Microbiol Spectr . 2023 Dec; 12(1):e0283023. PMID: 38095510
Ambrosia gall midges are endophagous insect herbivores whose larvae live enclosed within a single gall for their entire development period. They may exhibit phytomycetophagy, a remarkable feeding mode that involves...

Sigutova H, Pyszko P, Sigut M, Czajova K, Kostovcik M, Kolarik M, et al.
Microbiol Spectr . 2023 Nov; 12(1):e0299423. PMID: 37991377
The caterpillar gut is an excellent model system for studying host-microbiome interactions, as it represents an extreme environment for microbial life that usually has low diversity and considerable variability in...

Veselska T, Svec K, Kostovcik M, Peral-Aranega E, Garcia-Fraile P, Krizkova B, et al.
FEMS Microbiol Ecol . 2023 Jun; 99(8). PMID: 37370225
The European spruce bark beetle, Ips typographus, is a serious pest of spruce forests in Europe, and its invasion and development inside spruce tissues are facilitated by microorganisms. We investigated...

Peral-Aranega E, Saati-Santamaria Z, Ayuso-Calles M, Kostovcik M, Veselska T, Svec K, et al.
Environ Microbiome . 2023 Jun; 18(1):53. PMID: 37296446
Background: Ips typographus (European spruce bark beetle) is the most destructive pest of spruce forests in Europe. As for other animals, it has been proposed that the microbiome plays important...

Jackova Z, Stepan J, Coufal S, Kostovcik M, Galanova N, Reiss Z, et al.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2023 Apr; 14:1139056. PMID: 37033235
Aims: Ovarian hormone deficiency is one of the main risk factors for osteoporosis and bone fractures in women, and these risks can be mitigated by menopausal hormone therapy. Recent evidence...

Microbiol Spectr . 2023 Jan; 11(1):e0316022. PMID: 36629441
Microorganisms are key mediators of interactions between insect herbivores and their host plants. Despite a substantial interest in studying various aspects of these interactions, temporal variations in microbiomes of woody...

Vavreckova M, Galanova N, Kostovcik M, Krystynik O, Ivanovova E, Roubalova R, et al.
Front Endocrinol (Lausanne) . 2022 Sep; 13:970825. PMID: 36133313
Aims: Gestation is linked to changes in gut microbiota composition and function. Since gestational (GDM) can develop at any time of the pregnancy, we stratified the women into four groups...

Sigut M, Pyszko P, Sigutova H, Visnovska D, Kostovcik M, Kotaskova N, et al.
Sci Rep . 2022 Sep; 12(1):15552. PMID: 36114345
Despite an increasing number of studies on caterpillar (Insecta: Lepidoptera) gut microbiota, bacteria have been emphasized more than fungi. Therefore, we lack data on whether fungal microbiota is resident or...

Cells . 2020 Dec; 9(12). PMID: 33339337
Diet is a strong modifier of microbiome and mucosal microenvironment in the gut. Recently, components of western-type diets have been associated with metabolic and immune diseases. Here, we studied how...

FEMS Microbiol Ecol . 2020 Jun; 96(9). PMID: 32520323
Compared with the highly diverse microbiota of leaves, herbivorous insects exhibit impoverished gut microbial communities. Research to date has focused on the bacterial component of these gut microbiomes, neglecting the...
