A Jungle in There: Bacteria in Belly Buttons are Highly Diverse, but Predictable

PLoS ONE, 7(11), e47712.

By: J. Hulcr n, A. Latimer*, J. Henley*, N. Rountree n, N. Fierer*, A. Lucky n, M. Lowman*, R. Dunn n

Contributors: J. Hulcr n, A. Latimer*, J. Henley*, N. Rountree n, N. Fierer*, A. Lucky n, M. Lowman*, R. Dunn n

Ed(s): C. Moreau

MeSH headings : Archaea / genetics; Bacteria / genetics; Humans; Molecular Typing; Phylogeny; RNA, Archaeal / genetics; RNA, Bacterial / genetics; RNA, Ribosomal, 16S / genetics; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Umbilicus / microbiology
TL;DR: The hypothesis that “oligarchs” dominate diverse assemblages appears to be supported by human-associated bacteria, as shown in the analysis of bacteria and arachaea from the belly buttons of humans sampled within a nation-wide citizen science project. (via Semantic Scholar)

Mycangia of Ambrosia Beetles Host Communities of Bacteria

MICROBIAL ECOLOGY, 64(3), 784–793.

By: J. Hulcr*, N. Rountree n, S. Diamond n, L. Stelinski*, N. Fierer* & R. Dunn n

Contributors: J. Hulcr*, N. Rountree n, S. Diamond n, L. Stelinski*, N. Fierer* & R. Dunn n

MeSH headings : Ambrosia; Animals; Bacteria / classification; Bacteria / genetics; Bacteria / isolation & purification; Coleoptera / classification; Coleoptera / microbiology; Coleoptera / ultrastructure; DNA, Bacterial / analysis; DNA, Ribosomal; Ecosystem; Sequence Analysis, DNA; Species Specificity; Symbiosis
TL;DR: It is concluded that ambrosia beetles are not obligately dependent on bacterial symbionts, and the mycangium hosts in multiple vertically transmitted bacteria such as Mycoplasma, most of which are likely facultative commensals or parasites. (via Semantic Scholar)
