Predictive functional profiling of microbial communities using 16S rRNA marker gene sequences

Linking Long-Term Dietary Patterns with Gut Microbial Enterotypes

The basic composition of the human gut microbiome is influenced by long-term diet: high fat and protein versus high fiber.

Diet Drives Convergence in Gut Microbiome Functions Across Mammalian Phylogeny and Within Humans

The normal range of physiological and metabolic phenotypes has been shaped by coevolution with microbial symbionts.

Phylogenetic stratigraphy in the Guerrero Negro hypersaline microbial mat

Abstract The microbial mats of Guerrero Negro (GN), Baja California Sur, Mexico historically were considered a simple environment, dominated by cyanobacteria and sulfate-reducin...

Direct sequencing of the human microbiome readily reveals community differences

Culture-independent studies of human microbiota by direct genomic sequencing reveal quite distinct differences among communities, indicating that improved sequencing capacity ca...
