Full-scale anaerobic digesters' performance is regulated by modifying their operational conditions, but little is known about how these modifications affect their microbiome. In this work, we monitored two originally mesophilic (35 °C) full-scale anaerobic digesters during 476 days. One digester was submitted to sub-mesophilic (25 °C) conditions between days 123 and 373. We characterized the effect of temperature modification using a multi-omics (metataxonomics, metagenomics, and metabolomics) approach. The metataxonomics and metagenomics results revealed that the lower temperature allowed a substantial increase of the sub-dominant bacterial population, destabilizing the microbial community equilibrium and reducing the biogas production. After restoring the initial mesophilic temperature, the bacterial community manifested resilience in terms of microbial structure and functional activity. The metabolomic signature of the sub-mesophilic acclimation was characterized by a rise of amino acids and short peptides, suggesting a protein degradation activity not directed towards biogas production.

The present study aims to deepen the knowledge of the microbiota, gross composition, physico-chemical and morpho-textural features, biogenic amines content and volatilome of Njeguški cheese, one of the most popular indigenous cheeses produced in Montenegro. Cheese samples were collected in duplicate from three different batches produced by three Montenegrin artisan producers. For the first time, the microbiota of Njeguški cheese was investigated using both culture-dependent techniques and metagenomic analysis.

Dysbiosis of the gut-liver axis increases the risk of bacterial and metabolite influx into the liver, which may contribute to the development of hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC). In this study, we compared the microbiomes in HCC tumors and adjacent tissues. We examined the HCC tumors and adjacent tissues from 19 patients diagnosed with HCC.

Rhodobacteraceae are Prevalent and Ecologically Crucial Bacterial Members in Marine Biofloc Aquaculture.

Bioflocs are microbial aggregates primarily composed of heterotrophic bacteria that play essential ecological roles in maintaining animal health, gut microbiota, and water quality in biofloc aquaculture systems. Despite the global adoption of biofloc aquaculture for shrimp and fish cultivation, our understanding of biofloc microbiota-particularly the dominant bacterial members and their ecological functions-remains limited. In this study, we employed integrated metataxonomic and metagenomic approaches to demonstrate that the family Rhodobacteraceae of Alphaproteobacteria consistently dominates the biofloc microbiota and plays essential ecological roles.

Control of fungal phytopathogens is a significant challenge in modern agriculture. The widespread use of chemical fungicides to control these pathogens often leads to environmental and food contamination. An eco-friendly alternative that can help reduce reliance on these chemicals is plant growth-promoting bacteria (PGPB), particularly those of the genus Paenibacillus, which appear to be highly effective.

Unlabelled: The ruminant-microorganism symbiosis is unique by providing high-quality food from fibrous materials but also contributes to the production of one of the most potent greenhouse gases-methane. Mitigating methanogenesis in ruminants has been a focus of interest in the past decades. One of the promising strategies to combat methane production is the use of feed supplements, such as seaweeds, that might mitigate methanogenesis via microbiome modulation and direct chemical inhibition.
