Summary: This study aims to investigate the gut microbiota profile of adults with coronary atherosclerosis and provides insights for future research. High-throughput sequencing of fecal samples from 35 patients with coronary atherosclerosis and 32 healthy adults in Nanjing, China, revealed differences in gut microbiota composition and diversity between the two groups. Megamonas, Streptococcus, Veillonella, Ruminococcus_torques_group, Prevotella_2, and Tyzzerella_4 were identified as potential biomarkers for coronary atherosclerosis.

Summary: This study investigated alterations in fecal microbiota and inflammatory cytokine responses in Huntington's disease (HD) patients. The results showed that HD patients had changes in microbiota diversity and structure, with some microbial components correlated with clinical characteristics and cytokine levels. The findings provide insight into the pathogenesis of HD and the potential role of gut dysbiosis in the disease.

Summary: This study found that the gut bacterial community remains relatively stable in diarrheic giraffes, but the gut fungal community shows significant changes between healthy and diarrheic states. Diarrhea causes significant alterations in gut microbial composition, with more pronounced changes observed in the gut bacterial community.

Summary: This study assessed the correlation between gut microbiota (GM) and bone loss in disuse-induced osteoporosis (DIO). The results showed that changes in GM abundance and fecal metabolites were associated with DIO-induced bone loss, providing new insights into the pathogenesis of DIO. Further research is needed to explore the detailed regulatory role of GM and metabolites in DIO-induced bone loss.

Summary: This study describes the gut microbiota diversity of four species of grasshoppers and finds that the gut microbiota is correlated with the cellulose and hemicellulose digestibility of grasshoppers. This is important for developing grasshopper digestive tracts as bioreactors for cellulose decomposition, improving the utilization of agricultural straw, and producing clean biomass energy.

Summary: In this study, the effects of Cordyceps militaris extracts (CE) and cordycepin (CCS) on T2DM mice were analyzed using gut microbiome and metabolomics methods. The results showed that the CCS and CE groups had decreased glucose and lipid metabolism parameters, oxidative stress biomarkers, and inflammation cytokines. Comparative analysis of fecal samples indicated a higher abundance of Firmicutes/Bacteroidetes in the experimental groups. These findings suggest that C. militaris could be used as a food supplement to alleviate T2DM.

Summary: This study investigates the microbial communities associated with individuals from the fig wasp genus Ceratosolen. The results show a significant positive correlation between host genetic characteristics and microbial diversity characteristics, indicating phylosymbiosis within a genus. Additionally, it is found that the presence of endosymbiotic Wolbachia in fig wasps leads to a decrease in bacterial diversity of host-associated microbial communities.

Summary: This study using 16S rDNA amplicon sequencing revealed distinct differences in gut microbial composition and diversity between diarrheic and healthy Baer's Pochard. The gut bacterial community of diarrheic Baer's Pochard showed a decrease in alpha diversity with evident changes in taxonomic compositions compared to healthy individuals. This is the first report to investigate the alterations in gut microbiota of Baer's Pochard under different health states, providing valuable insight into gut microbial composition and diversity in this species.

Summary: This study investigated the effect of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) intervention on the structure and function of the gut microbiota (GM) in patients with osteoporosis (OP). After three months of treatment, patients in the TCM group showed improved bone mineral density (BMD) compared to the control group. The GM composition and metabolites also underwent significant changes. This suggests that TCM may promote the rehabilitation of OP patients through modulation of the GM.

Summary: This study investigated the composition of gut microbiota in a lab-reared strain of Spodoptera frugiperda and its effects on reproduction. Results showed that the composition of gut microbiota varied during the life cycle of S. frugiperda, with eggs having higher bacterial diversity. The changes in gut microbiota also led to differences in metabolic functions and significantly impacted male reproduction.

Summary: This study examined the variations in the gut microbiota of Nile tilapia across an altitudinal gradient in Ethiopia. The results showed that altitude can modulate the composition and diversity of the gut microbiota in Nile tilapia. Some shared bacterial communities were also detected.
