Background In the last 5 years, the rapid pace of innovations and improvements in sequencing
technologies has completely changed the landscape of metagenomic and metagenetic …

OBJECTIVES: Exploring associations between the gut microbiota and colonic inflammation
and assessing sequential changes during exclusive enteral nutrition (EEN) may offer clues …

We report metagenomic evidence for the presence of a Nitrospira-like organism with the
metabolic potential to perform the complete oxidation of ammonia to nitrate (ie, it is a complete …

Understanding microbial ecology through amplifying short read regions, typically 16S rRNA
for prokaryotic species or 18S rRNA for eukaryotic species, remains a popular, economical …

Background Amplicon sequencing methods targeting the 16S rRNA gene have been used
extensively to investigate microbial community composition and dynamics in anaerobic …

Anaerobic digestion of high-salinity wastewaters often results in process inhibition due to the
susceptibility of the methanogenic archaea. The ability of the microbial community to deal …

Improving the rate and extent of faecal decomposition in basic forms of sanitation such as
pit latrines would benefit around 1.7 billion users worldwide, but to do so requires a major …

Chickens are a key food source for humans yet their microbiome contains bacteria that can
be pathogenic to humans, and indeed potentially to chickens themselves. Campylobacter is …

Background The effect that traditional and modern DNA extraction methods have on
applications to study the role of gut microbiota in health and disease is a topic of current interest. …

In this study, the biokinetics of autotrophic denitrification with biogenic S 0 (ADBIOS) for the
treatment of nitrogen pollution in wastewaters were investigated. The used biogenic S 0 , a by…
