Abstract The Clostridia is a dominant bacterial class in the guts of various animals and are considered to nutritionally contribute animal host. Here, we discovered clostridial endosymbionts cellulolytic protists termite guts, which have never been reported with evidence. We obtained (near-)complete genome sequences three endosymbiotic Clostridia, each associated different parabasalid protist species infection rates: Trichonympha agilis, Pseudotrichonympha grassii, Devescovina sp. All these...

The fidelity of vertical transmission is a critical factor in maintaining mutualistic associations with microorganisms. obligate mutualism between termites and intestinal protist communities has been maintained for over 130 million years, suggesting the faithful diverse species across host generations. Although severe bottleneck can occur when alates disperse gut protists, how are during this process remains largely unknown. In study, we examined dynamics adult eclosion alate dispersal...

Background.Insulin resistance is a risk factor for sarcopenia.The triglycerides (TG)/high-density lipoprotein cholesterol (HDL-C) ratio an indirect indicator of insulin resistance.We aimed to assess the association between sarcopenia and TG/HDL-C in Japanese older adults.Methods: Older adults Wakasa town, Fukui, Japan, were examined June 2019 November 2021.We collected data regarding age, sex, height, weight, body mass index, muscle mass, fat ratio, appendicular lean skeletal glycated...
