Large Quantities of Bacterial DNA and Protein in Common Dietary Protein Source Used in Microbiome Studies
Bartlett, A., Blakeley-Ruiz, A., Richie, T., Theriot, C., & Kleiner, M. (2023, December 7).
TL;DR:
Large quantities of microbial DNA and protein are found in casein-based diets, which highlight the necessity of evaluating diet samples in diet-microbiota studies to ensure that potential microbial content of the diet can be accounted for in microbiome measurements.

2022 journal article
Morphine and high-fat diet differentially alter the gut microbiota composition and metabolic function in lean versus obese mice
ISME Communications, 2(1).
Contributors: J. Blakeley-Ruiz *
TL;DR:
Investigating the microbiome and host inflammatory responses to chronic opioid administration in genetically obese, diet-induced obese, and lean mice identified novel host-dependent phenotypes, differentiated the effects of genetic obesity versus diet induced obesity on gut microbiome composition and function, and showed that chronic morphine administration altered the gut microbiome.

2019 journal article
Combining integrated systems-biology approaches with intervention-based experimental design provides a higher-resolution path forward for microbiome research
Behavioral and Brain Sciences.
TL;DR:
This commentary extends their review of microbiota-gut-brain literature by highlighting capabilities of advanced systems-biology “-omics” techniques for microbiome research and recommending that combining these high-resolution techniques with intervention-based experimental design may be the path forward for future MGB research.

2019 journal article
Metaproteomics reveals persistent and phylum-redundant metabolic functional stability in adult human gut microbiomes of Crohn’s remission patients despite temporal variations in microbial taxa, genomes, and proteomes
Microbiome.
author keywords: Gut microbiome; Metaproteomics; Crohn's disease; Longitudinal analyses; Microbial metabolic function; Human microbiome
MeSH headings : Acetylglucosamine / analysis; Adult; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / metabolism; Crohn Disease / microbiology; Crohn Disease / surgery; Cytidine Monophosphate N-Acetylneuraminic Acid / analysis; Fatty Acids, Volatile / analysis; Feces / microbiology; Female; Gastrointestinal Microbiome / genetics; Gastrointestinal Microbiome / physiology; Humans; Male; Middle Aged; Proteome / metabolism; Proteomics; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics
TL;DR:
Examining metaproteomes measured in several Crohn’s disease patients’ post-resection surgery across the course of 1 year suggests that microbial membership composition may not be the best way to characterize a phenotype and suggests it seems to be more informative to examine and characterize the functional composition of a gut microbiome.
