Tetrodotoxin, fungal pathogen infection, and bacterial microbiome associations are variable in the skin microecosystems of two Taricha Newt species
… locale, the influences of TTX concentration on microbiome diversity and pathogen dynamics remains unanswered. I examined the interactions of TTX concentration on Bd infection and microbiome composition in two Taricha newt species, Taricha granulosa and T. torosa, in the western USA. Among newt …

Assessment of the microbiome associated with endangered orchids
… this study, we sought a broader picture of the microbiome associated with these plants. A major motivation for our work is the concern that the gaps in our understanding of orchid microbiomes might have important consequences when decisions are made in the management of species of conservation …

Impact of Brewing Industry Byproducts Used as Feed Additives for Aquaculture-Raised Fish: Studies of the Host-Microbe Relationship
… of research; modulation of the host intestinal bacterial community via prebiotics is one possibility. Prebiotics refer to non-digestible food ingredients that are thought to stimulate the growth of beneficial bacteria, consequently benefiting host health by indirectly reducing the possibility of …
