Butyrate, a key metabolite fermented by gut microbiota mainly from undigested carbohydrates such as dietary fibers is widely used feed additive. However, mechanisms of its contributions in maintaining host health are relatively poorly revealed. The aim this study was to investigate how butyrate impacts and immunity response high-fat diet-fed mice. Gut microbial analysis exhibited that intervention increased short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs)-producing bacteria decreased pathogenic bacteria,...
The study aimed to analyze the global influences of dietary inulin with different degrees polymerization (DP) on intestinal microbial communities. Six-week-old male C57BL/6J mice were treated fructo-oligosaccharides and for 6 weeks. Fecal samples obtained at time point 0 6th week. 16S rRNA sequence analysis was used measure microbiota performed Illumina MiSeq platform. Influences more complex effects than bifidogenic effects, relative abundance butyrate-producing bacteria increased after...
Abstract Gut microbiota have strong connections with health. Lactulose has been shown to regulate gut and benefit host In this study, the effect of short‐term (3 week) intervention lactulose on was investigated. were detected from mouse feces by 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing, short chain fatty acids ( SCFA s) gas chromatography‐mass spectrometry GC ‐ MS ). enhanced α‐diversity microbiota; increased abundance hydrogen‐producing bacteria Prevotellaceae Rikenellaceae, probiotics...
Abstract The health‐promoting effects of phycocyanin (PC) have become widely accepted over the last two decades. In this study, we investigated different doses PC in modulating intestinal microbiota and barrier mice. Six‐week‐old male C57BL/6 mice were treated with for 28 days. Fecal samples collected before after intervention, analyzed by 16S rRNA high‐throughput sequencing. Bacterial abundance diversity increased intervention. Saccharolytic bacteria families Lachnospiraceae...
Abstract Temperate phages (active prophages induced from bacteria) help control pathogenicity, modulate community structure, and maintain gut homeostasis. Complete phage genome sequences are indispensable for understanding biology. Traditional plaque techniques inapplicable to temperate due their lysogenicity, curbing identification characterization. Existing bioinformatics tools prophage prediction usually fail detect accurate complete genomes. This study proposes a novel computational...
ABSTRACT We present the results of photometric and spectroscopic monitoring campaigns changing look AGN NGC 2617 carried out from 2016 until 2022 covering wavelength range X-ray to near-IR. The facilities included telescopes SAI MSU, MASTER Global Robotic Net, 2.3-m WIRO telescope, Swift, others. found significant variability at all wavelengths and, specifically, in intensities profiles broad Balmer lines. measured time delays ∼6 d (∼8 d) responses Hβ (Hα) line continuum variations....
Abstract We present the results of a new X-ray to near-IR photometric and spectroscopic monitoring changing look AGN NGC 2617 carried out from March 2022 2024. found significant variability at all wavelengths in intensities profiles broad Balmer lines. Reverberation mapping was for three observing seasons during 2021-2024. obtained time delays ∼4 d response Hβ line optical continuum variations. The variations correlate well with UV optical, few days lag longer wavelengths. K band lagged B by...

Complete phage genome sequences are indispensable for understanding biology. Traditional plaque techniques inapplicable to temperate due the lysogenicity of these phages, which curb identification characterization phages. Existing in silico tools prophage prediction usually fail detect accurate complete genomes 2–5 In this study, by a novel...
