Recent studies have shown a complex relationship between gut microbiota and diarrheal illness; children with severe illness tend to have a less diverse microbiota and a predominance of specific genera of organisms (6 ).
The MIC method shows the range of disinfectant activity over a specific group, genera or strain of bacteria, suggesting the organism which should be used as a biological indicator (BI) to verify the specific chemical activity on a specific application.
For the foregoing reasons, these five cariogenic species from the three specific genera were chosen to form a multi-species cariogenic biofilm.
The increase observed for specific genera when exacerbation symptoms appear paralleled a decrease of the same magnitude in the relative abundance for genera unrelated to this exacerbation, without major changes in the remaining bronchial microbiota.
Moreover, metatranscriptome analysis enabled the discrimination of functional COG expression profiles of specific genera within the ecosystem, which provides a framework for further study aiming to unravel syntrophic relationships that are operating in complex microbial ecosystems.
As a result of the excellent preservation of amber arthropods, the ancestry of specific genera and families can be traced back to tens of millions of years.
However, it was not just merely orchid farming that we were interested in; what we wanted to do even more was to introduce some high-tech orchid culture and hybridization to intercross species of specific genera in order to produce new, complex, and even rare hybrids and propagate them.
We have furthermore avoided conclusions relating functional processes to specific genera or species, and have instead analyzed gene expression profiles at higher taxonomic levels.
While the summarized percentage of identified taxa at rank genus is roughly the same in both datasets, the actual abundance of specific genera differs between both datasets (Figure 3).
Although specific genera varied significantly in frequencies among the same and across different individuals, many had a consistent presence across most samples.
