🦠 Beyond classic probiotics: @schmitzstreitslab.bsky.social lab reveals diverse #Bacteroidota gut strains that block #biofilms of major pathogens. Many also disrupt quorum sensing & show bile salt hydrolase activity—expanding the #microbiome toolbox against infection.

Parallel Evolution of Bacteroidota as Long-Term Endosymbionts of Insects Symbiotic relationships transform diverse aspects of both symbiont and host biology. The most visible changes include a massive reduction of the endosymbiont genome and the development of novel host o...

Hundreds of abundant freshwater microbes finally cultivated for laboratory study Until now, most microbial cultivation efforts focused on fast-growing organisms that grow in nutrient-rich media. This has left many of the most abundant aquatic microbes, slow-growing oligotrophs…

Metabolism of hemicelluloses by root-associated Bacteroidota species Abstract. Bacteroidota species are enriched in the plant microbiome and provide several beneficial functions for their host, including disease suppression.
