Atherosclerosis remains the leading cause of death worldwide. Lifestyle modification,
including diet and exercise, is recommended to be the primary prevention strategy for …

Bacteria produce an array of diverse, dynamic and often complex lipid structures, some of
which function beyond their typical role in membrane structure. The model organism, E. coli …

There has been increasing interest in bacterial lipids in recent years due, in part, to their
emerging role as molecular signalling molecules. Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron is an …

Porphyromonas gingivalis, like other members of the phylum Bacteroidetes (synonym
Bacteroidota), synthesizes several classes of dihydroceramides and peptidolipids. Using a …

The anaerobic bacteria of the Bacteroides fragilis group including Bacteroides
thetaiotaomicron, B. fragilis, Bacteroides vulgatus, and Bacteroides ovatus in genus …

Microbial lipids provide signals that are responsible for maintaining host health and
controlling disease. The differences in the structures of microbial lipids have been shown to …

Lipidomics analyses of bacteria offer the potential to detect and monitor infections in a host
since many bacterial lipids are not present in mammals. To evaluate this omics approach …

The extent to which bacterial lipids produced by the gut microbiota penetrate host tissues is
unclear. Here, we combined mass spectrometry approaches to identify lipids produced by …

Background This study unveils the intricate functional association between cyclic di-3', 5'-
adenylic acid (c-di-AMP) signaling, cellular bioenergetics, and the regulation of …

Porphyromonas gingivalis produces five classes of serine/glycine lipids that are recovered
in lipid extracts from periodontitis‐afflicted teeth and diseased gingival tissues, particularly at …
