It is presently unclear how much individual community members contribute to the overall
metabolic output of a gut microbiota. To address this question, we used the honey bee, which …

Adult honeybees harbor a specialized gut microbiota of relatively low complexity. While
seasonal differences in community composition have been reported, previous studies have …

Here, we report the culture and characterization of an alphaproteobacterium of the order
Rhizobiales, isolated from the gut of the honey bee Apis mellifera. Strain PEB0122 T shares >…

The genus Bartonella comprises facultative intracellular bacteria with a unique lifestyle. After
transmission by blood-sucking arthropods they colonize the erythrocytes of mammalian …

Bacterial symbionts are known to facilitate a wide range of physiological processes and
ecological interactions for their hosts. In spite of this, caterpillars with highly diverse life histories …

The gut of honey bees is colonized by symbiotic bacteria during the first days of adult life,
once bees have emerged from their wax cells. Within five days, the gut microbiota becomes …

Bacterial symbionts are known to facilitate a wide range of physiological processes and
ecological interactions for their hosts. In spite of this, caterpillars with highly diverse life histories …

patients), target fasting glucose of 3.9–7.2 mmol/L, and blood pressure of ≤130/80 mm Hg. …

Shear-wave elastography (SWE) is a novel ultrasound technique for quantifying tissue
elasticity. The aim of this study was to identify differences in atherosclerotic plaque elasticity …
