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 …

The human gut is a complex environment that contains a multitude of microorganisms that
are collectively termed the microbiome. Multiple factors have a role to play in driving the …

Human blood is conventionally considered sterile but recent studies suggest the presence of
a blood microbiome in healthy individuals. Here we characterized the DNA signatures of …

Microbes compose most of the biomass on the planet, yet the majority of taxa remain
uncharacterized. These unknown microbes, often referred to as “microbial dark matter,” …

Background Human gut microbial communities have been known to produce vitamins,
which are subsequently absorbed by the host in the large intestine. However, the …
