The gut microbiota contributes to host physiology through the production of a myriad of
metabolites. These metabolites exert their effects within the host as signalling molecules and …

The development of high‐throughput sequencing (HTS) technologies has greatly improved
our capacity to identify fungi and unveil their ecological roles across a variety of ecosystems …

Short-read, high-throughput sequencing (HTS) methods have yielded numerous important
insights into microbial ecology and function. Yet, in many instances short-read HTS …

Despite recent advances in sequencing and culturing, a deep knowledge of the wiring and
functioning of the human gut ecosystem and its microbiota as a community is still missing. A …

Abstract Knowledge of the functional roles and interspecies interactions are crucial for
improving our understanding of the human intestinal microbiome in health and disease …

Marine invertebrates often host diverse microbial communities, making it difficult to identify
important symbionts and to understand how these communities are structured. This …

Microorganisms in natural environments are crucial in maintaining the material and energy
cycle and the ecological balance of the environment. However, it is challenging to delineate …

Stable isotope labeling of microbial taxa of interest and their sorting provide an efficient and
direct way to answer the question “who does what?” in complex microbial communities …

Conspectus As a newly discovered organ, gut microbiota has been extensively studied in
the last two decades, with their highly diverse and fundamental roles in the physiology of …

We report that the cellular uptake of stable isotope-labeled compounds by bacteria can be
probed at the single-cell level using infrared spectroscopy, and this monitors the chemical …
