Unraveling the human salivary microbiome diversity in Indian populations

The importance of studying the salivary microbiome has been highlighted for its connection to health and disease and as a potential tool for supplementing human genetic diversity studies. While the salivary microbiome has been studied in various world populations, Indian populations have not been examined. We therefore analyzed microbiome diversity in saliva samples from 92 volunteers from eigh...

Novel Syntrophic Populations Dominate an Ammonia-Tolerant Methanogenic Microbiome

Biogas reactors operating with protein-rich substrates have high methane potential and industrial value; however, they are highly susceptible to process failure because of the accumulation of ammonia. High ammonia levels cause a decline in acetate-utilizing methanogens and instead promote the conversion of acetate via a two-step mechanism involving syntrophic acetate oxidation (SAO) to H2 and C...

Worcester Slaughterhouse Account

§1. The text published in this note (for images and full transliteration, see the CDLI entry http://cdli.ucla.edu/ texts/P218067.html) was brought to my attention by Jordan Love, Curatorial Assistant at the Worcester Art Museum in Worcester, MA. Ms. Love exhibited great patience in dealing with my several requests for better images of the substantial tablet; despit...

Human Microbiome

Humans are almost identical in their genetic pattern, but the slight differences in our DNA lead to remarkable phenotypic variation among the human population. There are a variety of microbial communities and their genes (microbiomes) in the human body that play an essential role in human health and disease. The microbes inhabiting our bodies is quite a bit more variable, with only a third of i...
