Microbiota are a promising and fascinating subject in biology
because they integrate the microbial communities in humans,
animals, plants, and the environment. In humans, microbiota are
associated with the gut, skin, and genital, oral, and respiratory
organs. The plant microbial community is referred to as
"holobiont," and it is influential in the maintenance and health of
plants, which themselves play a role in animal health and the
environment. The contents of Microbiome-Host Interactions cover all
areas as well as new research trends in the fields of plant,
animal, human, and environmental microbiome interactions. The book
covers microbiota in polar soil environments, in health and
disease, in Caenorhabditis elegans, and in agroecosystems, as well
as in rice root and actinorhizal root nodules, speleothems, and
marine shallow-water hydrothermal vents. Moreover, this book
provides comprehensive accounts of advanced next-generation DNA
sequencing, metagenomic techniques, high-throughput 16S rRNA
sequencing, and understanding nucleic acid sequence data from
fungal, algal, viral, bacterial, cyanobacterial, actinobacterial,
and archaeal communities using QIIME software (Quantitative
Insights into Microbial Ecology). FEATURES Summarizes recent
insight in microbiota and host interactions in distinct habitats,
including Antarctic, hydrothermal vents, speleothems, oral, skin,
gut, feces, reproductive tract, soil, root, root nodules, forests,
and mangroves Illustrates the high-throughput amplicon sequencing,
computational techniques involved in the microbiota analysis,
downstream analysis and visualization, and multivariate analysis
commonly used for microbiome analysis Describes probiotics and
prebiotics in the composition of the gut microbiota, skin
microbiome impact in dermatologic disease prevention, and microbial
communities in the reproductive tract of humans and animals
Presents information in a reachable way for students, teachers,
researchers, microbiologists, computational biologists, and other
professionals who are interested in strengthening or enlarging
their knowledge about microbiome analysis with next-generation DNA
sequencing in the different branches of the sciences
