The agricultural fermentation processing of cigar tobacco leaves (CTLs), including air-curing and agricultural fermentation, carried out by tobacco farmers has rarely been studied. In this study, we have investigated the microbial community in the CTLs during air-curing and agricultural fermentation by 16S rRNA and ITS gene high-throughput sequencing. The results showed that the richness of microbial communities gradually increased with the development of agricultural fermentation, which means that not all microorganisms in CTLs come from the fields where tobacco grows, but gradually accumulate into CTLs during the fermentation process. , , and were the dominant genera in the air-cured CTLs. , unclassified , , , and were the dominant genera in the agriculturally fermented CTLs. , , , and first significantly increased, and then significantly decreased during agricultural processing. The changes in microbial communities are mainly related to their different functions during fermentation. This means that when the fermentation effect of the original microbial community in cigar tobacco leaves is not ideal, we can optimize or design the microbial community based on the fermentation function that the microbial community needs to achieve. These results may help adjust and optimize the agricultural fermentation process of CTLs, and help develop the quality of CTLs and increase the income of tobacco farmers.

Introduction: Prostate cancer is one of the most common cancers in the United States with a high mortality rate. In recent years, the traditional opinion about prostate microbiome was challenged. Although there still are some arguments, an escalating number of researchers are shifting their focus toward the microbiome within the prostate tumor environment.

Background: Maintaining gut health is a persistent and unresolved challenge in the poultry industry. Given the critical role of gut health in chicken performance and welfare, there is a pressing need to identify effective gut health intervention (GHI) strategies to ensure optimal outcomes in poultry farming. In this study, across three broiler production cycles, we compared the metagenomes and performance of broilers provided with ionophores (as the control group) against birds subjected to five different GHI combinations involving vaccination, probiotics, prebiotics, essential oils, and reduction of ionophore use.

Animals infected with mycoplasma pneumoniae not only develop respiratory diseases, but also cause digestive diseases through the lung-gut axis mediated by the intestinal flora, and vice versa. Antimicrobial peptides are characterized by their bactericidal, anti-inflammatory, and intestinal flora-regulating properties. However, the effect of cecropin AD (CAD) against mycoplasma pneumonia remains unclear.

Introduction: Orofacial cleft impacts jawbone and dental development and function, often with consequences for oral health. The first in this two-part systematic review of the literature on oral health in persons with cleft lip and/or palate focuses on periodontal parameters and composition of oral bacterial flora, while the second analyzes data on dental caries.
Materials And Methods: Four databases (PubMed, Cochrane, Scopus, Web of Science) were searched for studies that compared periodontal parameters, caries index, and microbiota composition between persons with cleft lip and/or palate and healthy controls.

Magnesium (Mg) an essential plant nutrient is widespread deficient in the acidic soils of Nilgiris of Tamil nadu, India. The vegetable yield and quality is especially affected due to deficiency of nutrients like Mg. This study investigates soil characteristics and bacterial diversity in the Nilgiris district of Tamil Nadu, India, with respect to Mg deficiency.
