Coevolution of symbiotic systems of termites and their gut microorganisms
Coevolution of the symbiotic systems of termites is investigated by comparing the phylogeny of the gut microorganisms among diverse termites. Some major constituents of the gut community, such as Treponema-like spirochetes and the Bacteroides group, showed complex evolutionary history due to their multiple phylogenetic positions. Groups of methanogenic archaea in the guts are distinct between l...
متن کاملIsolation and characterization of aerobic microorganisms with cellulolytic activity in the gut of endogeic earthworms.
The ability of earthworms to decompose lignocellulose involves the assistance of microorganisms in their digestive system. While many studies have revealed a diverse microbiota in the earthworm gut, including aerobic and anaerobic microorganisms, it remains unclear which of these species contribute to lignocellulose digestion. In this study, aerobic microorganisms with cellulolytic activity iso...
متن کاملMetabolic flux analysis and metabolic engineering of microorganisms.
Recent advances in metabolic flux analysis including genome-scale constraints-based flux analysis and its applications in metabolic engineering are reviewed. Various computational aspects of constraints-based flux analysis including genome-scale stoichiometric models, additional constraints used for the improved accuracy, and several algorithms for identifying the target genes to be manipulated...
متن کاملGut Microbiota and Metabolic Disorders
Gut microbiota plays critical physiological roles in the energy extraction and in the control of local or systemic immunity. Gut microbiota and its disturbance also appear to be involved in the pathogenesis of diverse diseases including metabolic disorders, gastrointestinal diseases, cancer, etc. In the metabolic point of view, gut microbiota can modulate lipid accumulation, lipopolysaccharide ...
