      Obesity and inactivity are major risk factors of feline diabetes mellitus (FDM) and human type II diabetes mellitus (T2DM). In recent years, changes in the gut microbiota have been suggested as a contributing factor to ...
    • Genome-resolved metagenomics suggests a mutualistic relationship between Mycoplasma and salmonid hosts 

      Rasmussen, Jacob A.; Villumsen, Kasper Rømer; Duchêne, David; Puetz, Lara; Delmont, Tom; Sveier, Harald; von Gersdorff Jørgensen, Louise; Præbel, Kim; Martin, Michael David; Bojesen, Anders Miki; Gilbert, Marcus Thomas Pius; Kristiansen, Karsten; Limborg, Morten T. (Peer reviewed; Journal article, 2021)
      Salmonids are important sources of protein for a large proportion of the human population. Mycoplasma species are a major constituent of the gut microbiota of salmonids, often representing the majority of microbiota. Despite ...
