Two Species of Long-Day Breeding Hamsters Exhibit Distinct Gut Microbial Responses to Photoperiodic Variations by Chao Fan, Huiliang Xue, Jinhui Xu, Ming Wu, Lei Chen, Laixiang Xu

“…The bacterial community variation in the striped hamsters was reflected mainly in the enrichment of the genera <i>Enterorhabdus</i> and <i>Jeotgalicoccus</i> in the LD group; meanwhile, more taxa with significant changes in relative abundance under different photoperiods were found in the Djungarian hamsters, such as the enrichment of the genera <i>Lactobacillus</i> and <i>Faecalibaculum</i> in the LD group and the enrichment of the genera <i>Ruminococcus</i> and <i>Colidextribacter</i> in the SD group. …”

Soil Bacterial and Fungal Community Composition in Top- and Subsoil From Irrigated Mediterranean Orchards by Mohamed Mdaini, Mohamed Mdaini, Mohamed Mdaini, Eva Lloret, Eva Lloret, Nadhem Brahim, Najet Shimi, Raúl Zornoza, Raúl Zornoza

“…Our findings indicated that soil pH (higher in subsoil), electrical conductivity (higher in topsoil) and soil organic carbon (higher in topsoil) were the primary physicochemical drivers of microbial community composition shifts between top- and subsoil. Genera such as Rhizobium, Skermanella, Microvirga and Rubrobacter (bacteria) and Aspergillus, Gibellulopsis, Alternaria, Preussia and Monocillium (fungi) were identified as key genera more abundant in the topsoil, while MB-A2-108, Streptomyces and Bacillus (bacteria), and Mortierella, Fusarium, Necosmospora, Chaetomium and Emericellopsis (fungi), were key genera more abundant in the subsoil, associated with key studied soil properties. …”
