The guts of insects harbor symbiotic bacterial communities. However, due to their complexity, it is challenging relate a specific phylotype its corresponding function. In the present study, we focused on forest cockchafer (Melolontha hippocastani), phytophagous insect with dual life cycle, consisting root-feeding larval stage and leaf-feeding adult stage. By combining in vivo stable isotope probing 13C cellulose 15N urea as trophic links, Illumina MiSeq (Illumina-SIP), unraveled networks...
A characterization of the bacterial community hindgut wall two larval and adult stages forest cockchafer (Melolontha hippocastani) was carried out using amplicon sequencing 16S rRNA gene fragment. We found that, in second-instar larvae, Caulobacteraceae Pseudomonadaceae showed highest relative abundances, while third-instar dominant families were Porphyromonadaceae Bacteroidales-related. In adults, an increase abundance Bacteroidetes, Proteobacteria (γ- δ- classes) family Enterococcaceae...
Antibiotics are commonly used in the Intensive Care Unit (ICU); however, several studies showed that impact of antibiotics to prevent infection, multi-organ failure, and death ICU is less clear than their benefit on course infection absence organ dysfunction. We characterized here compositional metabolic changes gut microbiome induced by critical illness a cohort 75 individuals conjunction with 2,180 samples representing 16 different diseases. revealed an "infection-vulnerable" environment...

Abstract In this study, the metatranscriptome of newly-discovered structures attached at distal end hindgut larvae a coleopteran ( Melolontha hippocastani ), is compared with that surrounding wall. Larvae were collected in their natural habitat, RNA was extracted using commercial kit and sequenced Illumina HiSeq2500 platform. 250 bp paired-end reads used to de novo assemble transcriptomes. Contig annotation carried out BLASTx Blast2GO PRO differential expression analysis performed edgeR....
