Agriculture is facing a major challenge nowadays: to increase crop production for food and energy while preserving ecosystem functioning soil quality. Argentine Pampas one of the main world producers crops adopters conservation agriculture. Changes in chemical physical properties soils due different tillage systems have been deeply studied. Still, not much evidence has reported on effects agricultural practices microbiomes. The aim our study was investigate land use community structure,...
Abstract Root associated bacteria are critical for plant growth and health. Understanding the composition role of root microbiota is crucial toward agricultural practices that less dependent on chemical fertilization, which has known negative effects environment human Here we analyzed root-associated microbiomes soybean wheat under field conditions. We took samples from 11 different production fields across a large geographic area. used 16S rRNA pyrosequencing to explore microbial...
Sourdoughs harbor simple microbial communities usually composed of a few prevailing lactic acid bacteria species (LAB) and yeast species. However, LAB found in sourdough have been described as highly diverse. Even if associations widely documented, the nature interactions between them has poorly described. These define composition structure communities, therefore, characteristics final bread product. In this study, strains two commonly species, Kazachstania humilis Saccharomyces cerevisiae,...
The vaginal microbiota plays an important role in the health of dairy cattle, and it could be manipulated for prevention treatment reproduction-related infections. present study profiles compares healthy heifers during estrous cycle focusing results follicular (estrus) luteal (diestrus) phases using 16S rRNA sequencing V3–V4 hypervariable region. Twenty 13 to 16-month-old virgin from a single farm were included this study. Vaginal swabs blood samples obtained estrus (6-8 h before artificial...
The vaginal microbiota plays a key role in animals’ health. Understanding its diversity and composition associated changes occurring through the reproductive cycle represents valuable knowledge to disclose mechanisms leading dysbiosis eventually infection. Even if human has been thoroughly studied, scarce research conducted on of livestock. In this study, 16S rRNA gene-based sequencing was performed samples ten nulliparous ewes at three different sampling points: before estrus...
Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) dominate human vaginal microbiota and inhibit pathogen proliferation. In other mammals, LAB do not microbiota, however shifts of dominant microorganisms occur during ovarian cycle. The study objectives were to characterize equine in mares by culture-dependent independent methods describe its variation estrus diestrus. Vaginal swabs from 8 healthy adult Arabian obtained For processing, isolated on Columbia blood agar (BA) Man Rogosa Sharpe (MRS) agar. comprised only...
Biodegradable polymers offer a potential solution to marine pollution caused by plastic waste. The biofilms that formed on the surfaces of poly(lactide acid) (PLA) and poly(3-hydroxybutyrate-co-3-hydroxyvalerate) (PHBV) were studied. Bioplastics exposed for 6 months conditions in Mediterranean Sea, their assessed. presence specific PLA PHBV degraders was also showed extensive areas with microbial accumulations this led higher surface densities than (4.75 vs. 5.16 log CFU/cm2). Both polymers'...
Summary Background Girls with obesity and polycystic ovary syndrome (PCOS) women PCOS have altered gut microbiota. Objective To study the microbiota composition of girls without (age, 15.8 years; body mass index [BMI] 25 kg/m 2 ) effects randomized treatments an oral contraceptive (OC, N = 15) or spironolactone‐pioglitazone‐metformin (SPIOMET, for 1 year. Thirty‐one age‐matched served as controls. Methods 16S ribosomal subunit gene amplicon sequencing was performed in stool samples from all...
Abstract Background Soil is among the most diverse and complex environments in world. microorganisms play an essential role biogeochemical cycles affect plant growth crop production. However, our knowledge of relationship between species-assemblies soil ecosystem processes still very limited. The aim this study was to generate a comprehensive metagenomic survey evaluate effect high-input agricultural practices on microbial communities. Results We collected samples from three different areas...
We aimed to analyze the nasopharyngeal microbiota profiles in pregnant women with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection, considered a vulnerable population during COVID-19 pandemic. Pregnant were enrolled from multicenter prospective population-based cohort first wave Spain (March-June 2020 Barcelona, Spain) which status of infection was determined by RT-PCR antibodies peripheral blood. Women randomly selected for this cross-sectional study on microbiota. DNA extracted swab samples, V3-V4 region...
Abstract Thymus autonomy is the capacity of thymus to maintain T lymphocyte development and export independently bone marrow contribution. Prolonging was shown be permissive cell acute lymphoblastic leukemia (T-ALL), similar human disease. In this study, performing transplantation experiments in mice, we report that can occur several experimental conditions, all are T-ALL. We show wild type thymi their function production upon into recipients with genotypes (and corresponding phenotypic...
The aim of this study was to assess the effects agronomic practices on arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal community in soils from Pampa Ondulada region (Argentina), and compare conclusions reached when using pyrosequencing or a morphological approach. AM diversity 3 agricultural exploitations located (Argentina) assessed by 454 amplicon (based spore traits) approaches. Two kinds soil managements are found these sites: non-agronomic. A total 188 molecular operational taxonomic units 29...
The human microbiota is the collection of microorganisms living in or on body. An imbalance dysbiosis these microbial communities can be associated with a wide variety diseases (Petersen and Round, 2014; Pham Lawley, Zaura et al., 2014). Moreover, when same body sites compared between different healthy individuals, specific community features are apparent (Li 2012; Yatsunenko Oh Relman, 2015). In addition, selective pressures found at distinct leading to patterns structure composition...
Abstract Extrinsic black dental staining is an external discoloration of bacterial origin, considered a special form plaque. Currently, there no definitive therapeutic option for eliminating stain. This study employed 16S rRNA metagenomics to analyze stain and white-plaque samples from 27 adult volunteers. Study objectives were to: describe the microbial diversity samples; characterize their taxonomic profile; compare microbiomes versus volunteers propose functional map microbiome using...
Here we present the first dataset based on human microbiota samples of an urban middle-income population in South America. We characterized six different body habitats: palatine tonsils, saliva, buccal mucosa, throat, anterior nares and gut from healthy individual living a metropolitan area Argentina. Our initial findings revealed differences structure composition microbial communities compared to US population. By sharing our data, want actively encourage its reuse for comparison purposes....
Abstract Background: We aimed to characterize the role of nasopharyngeal microbiota in pregnant women with and without SARS-CoV-2 infection. Methods: Pregnant were enrolled from a multicenter prospective population-based cohort (March-June 2020 Barcelona, Spain) which status infection was determined by RT–PCR antibodies peripheral blood. DNA extracted swab samples, V3-V4 region 16S rRNA bacteria amplified using region-specific primers. The differential abundance taxa tested, alpha/beta...
