Abstract:

Gut microbiota profoundly influence host physiology, yet most studies rely on bulk-scale intestinal samples, overlooking microbial heterogeneity at the micro-scale. Here, we present a dataset generated from 378 colonic micro-scale grains (20-40 µm) and 20 bulk samples collected from four Kunming mice. Using Illumina NovaSeq 6000 sequencing of the 16S rRNA V4 region, we obtained over 8.0 million raw reads, processed into 1506 amplicon sequence variants (ASVs) spanning 19 phyla and 203 genera. Firmicutes and Bacteroidetes were the dominant phyla across scales, while marked differences were observed in ASV richness (p < 0.001, Wilcoxon test) and network complexity (number of edges, p = 0.03, Wilcoxon test) between bulk samples and micro-scale grains. The dataset, deposited in the NCBI Sequence Read Archive (SRA) under BioProject PRJNA1249752, provides a high-resolution view of gut microbial spatial organization at the sub-100 µm scale. These data advance current understanding of microbial assembly processes, interspecies interactions, and scale-dependent community structure, thereby serving as a valuable resource for microbiome ecology and future mechanistic studies.

Introduction to the Human Microbiota

Introduction to the Human Microbiota

Microorganisms colonize various regions of the human body, including the mouth, nasal passages, throat, stomach, intestines, urogenital tract, and skin. The total number of microbial cells is estimated to range from 10¹³ to 10¹⁴—comparable to, or exceeding, the number of human somatic cells. This host–microbiome relationship has led to the conceptualization of humans as supraorganisms, wherein microbial communities perform vital roles in development, immunity, and disease...

Microbiota of the Urogenital Tract

Microbiota of the Urogenital Tract

The human urogenital system, once thought to be sterile in healthy individuals, is now recognized as a complex microbial habitat. Advancements in molecular sequencing techniques have revealed that even in healthy adults, the kidneys and bladder harbor microbial populations similar to those found in the distal urethra, albeit in much lower abundance. These resident microorganisms, while generally innocuous, can become opportunistic pathogens under conditions that alter the urogenital...
