Superresolution Imaging Captures Carbohydrate Utilization Dynamics in Human Gut Symbionts
UNLABELLED Gut microbes play a key role in human health and nutrition by catabolizing a wide variety of glycans via enzymatic activities that are not encoded in the human genome. The ability to recognize and process carbohydrates strongly influences the structure of the gut microbial community. While the effects of diet on the microbiota are well documented, little is known about the molecular ...
متن کاملAn Ecological Network of Polysaccharide Utilization among Human Intestinal Symbionts
BACKGROUND The human intestine is colonized with trillions of microorganisms important to health and disease. There has been an intensive effort to catalog the species and genetic content of this microbial ecosystem. However, little is known of the ecological interactions between these microbes, a prerequisite to understanding the dynamics and stability of this host-associated microbial communi...
متن کاملSuperresolution Parallel Spectroscopic Imaging
INTRODUCTION. Parallel magnetic resonance imaging methods can be used to accelerate the spatial-encoding process in MR spectroscopic imaging (MRSI) [1-2]. However, residual aliasing artifacts may be produced due to coil sensitivity variation within the low spatial resolution MRSI voxels [3-4]. This effect leads to increased lipid contamination and it is amplified for array coils with a large nu...
متن کاملGlobal Profiling of Carbohydrate Active Enzymes in Human Gut Microbiome
MOTIVATION Carbohydrate Active enzyme (CAZyme) families, encoded by human gut microflora, play a crucial role in breakdown of complex dietary carbohydrates into components that can be absorbed by our intestinal epithelium. Since nutritional wellbeing of an individual is dependent on the nutrient harvesting capability of the gut microbiome, it is important to understand how CAZyme repertoire in ...
متن کاملMethan Emission by Gut Symbionts of Termites
Methanogenesis is a microbial process in which organic matter is assimilated and metabolized with the ultimate production of biogas that contains methane and carbon dioxide in the approximate ratio of 2:1. It represents a major electron sink in the metabolism of termites. An understanding of the dominant methanogens inside termite gut and their efficiency in the production of methane can find a...
