Mercury and Arctic Char Gill Microbiota Correlation in Canadian Arctic Communities.

Arctic char is a top predator in Arctic waters and is threatened by mercury pollution in the context of changing climate. Gill microbiota is directly exposed to environmental xenobiotics and play a central role in immunity and fitness. Surprisingly, there is a lack of literature studying the effect of mercury on gill microbiota.

Suppressive Effect of Black Soldier Fly Larvae Frass on Fusarium Wilt Disease in Tomato Plants.

This study investigated the effect of black soldier fly larvae (BSFL) frass derived from BSFL reared on a diet composed of fruit/vegetable/bakery/brewery residues (FVBB diet) and on the Gainesville diet (GV diet) on the development of tomato () Fusarium wilt caused by f. sp. (FOL).

Honeybee gut bacterial strain improved survival and gut microbiota homeostasis in exposed to clothianidin.

Unlabelled: Pesticides are causing honeybee mortality worldwide. Research carried out on honeybees indicates that application of pesticides has a significant impact on the core gut community, which ultimately leads to an increase in the growth of harmful pathogens. Disturbances caused by pesticides also affect the way bacterial members interact, which results in gut microbial dysbiosis.

Managing Microbiota Activity of with Probiotic (Bactocell) and Antimicrobial (Fumidil B) Treatments: Effects on Spring Colony Strength.

Against a backdrop of declining bee colony health, this study aims to gain a better understanding of the impact of an antimicrobial (Fumidil B, Can-Vet Animal Health Supplies Ltd., Guelph, ON, Canada) and a probiotic (Bactocell, Lallemand Inc., Montreal, QC, Canada) on bees' microbiota and the health of their colonies after wintering.

The gut microbiome-prostate cancer crosstalk is modulated by dietary polyunsaturated long-chain fatty acids.

The gut microbiota modulates response to hormonal treatments in prostate cancer (PCa) patients, but whether it influences PCa progression remains unknown. Here, we show a reduction in fecal microbiota alpha-diversity correlating with increase tumour burden in two distinct groups of hormonotherapy naïve PCa patients and three murine PCa models. Fecal microbiota transplantation (FMT) from patients with high PCa volume is sufficient to stimulate the growth of mouse PCa revealing the existence of a gut microbiome-cancer crosstalk.
