Impacts of host phylogeny, diet, and geography on the gut microbiome of rodents. by Sufia Akter Neha, John D Hanson, Jeremy E Wilkinson, Robert D Bradley, Caleb D Phillips

“…The present study focused on 12 species of rodents representing 3 rodent families and 3 dietary guilds (herbivores, granivores, and omnivores) to evaluate the influence of host phylogeny, dietary guild and geography on microbial diversity and community composition. Colon samples were examined from rodents that were collected from 7 different localities in Texas and Oklahoma which were characterized using 16S rRNA gene amplicon sequencing targeting the V1-V3 variable regions. …”

Microbiome-derived reactivation of mycophenolate explains variations in enterohepatic recirculation in kidney transplant recipients by Ole Martin Drevland, Eric J. de Muinck, Pål Trosvik, Marta Hammerstad, Kine Eide Kvitne, Karsten Midtvedt, Anders Åsberg, Ida Robertsen

“…However, dosing and tolerance are challenged by significant pharmacokinetic variability among patients, largely due to variable degrees of enterohepatic recirculation of mycophenolic acid (MPA), the active moiety of MMF. …”

Hydrological dynamics, wetland morphology and vegetation structure determine riparian arthropod communities in constructed wetlands by David Åhlén, Sofia Hedman, Jerker Jarsjö, Björn K. Klatt, Lea D. Schneider, John Strand, Ayco Tack, Imenne Åhlén, Peter A. Hambäck

“…Shoreline vegetation height affected multiple groups, spiders, beetles and dipterans, but in different directions, whereas presence of grazing livestock had limited impact on abundances and community compositions. Given the variable responses to wetland hydrological and structural drivers, it seems that wetland arthropod communities would benefit from a high local wetland habitat variability, or wetlandscapes where individual wetlands have differing hydrological dynamics, morphology and vegetation.…”

Phage biocontrol success of bacterial wilt depends on synergistic interactions with resident rhizosphere microbiota by Sara Franco Ortega, Bryden Fields, Daniel Narino Rojas, Lauri Mikonranta, Matthew Holmes, Andrea L. Harper, Ville‐Petri Friman

“…We found that using phages in combination did not improve the phage biocontrol efficiency relative to single phage treatments, while certain phages and their combinations were more effective than the others. High intra‐treatment variability in phage efficiency was observed across all phage treatments, which was associated with clear shifts in microbiome composition, a reduction in R. solanacearum and an increase in phage densities. …”
