nearly all mucosal surfaces, and interest is growing in understanding how these organisms …

Fungal communities associated with plants and soil influence plant fitness and ecosystem
functioning. They are frequently studied by metabarcoding approaches targeting the …

The term “microbiota” invokes images of mucosal surfaces densely populated with bacteria.
These surfaces and the luminal compartments they form indeed predominantly harbor …

Human-associated archaea remain understudied in the field of microbiome research,
although in particular methanogenic archaea were found to be regular commensals of the …

Human gut is home to a diverse and complex microbial ecosystem encompassing bacteria,
viruses, parasites, fungi, and other microorganisms that have an undisputable role in …

Microbiome research has transformed the scientific landscape, as reflected by the
exponential increase in microbiome-related publications from many different disciplines …

Our understanding of human gut microbiota in health and disease depends on accurate and
