Poison acidified crops sanitize food and limit disease transmission while at the same time structuring the gut microbiota and thus contribute to the ecological and evolutionary success of formicine ants.

Overgrowth of the yeast Pichia kudriavzevii within the neonatal gut microbiota increases allergic airway disease severity later in life and may be inhibited by short-chain fatty acids.

In zombie fruit flies, Entomophthora muscae-elicited summiting behavior is mediated by blood-borne factors and the host circadian-neurosecretory network.

The bioBakery 3 platform enables improved, integrated, and strain-level analysis of microbial communities from large-scale meta-omic data.

In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, stem cell activity ages female guts but not male guts; furthermore, males with feminized guts develop pathologies but gain an increase in lifespan through dietary restriction.

Rapid yet comprehensive, genome-resolved analysis of fecal samples from premature infants reveals little overlap in strain composition of gut microbial communities, despite co-hospitalization, and suggests the existence of barriers to strain dispersal.

SDH-null cancer cells decrease mitochondrial complex I to drive rewired aspartate synthesis through reductive carboxylation and pyruvate carboxylase, supporting cell proliferation and tumor growth.

Mobility across ecological contexts and continents is more important to describe the worldwide spread of bacterial resistance to aminoglycosides (a family of antibiotics), than the consumption of aminoglycosides itself.

The bacterial AAA+ chaperone ClpL recognizes aggregated proteins via multiple contacts of its unique N-terminal domain and refolds them with high efficiency providing superior heat resistance.
