"Different microbes" refers to various types of tiny living organisms (microbes) that are distinct or diverse from each other.
Full definition
We've got a lot
of different microbes in the gut, and we're supposed to have them, but they're all supposed to be in the right balance.
However, the challenge is making sense of the output — millions of short DNA fragments from a mix
of different microbes, many of which have never been seen before.
«Because this pool of carbon is composed of an extremely diverse set of molecules, we believed that
many different microbes with complementary abilities would be required to breakdown this material, but it appears that individual species may be pulling more weight than others when it comes to carbon cycling.»
Dysbiosis is a general process where various forms of disruption
involving different microbes, at locations along the roughly nine meters of the intestinal tract are likely to cause different medical problems.
Genetic analysis of colon samples from healthy people reveals that different people harbor
rather different microbe populations, some of which were previously undescribed.
Introducing a synthetic blend of fecal VCAs into cockroaches that had no microorganisms in their digestive tracts resulted in increased aggregation response in young roaches, and experiments indicated that roaches can discriminate among the odors
from different microbes.
In 2009, for example, researchers at Mascoma, a biofuels company in Lebanon, New Hampshire, inserted several such enzymes into two
different microbes already capable of converting simple sugars to ethanol.
What they found surpassed what they had been expecting based on results from the Lake Vostok work with thousands instead of hundreds of
different microbes showing up in results.
An immunologist at the National Institutes of Health, Dr. Yasmine Belkaid, explains it this way: «One of the main roles of
many different microbes is to prepare immune cells for possible encounters with pathogens».
The ratios
of different microbes in the gut also differed between lean and obese participants at every stage of the study, the researchers said.
Previous studies on rural populations in Burkina Faso, Tanzania, and Venezuela, for example, have reported finding more diversity and
different microbes in the study populations than what's found in Western intestines.
«Particularly in the case of the animal - based diet, we saw quite dramatic changes in the abundance of
different microbes — even over the course of a single day,» says Turnbaugh.
Prather said her team's research is going to investigate the earliest stages of this ice - forming process, trying to distinguish the different effects that
different microbes and bacteria can have when they infiltrate a cloud.
«This work will help researchers recognize the importance of viruses in a lot of
different microbes.
To see whether ß amyloid was similarly lethal, the team tested it in lab dishes on a suite of
different microbes, including the yeast Candida albicans, and bacteria like Escherichia coli and several different strains of Streptococcus.
Taken together, the animal data suggest that a range of
different microbes can induce amyloid plaques to form, Tanzi says.
Grapes grown for Cabernet Sauvignon in the Central Coast have
different microbes than those grown in Sonoma or the North San Joaquin Valley, for example.
The researchers also tested
the different microbes» performance with minimal pretreatment of the plant materials, indicating it may be possible to reduce or eliminate use of heat and chemicals that make the feedstock accessible to biological processing.
The isotope data was not conclusive enough, and even the sophisticated site preference technique did not provide enough information to tease out the relative roles of
different microbes.
All of
the different microbes as discussed above, including Canine Influenza and Canine Cough (Kennel Cough) can involve pathogens that are under 5 µ in size.
