Malaria, caused by Plasmodium species, remains a significant cause of morbidity and mortality globally. Gut bacteria can influence the severity of malaria, but the contribution of specific bacteria to the risk of severe malaria is unknown. Here, multiomics approaches demonstrate specific...
Gut-resident bacteria must withstand membrane-disrupting stresses such as bile acids to persist in the intestinal environment. The Bacteroidota are a dominant phylum of the human gut microbiota. However, the genes responsible for synthesis of membrane lipids in this phylum remain relatively uncha...
Bacteroides thetaiotaomicron (B. theta) dominates the gut microbiome of most mammals. This strictly anaerobic gut symbiont colonizes the mucus layer of host intestinal epithelial cells in both healthy and diseased conditions. Reduced neuronal and vagal afferent innervation observed in ge...
Background & Aims: Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a major public health concern. Gut dysbiosis plays a critical role in its pathogenesis, yet the specific microbial and functional shifts driving ALD progression require further elucidation. This study aims to characterize these alterations a...

18 Bacteroidetes isoaltes were analyzed for their neuroactive potentail using un-targeted and targeted metabolomics. The bacteria were grown to stationary phase, the supernatant was separated and purified using 0.22 um filter. The metabolome from the supernatant was extracted using standard Metha...
The gut microbiota plays a crucial role in the onset and progression of inflammatory bowel disease (IBD). β-glucan (BG), a soluble dietary fiber widely present in oats, barley, fungi, yeast and some bacteria, has multiple bioactive properties such as mitigating intestinal inflammation; however, t...
