Cellulolytic flagellates are essential for the symbiotic digestion of lignocellulose in the gut of lower termites. Most species are associated with host-specific consortia of bacterial symbionts from various phyla. 16S rRNA-based diversity studies and taxon-specific fluorescence in situ hybridization revealed a termite-specific clade of Actinomycetales that colonise the cytoplasm of Trichonympha spp.

The gut microbiota (GM) can affect the immune system, which can lead to a variety of diseases, as confirmed by many studies. However, the exact mechanism by which GM affects kidney stone incidence through the immune system remains unclear. This study used a two-step, two-sample Mendelian randomization (MR) analysis by inverse variance weighting (IVW) method as well as Bayesian weighting (BWMR) to find out how the gut microbiota and inflammatory cytokines contribute to kidney stones, followed by a mediated MR analysis to exploreHow inflammatory cytokines are involved in the connection with the gut microbiota and kidney stones.

Two mycelium-forming actinobacterial strains, designated as DLS-47 and DLS-62, were isolated from volcanic ash collected from the surface of a rock on the peak of Darangshi Oreum (a volcanic cone) in Jeju, Republic of Korea, and their taxonomic positions were investigated by a polyphasic approach. Both of the isolates showed growth at 20-42 °C, pH 6.0-9.

Background: Pathological scars (PSs), resulting from abnormal skin repair, chronic inflammation, and fibrosis, affect millions of people. Previous studies have demonstrated that skin microbiota (SM) plays a role in cutaneous inflammation and healing, but the interplay between PSs and SM remains unclear yet.
Objective: To investigate the causal associations between SM and two specific PSs: hypertrophic scars (HSs) and keloids.
