TL;DR: In this article, a metagenomics approach was applied to characterize the ecological and functional differences of gut microbiota among mice fed a normal diet (CTL), a high-fat diet (HFD), and a laminarin-supplemented high fat diet.

TL;DR: The results suggest that NGS-based microbial community analysis of groundwater may be a useful tool for monitoring groundwater quality and detect seawater intrusion, and this technology may also provide additional insights in understanding hydrological dynamics.

TL;DR: The results showed the significant increase in species richness after the stabilization of gut microbiota during the post-weaning period (4-week-old), and the ecological succession of swine gut microbiota according to swine weight.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the initial impacts of fertilizers and irrigation systems on paddy microbial communities and methane emission in early stages of rice cultivation (2-weeks after transplanting 15-day-old rice seedlings), and found that a high amount of methane was emitted from rice fertilized with swine manure.
