Longitudinal phage–bacteria dynamics in the early life gut microbiome
Microbial colonization of the human gut occurs soon after birth, proceeds through well-studied phases and is affected by lifestyle and other factor…
Gut microbiota-derived hexa-acylated lipopolysaccharides enhance cancer immunotherapy responses
The gut microbiome modulates immunotherapy treatment responses, and this may explain why immune checkpoint inhibitors, such as anti-PD-1, are only …
Genomic and transcriptomic insights into complex virus–prokaryote interactions in marine biofilms
Marine biofilms are complex communities of microorganisms that play a crucial ecological role in oceans. Although prokaryotes are the dominant memb…
Amino acid auxotrophies in human gut bacteria are linked to higher microbiome diversity and long-term stability
Amino acid auxotrophies are prevalent among bacteria. They can govern ecological dynamics in microbial communities and indicate metabolic cross-fee…
Ginsenoside Rg3 enriches SCFA-producing commensal bacteria to confer protection against enteric viral infection via the cGAS-STING-type I IFN axis
The microbiota-associated factors that influence host susceptibility and immunity to enteric viral infections remain poorly defined. We identified …
Request for public discussion and ballot to amend SeqCode rules on priority of Candidatus names and correction of typographic and orthographic errors
Introduction The Code of Nomenclature of Prokaryotes Described from Sequence Data, or SeqCode, is a new code of nomenclature in which genome sequences are the…
