Bacterial Phylum Firmicutes01:27

Bacterial Phylum Firmicutes

489
Firmicutes is a diverse phylum of Gram-positive bacteria characterized by a low GC content in their genomes. This phylum includes organisms with monoderm or diderm cell envelopes, highlighting a complex evolutionary history. Firmicutes comprises several major orders, including Lactobacillales, Clostridiales, and Bacillales, which exhibit remarkable diversity in their morphology, metabolism, and ecological roles.The order Lactobacillales includes lactic acid bacteria, which are fermentative...

Surface Membrane Barriers01:18

Surface Membrane Barriers

2.0K
The skin and mucous membranes serve as the primary line of defense against pathogens by providing both physical and chemical protection. These barriers are essential in preventing the entry and establishment of microbes, thereby maintaining the integrity of the host.
The outer layer of the skin, the epidermis, is a robust barrier comprising layers of closely packed keratinized cells. This dense arrangement prevents microbes from penetrating the body. The periodic shedding of epidermal cells...

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine01:29

Bacterial Flora of the Large Intestine

942
The gut microbiome is formed by a vast and diverse community of bacteria that colonizes our large intestine. These bacteria start residing in the gut from birth and continue diversifying throughout life, influenced by factors such as diet, lifestyle, and stress. The gut bacterial community also includes bacteria from food and those that enter the colon through the anus.
The normal gut flora of the colon plays a critical role in generating essential vitamins such as vitamins K, B5, and B7.

Bacterial Phylum Tenericutes01:24

Bacterial Phylum Tenericutes

240
The phylum Tenericutes, which includes the single class Mollicutes, comprises bacteria that lack cell walls. The term "Mollicutes" derives from the Latin word mollis, meaning "soft." These organisms are among the smallest known and are commonly referred to as mycoplasmas due to the prominence of the genus Mycoplasma, which includes well-known human pathogens. Despite their inability to stain gram-positively (a result of their lack of cell walls), mycoplasmas are phylogenetically related to the...

Anatomy of the Intestines01:23

Anatomy of the Intestines

85.4K
Although digestion of proteins, carbohydrates, and lipids may begin in the stomach, it is completed in the intestine. The absorption of nutrients, water, and electrolytes from food and drink also occurs in the intestine. The intestines can be divided into two structurally distinct organs—the small and large intestines.
Small Intestines
The small intestine is an ~7 meter-long tube with an inner diameter of just 2.5 cm. Since most nutrients are absorbed here, the inner lining of the...

Bacterial Phylum Verrucomicrobiota01:26

Bacterial Phylum Verrucomicrobiota

284
The phylum Verrucomicrobiota comprises at least four characterized orders, with most species classified within the order Verrucomicrobiotales. Members of this phylum are either aerobic or facultatively aerobic, with the ability to ferment sugars. A notable exception is the genus Methylacidiphilum, which consists of aerobic methanotrophs. Additionally, some Verrucomicrobiota establish symbiotic relationships with protists. These bacteria are widely distributed across various environments,...

Area of Science:

  • Microbiome research
  • Bovine health
  • Metagenomics

Background:

  • Characterizing cattle epimural microbiota is vital for understanding gut health.
  • Inconsistent methodologies in 16S rRNA gene studies hinder comparative analysis.
  • This study addresses variations in experimental and bioinformatics approaches.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To perform a meta-analysis of cattle rumen epimural microbiota from existing studies.
  • To identify sources of variation in epimural microbiota data.
  • To determine the core epimural microbiota and its functional potential.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized QIIME2 pipeline for analyzing 332 rumen epithelial microbiota samples.
  • Conducted a meta-analysis of 11 public amplicon studies.
  • Employed PICRUSt for predictive functional analysis of the microbiota.

Main Results:

  • Identified a core epimural microbiota present in over 90% of samples, including genera like Campylobacter and Ruminococcaceae.
  • Found that country, farm, region, primers, animal, and biopsy location impacted microbial abundance but not core microbiota identification.
  • Predictive analysis revealed key metabolic functions, particularly precursor metabolite biosynthesis, linked to specific genera.

Conclusions:

  • A consistent core epimural microbiota exists in cattle, robust to common experimental variations.
  • Specific bacterial genera play significant roles in rumen epithelial metabolism.
  • Standardization of methods is crucial for future comparative microbiome studies in cattle.
