The term “microbiota” invokes images of mucosal surfaces densely populated with bacteria.
These surfaces and the luminal compartments they form indeed predominantly harbor�…

The importance of the microbiome to human health is increasingly recognized and has
become a major focus of recent research. However, much of the work has focused on a few�…

Fungal microorganisms (mycobiota) comprise a small but immunoreactive component of the
human microbiome, yet little is known about their role in human cancers. Pan-cancer�…

Characterizing the microbial communities inhabiting specimens is one of the primary
objectives of microbiome studies. A short-read sequencing platform for reading partial�…

Microbiomes of soils and plants are linked, but how this affects microbiomes of aboveground
herbivorous insects is unknown. We first generated plant-conditioned soils in field plots, then�…

ABSTRACT A wide diversity of fungi have been detected in the human gastrointestinal (GI)
tract with the potential to provide or influence important functions. However, many of the�…

Recent studies report the presence of fungal species in breast milk of healthy mothers,
suggesting a potential role in infant mycobiome development. In the present work, we aimed�…

The present study systematically evaluated the potential of Candida subhashii, Fusarium
solani and their consortium for the abatement of n-hexane, trichloroethylene (TCE), toluene�…

Blastocystis is an emerging zoonotic pathogen with global distribution. However, limited
data exist on the prevalence and genetic diversity of Blastocystis in the USA and in food�…

Human-associated microbial communities include prokaryotic and eukaryotic organisms
across high-level clades of the tree of life. While advances in high-throughput sequencing�…
