In this review, we assess our current understanding of the role of bacteriophages infecting
the human gut bacterial community in health and disease. In general, bacteriophages …

The human body is home to a diverse and functionally important assemblage of symbiotic
microbes that varies predictably over different spatial scales, both within and across body …

In bacteria a metal may be defined as bioavailable if it crosses the cytoplasmic membrane to
reach the cytoplasm. Once inside the cell, specific metal resistance systems may be …

As important mediators of numerous ecological processes, soil microorganisms play
essential roles in the recovery of ecosystems after disturbance. Using next-generation …

The aim of the study was to understand the effect of a long‐term metal exposure (110 years)
on sediment microbial communities. Two freshwater sites, F érin and M etal E urop, differing …

Background The intestinal microbiome is a complex community and its role in influencing
human health is poorly understood. While conventional microbiology commonly attributes …

Microbial communities are accompanied by a diverse array of viruses. Through infections of
abundant microbes, these viruses have the potential to mediate competition within the …

Phages, the most abundant species in the mammalian gut, have numerous advantages as
biocontrol agent over antibiotics. In this study, mice were orally treated with the lytic gut …

The natural mummification process of the human gut represents a unique opportunity to
study the resulting microbial community structure and composition. While results are …

Background and Objectives: The gut microbiota is associated with human health and dietary
nutrition. Various studies have been reported in this regard, but it is difficult to clearly …
