High-intensity, aerobically prepared fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) has demonstrated efficacy in treating active ulcerative colitis (UC). FMT protocols involving anaerobic stool processing methods may enhance microbial viability and allow with a lower treatment intensity.To assess the of short duration therapy to induce remission UC using anaerobically stool.A total 73 adults mild moderately were enrolled multicenter, randomized, double-blind clinical trial 3 Australian tertiary...
Rumen microbiome biology gets a boost with the release of 410 high-quality reference genomes from Hungate1000 project. Productivity ruminant livestock depends on rumen microbiota, which ferment indigestible plant polysaccharides into nutrients used for growth. Understanding functions carried out by microbiota is important reducing greenhouse gas production ruminants and developing biofuels lignocellulose. We present cultured bacteria archaea, together their genomes, representing every...
The integron/gene cassette system contributes to lateral gene transfer of genetic information in bacterial communities, with cassette-encoded proteins potentially playing an important role adaptation stress. Class 1 integrons are a particularly class as they themselves seem be broadly disseminated among the Proteobacteria and have established spread antibiotic resistance genes. abundance structure freshwater sediment communities was assessed through sampling 30 spatially distinct sites...
There is growing public interest in the use of fiber supplements as a way increasing dietary intake and potentially improving gut microbiota composition digestive health. However, currently there limited research into effects commercially available on microbiota. Here we used an vitro human model system to investigate effect three commercial products; NutriKane™, Benefiber® Psyllium husk (Macro) adult The 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing results showed dramatic fiber-dependent changes...
ABSTRACT Morphologically and biochemically diverse members of the Treponema genus are present in gastrointestinal tract ruminants, yet very little is understood about their functional importance to this microbiome. Here we describe annotated draft genome sequence sp. strain JC4, a novel spirochete isolated from bovine rumen sample.
The draft genome of Methanobacterium sp. Maddingley was reconstructed from metagenomic sequencing a methanogenic microbial consortium enriched coal-seam gas formation water. It is hydrogenotrophic methanogen predicted to grow using hydrogen and carbon dioxide.
Clostridium sp. Maddingley was isolated as an axenic culture from a brown coal-seam formation water sample collected Victoria, Australia. It lacks the solventogenesis genes found in closely related clostridial strains. Metabolic reconstructions suggest that volatile fatty acids are main fermentation end products.
The draft genome sequence of Thermoanaerobacter sp. strain A7A was reconstructed from a metagenome microbial consortium obtained the Tuna oil field in Gippsland Basin, Australia. organism is strict anaerobe that predicted to ferment range simple sugars and undertake sulfur reduction.
The draft genome sequence of Thermotoga maritima A7A was obtained from a metagenomic assembly high-temperature hydrocarbon reservoir in the Gippsland Basin, Australia. organism is predicted to be motile anaerobe with an array catabolic enzymes for degradation numerous carbohydrates.
