Alterations in the gut microbiota and its metabolites contribute to metabolic maladaptation in dairy cows during the development of hyperketonemia

Zhengzhong Luo, Zhenlong Du, Yixin Huang, Tao Zhou et al. • mSystems (2024)

ABSTRACTMetabolic maladaptation in dairy cows after calving can lead to long-term elevation of ketones, such as β-hydroxybutyrate (BHB), representing the condition known as hyperketonemia, which greatly influences the health and production ...

Evaluating stool microbiome integrity after domestic freezer storage using whole-metagenome sequencing, genome assembly, and antimicrobial resistance gene analysis

Paula Momo Cabrera, Nicholas A. Bokulich, Petra Zimmermann • Microbiology Spectrum (2025)

ABSTRACT The gut microbiome is crucial for host health. Early childhood is a critical period for the development of a healthy gut microbiome, but it is particularly sensitive to external influences. Recent research has focused on using adva...

Directional Gaussian Mixture Models of the Gut Microbiome Elucidate Microbial Spatial Structure

Amey P. Pasarkar, Tyler A. Joseph, Itsik Pe’er • mSystems (2021)

ABSTRACT The gut microbiome is spatially heterogeneous, with environmental niches contributing to the distribution and composition of microbial populations. A recently developed mapping technology, MaPS-seq, aims to characterize the spatial...
