Association of intratumoral microbiome diversity with hepatocellular carcinoma prognosis by Fengle Jiang, Yuan Dang, Zheting Zhang, Yanan Yan, Yingchao Wang, Yi Chen, Lihong Chen, Jialiang Zhang, Jingfeng Liu, Jianmin Wang

“…The bacteria in the long overall survival (LOS) group were associated with metabolism and cytokine‒cytokine receptor interaction pathways, while bacteria in the short overall survival (SOS) group were associated with proinflammatory and cell proliferation pathways. Notably, specific taxa could independently predict HCC prognosis. Based on these findings, intratumoral microbiomes facilitate the use of precision medicine in clinical practice.…”

Land use intensity differently influences soil communities across a range of arable fields and grasslands by Chenguang Gao, Johanna E.M. Schild, Gabriel Y.K. Moinet, T. Martijn Bezemer, Franciska T. de Vries, Jan Hassink, Nick van Eekeren, Kevin Beentjes, Peter M. van Bodegom

“…The combined effects of various agricultural practices have, until now, been largely overlooked in agroecosystems.Here, we conducted a field soil sampling campaign on 87 farms with two land use types (39 arable fields and 48 grasslands) to investigate the relationship between land use intensity, determined by various agricultural practices, and multiple soil communities (bacteria, fungi, protists and invertebrates) at regional scales.We found that land use intensity influenced the diversity and community composition of various soil taxa differently, and these impacts strongly depended on land use type. …”

A systematic review on gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes mellitus by Serena Chong, Serena Chong, Mike Lin, Mike Lin, Deborah Chong, Slade Jensen, Slade Jensen, Slade Jensen, Namson S. Lau, Namson S. Lau, Namson S. Lau

“…Genera Lactobacillus, Escherichia-Shigella, Enterococcus, Subdoligranulum and Fusobacteria were found to be positively associated; while Akkermansia, Bifidobacterium, Bacteroides, Roseburia, Faecalibacteirum and Prevotella were found to be negatively associated with T2DM.ConclusionsThis systematic review demonstrates a strong association between T2DM and gut dysbiosis, as evidenced by differential microbial abundances and altered diversity indices. Among these taxa, Escherichia-Shigella is consistently associated with T2DM, whereas Faecalibacterium prausnitzii appears to offer a protective effect against T2DM. …”

Enrichment of electrotrophic microorganisms from contrasting shallow-sea hydrothermal environments in bioelectrochemical reactors by Antoine Carissimo, Victoria Comes, Alenica Heussner, Anne-Hélène Prime, Roy E. Price, Gaël Erauso, Pierre-Pol Liebgott, Sven Kerzenmacher, Guillaume Pillot

“…Finally, microbial communities were described by 16S metabarcoding and ordination methods, and potential electrotrophic taxa were identified. In Panarea reactors, higher growth was correlated with a few bacterial genera, mainly Bacillus and Pseudoalteromonas, including, for the former, at higher temperatures (55°C and 75°C). …”
