve public health provide opportunities economic development. Manufacturers foods, whether small or large, should follow Good Manufacturing Practices sustainable development goals. Ultimately, preferences dietary habits consumers, well regional agricultural conditions availability resources.

Abstract Recent studies have provided an unprecedented view of the microbial communities colonizing captive mice; yet host and environmental factors that shape rodent gut microbiota in their natural habitat remain largely unexplored. Here, we present results from a 2-year 16 S ribosomal RNA gene sequencing-based survey wild wood mice (Apodemus sylvaticus) two nearby woodlands. Similar to other mammals, were colonized by 10 bacterial phyla dominated Firmicutes, Bacteroidetes Proteobacteria. Within Lactobacillus genus was most abundant. Putative pathogens widespread often abundant members mouse microbiota. Among suite extrinsic (environmental) intrinsic (host-related) examined, seasonal changes driving qualitative quantitative differences In both years observed strong shift community structure, potentially due transition insect- seed-based diet. This involved decreased levels Lactobacillus, increased Alistipes (Bacteroidetes phylum) Helicobacter. We also detected more subtle but statistically significant associations between biogeography, sex, reproductive status co-colonization with enteric nematodes. These suggest major role shaping temporal variations structure within populations.

The global bio-diversity of fungi has been extensively investigated and their species number estimated. Notably, the development molecular phylogeny revealed an unexpected fungal diversity utilisation culture-independent approaches including high-throughput amplicon sequencing dramatically increased operational taxonomic units. A novel taxa new divisions, classes, orders families have established in last decade. Many cryptic were identified by phylogeny. Based on recently generated data from culture-dependent -independent survey same samples, earth estimated to be 12 (11.7–13.2) million compared 2.2–3.8 a variety estimation techniques. Moreover, it speculated that current use techniques would reveal even higher than our estimation. Recently, formal classification environmental sequences permission DNA sequence as names' type proposed but strongly objected mycologist community. Surveys unusual niches indicated many previously regarded "unculturable fungi" could cultured certain substrates under specific conditions. sequencing, shotgun metagenomics single-cell genomics powerful means detect taxa.

Kefir is a putatively health-promoting dairy beverage that produced when kefir grain, consisting of consortium microorganisms, added to milk initiate natural fermentation. Here, detailed analysis was carried out determine how the microbial population, gene content, and flavor three kefirs from distinct geographic locations change over course 24-h fermentations. Metagenomic sequencing revealed Lactobacillus kefiranofaciens dominant bacterial species in during early stages fermentations but Leuconostoc mesenteroides became more prevalent later stages. This pattern consistent with an observation genes involved aromatic amino acid biosynthesis were absent L. present mesenteroides. Additionally, these shifts community structure, associated pathways, corresponded changes levels volatile compounds. Specifically, Acetobacter spp. correlated acetic acid; carboxylic acids, esters ketones; 2,3-butanedione; Saccharomyces esters. The correlation data suggest causal relationship between taxa supported by observations addition NCFB 2797 increased ketones whereas 213M0 2,3-butanedione. Finally, we detected probiotic functionalities microbiome.
