Complexity and Variability of Gut Commensal Microbiota in Polyphagous Lepidopteran Larvae
BACKGROUND The gut of most insects harbours nonpathogenic microorganisms. Recent work suggests that gut microbiota not only provide nutrients, but also involve in the development and maintenance of the host immune system. However, the complexity, dynamics and types of interactions between the insect hosts and their gut microbiota are far from being well understood. METHODS/PRINCIPAL FINDINGS ...
متن کاملCommon Commensal Cancer Viruses
The human microbiome—more properly called the bacteriome—has moved from the backwaters of microbiology to the forefront of clinical science and opened new approaches to diseases, including autoimmune disorders, cancer, and malnutrition. Human virome analyses, however, are at a nascent stage and disadvantaged by the necessity for detecting viruses (without highly conserved consensus sequences su...
متن کاملCommensal ocular bacteria degrade mucins.
BACKGROUND/AIMS Antimicrobial activity in tears prevents infection while maintaining a commensal bacterial population. The relation between mucin and commensal bacteria was assessed to determine whether commensals possess mucinolytic activity, how degradation depends on mucin integrity, and whether mucins affect bacterial replication. METHODS Bacteria were sampled from healthy eyes and contac...
متن کاملFOPEN Capabilities of Commensal Radars
Use of passive or parasitic radars has been an active area of research in recent years. Such radars mostly depend on communication emitters of opportunity. One recent development in the field of communication engineering is the newly adopted standards for whitespace communication which frees the usage of analog TV bands. These bands because of their low-frequency nature, are suitable for foliag...
متن کاملCommensal Microbes: The Frenemy Within
As part of their symbiotic association with humans, intestinal bacteria sometimes need and sometimes lend a helping hand. In this Select, we examine how commensal microorganisms or the inflammation they produce cause undesirable outcomes, such as the development of type 2 diabetes or cancer. In addition, we see how commensal bacteria can receive assistance in colonization from resident phages a...
