Gut microbiome dysbiosis and honeybee health (2011, background): “A study illustrating this point, has been recently conducted by Hehemann et al. (2010).”
The Microbiome in Infectious Disease and Inflammation (2012, positive): “Seaweeds are major components of the Japanese diet; Bacteroides plebeius residing in the gut of Japanese individuals acquired the genes of enzymes that can metabolize the sulfated polysaccharide porphyran of marine algae through the horizontal transfer from marine bacteria naturally colonizing dieta”
The gut microbiota of insects - diversity in structure and function. (2013, background): “…human gut bacterium, Bacteroides plebeius, which acquired the capability, through lateral gene transfer, to degrade porphyrans, polysaccharides of marine red algae, an event that occurred specifically in Japanese populations that consume red algae, in sushi and other foods (Hehemann et al., 2010).”
Antimicrobial use in aquaculture re-examined: its relevance to antimicrobial resistance and to animal and human health. (2013, background): “…from aquatic bacteria is demonstrated by the ability of human intestinal Bacteroides to acquire genes needed for degradation of algal polysaccharides © 2013 John Wiley & Sons Ltd and Society for Applied Microbiology, Environmental Microbiology from aquatic bacteria (Hehemann et al., 2010; 2012).”
Computational meta'omics for microbial community studies (2013, background): “…as a public health concern, as convergent evolution of resistance polymorphisms (Croucher et al , 2011) and transient lateral transfer from less proximal environments (Hehemann et al , 2010; Forsberg et al , 2012) have both been observed for this phenotype and for other evolutionary pressures.”
Antibiotics and the gut microbiota. (2014, neutral): “In one example, specialized polysaccharide degradation genes from marine bacteria were identified in microbiota of Japanese individuals, likely as a consequence of bacterial interactions facilitated by seaweed consumption by humans over hundreds of years (64).”
Defining the Human Microbiome (2012, background): “Why would a marine gene be found in human gut? The authors concluded that the seaweed common to the Japanese, but not American, diet contained the microorganism which transferred the genes to gut microbiome[57].”
