The dynamics of the midgut microbiome in during digestion reveal putative symbionts.

Blood-feeding is crucial for the reproductive cycle of the mosquito , as well as for the transmission of arboviruses to hosts. It is postulated that blood meals may influence the mosquito microbiome but shifts in microbial diversity and function during digestion remain elusive. We used whole-genome shotgun metagenomics to monitor the midgut microbiome in 60 individual females of throughout digestion, after 12, 24, and 48 h following blood or sugar meals.

The genomic characterisation and comparison of Bacillus cereus strains isolated from indoor air.

Background: Bacillus cereus is ubiquitous in nature, found in environments such as soil, plants, air, and part of the insect and human gut microbiome. The ability to produce endospores and biofilms contribute to their pathogenicity, classified in two types of food poisoning: diarrheal and emetic syndromes. Here we report gap-free, whole-genome sequences of two B.

Complete genome of strain SGAir0282 isolated from air in Singapore.

Background: complex (ECC) bacteria, such as , , , and , have been emerging as nosocomial pathogens. Many strains isolated from medical clinics were found to be resistant to antibiotics, and in the worst cases, acquired multidrug resistance. We present the whole genome sequence of SGAir0282, isolated from the outdoor air in Singapore, and its relevance to other ECC bacteria by in silico genomic analysis.

Deciphering the transcriptomic insight during organogenesis in Castor ( L.), Jatropha ( L.) and Sunflower ( L.).

Cultivation of the castor crop is hindered by various factors and one of the approaches for genetic improvement of the crop is through exploitation of biotechnological tools. Response of castor tissues to in vitro culture is poor which necessitated this study on understanding the molecular basis of organogenesis in cultured tissues of castor, through de novo transcriptome analysis and by comparing with jatropha and sunflower having good regeneration ability. Transcriptome profiling analysis was carried out with hypocotyl explants from castor, jatropha and cotyledons from sunflower cultured on MS media supplemented with different concentrations of hormones.

Microbial communities in the tropical air ecosystem follow a precise diel cycle.
