Symbiotic microorganisms inhabiting the gastrointestinal tract promote health by decreasing susceptibility to infection and enhancing resistance to a range of diseases. In this Review, we discuss our increasing understanding of the impact of the microbio
Understanding the impact of antibiotic perturbation on the human microbiome The human gut microbiome is a dynamic collection of bacteria, archaea, fungi, and viruses that performs essential functions for immune development, pathogen colonization resistance, and food metabolism. Pertur... ...

Article Open access 09 March 2022 Introduction The early-life gut microbiome is a simple yet rapidly changing ecosystem crucial for infant development1,2,3. Early-life events, such as feeding, influence the succession of the gut microbiome2,4,5. Breast milk is considered the preferred food sour...
Recently, the relevance of the microbiome to host has been identified as one of the most promising scientific breakthroughs that could have the greatest positive impact on food and agriculture [12]. With respect to the infectious diseases in fish aquaculture, understanding the divergence of the ...
Another difference is the degree of human impact: the higher wetted perimeter of lakes and closer ties with human activities make it a nontrivial factor in shaping freshwater sediment structure. Dam construction, surging in the mid-twentieth century, is considered one of the most far-reaching ...
Microbial invasion is a thriving area in microbial ecology focusing on the introduction, establishment, and impact of alien microorganisms on the resident microbial community [1]. Similar to the invasion of larger organisms, which poses a significant threat to the extinction of resident species and ...
2022, Acta Pharmaceutica Sinica B Citation Excerpt : It has now been widely accepted that BAs, in addition to its solubilizing effects, are signaling molecules impacting both metabolic and immune system through several membrane and nuclear receptors such as G protein-coupled bile acid receptor 1 (...

Indeed, disturbance is considered a major factor influencing species diversity6, but a clear understanding of the underlying mechanisms is lacking8,9. Given the growing human population and its impact on natural and engineered ecosystems10, management and conservation practices are faced with increasing...
