Modern animal and crop production practices are associated with the regular use of antimicrobials, potentially increasing selection pressure on bacteria to become resistant. Alternative approaches are needed in order to ...

Abstract This study uses the Levenberg–Marquardt strategy with feed forward neural networks (LMS-FNN) to inspect the Soret-Dufour effect on radiative hybrid nanofluid flow across a Riga plate with gyrotactic microorgan...

Background: Mitigating the effects of global warming has become the main challenge for humanity in recent decades. Livestock farming contributes to greenhouse gas emissions, with an important output of methane from enter...

Abstract In this work, the intelligent Levenberg–Marquardt optimization approach is applied to evaluate the activation energy influence on thermo-bioconvection flow of a trihybrid nanofluid including oxytactic microbes...

Abstract Dormancy, as a microbial survival strategy, plays a crucial role in sustaining microbial diversity. However, the large-scale distribution patterns of microbial dormancy and drivers remain poorly understood. Here...

ABSTRACT We evaluated the difference between rumen bacteria in Tan sheep fed either by grazing or in a feedlot. The aim was to provide a theoretical basis for ruminant nutrition and meat quality based on rumen fermentati...

ABSTRACT Microorganisms are expected to play vital roles in the development of sustainable societies, but this idea is still poorly understood by the general public. In addition, it would also be important for the future...

Platanthera transversa is a common orchid in western North America yet it is poorly studied. This makes it difficult to understand the breadth of pollinators and floral attractant mechanisms present, both of which are vi...

The objective of the present study was to evaluate the effects of dietary lipid content (20, 40 and 60 g/kg dry matter) on intake, total and ruminal apparent digestibility of dry matter (DM), nutrient digestibility, rume...

Recent research into decomposition has shed light on the intricate interplay within multi-kingdom communities, with microbial populations emerging as key players in the breakdown process and emphasizing their interaction...

Abstract The social behaviors of microbes provide unique opportunities for testing social evolution theories. How can altruistic behaviors arise by natural selection is a central challenge in biology. Green-beard effect ...

The composition of the upper respiratory tract (URT) microbiota is shaped by both anatomical niches and host immune defenses. Older adults (>65 years) are at greatest risk of acquiring severe URT infections. However, ver...

Human activities are contributing to Global Climate Change through the production of Green House Gases (GHG), which result in increased air, land and ocean temperatures and extreme changes in precipitation in regions of ...

Abstract This study aimed to evaluate the effectiveness of propolis extract as a natural preservative for livestock products in term of chemical and microbiological characteristics by meta-analysis. The stages carried ou...

Two types of the fungus Trichoderma were chosen, these are T.viride and T.harzianum. The activity of these fungi were tested against different kinds of plant and human pathogenic fungi. After screening , the fungus T.har...

Abstract Soil microbes are essential for ecosystem functioning, affecting soil health and fertility. The microbial diversity present in soil is influenced by diverse land-use practices and environmental conditions; howev...

BackgroundThe research on human microbiota-associated (HMA) animal models is an important tool for studying the human microbiome and holds great potential for elucidating disease mechanisms and microbe-based therapeutic ...

Abstract Background Perinatal depression (PD) is classified into four subtypes: pregnancy, early postpartum, late postpartum, and chronic, based on depressive symptom trajectories, with each subtype potentially involving...

IntroductionChronic granulomatous disease (CGD) is an inborn error in immunity that results in increased infectious susceptibility to serious infections, often from catalase-positive organisms, due to defects in the NADP...

Abstract Background The gut microbiome is an ecosystem of microbes that live within the host’s digestive tract and are a vital component of host health. An increasing number of studies are investigating microbiome diff...

ABSTRACT Disturbance of commensal intestinal microbiota is related to chronic inflammatory dermatosis. We analyzed the diversity of the gut microbiota to characterize the biological variation of psoriasis (Ps). Significa...

ABSTRACT In this study, a mixture of estradiol benzoate, progesterone, and testosterone propionate was injected into Diannan small-ear sows to induce estrus. The 16S rRNA technology was used to comparatively analyze the ...

Abstract Background Calcium oxalate (CaOx) uroliths are common in dogs. Humans with CaOx urolithiasis exhibit alterations of the urinary and urogenital microbiomes that might mediate urolith formation. Detection of uroge...

ABSTRACT Streptococcus gallolyticus subsp. gallolyticus (SGG) is a bacterial pathogen implicated in bacteremia and endocarditis and is often associated with colon tumors in elderly individuals. The development of colorec...
