Correction: Longitudinal microbiome profiling reveals Impermanence of probiotic bacteria in domestic pigeons

longitudinal microbiome profiling reveals Impermanence of probiotic bacteria in domestic pigeons
PLOS ONE, 2019Co-Authors: Kirsten Grond, Julie M Perreau, James A Spring, Colleen M Cavanaugh, Sarah M HirdAbstract:Probiotics are bacterial species or assemblages that are applied to animals and plants with the intention of altering the microbiome in a beneficial way. Probiotics have been linked to positive health effects such as faster disease recovery times in humans and increased weight gain in poultry. Pigeon fanciers often feed their show pigeons probiotics with the intention of increasing flight performance. The objective of our study was to determine the effect of two different probiotics, alone and in combination, on the fecal microbiome of Birmingham Roller pigeons. We sequenced fecal samples from 20 pigeons divided into three probiotic treatments, including prior to, during, and after treatment. Pre-treatment and control group samples were dominated by Actinobacteria, Firmicutes, Proteobacteria, and Cyanobacteria. Administration of a probiotic pellet containing Enterococcus faecium and Lactobacillus acidophilus resulted in increase in average relative abundance of Lactobacillus spp. from 4.7 ± 2.0% to 93.0 ± 5.3%. No significant effects of Enterococcus spp. were detected. Probiotic-induced shifts in the microbiome composition were temporary and disappeared within 2 days of probiotic cessation. Administration of a probiotic powder in drinking water that contained Enterococcus faecium and three Lactobacillus species had minimal effect on the microbiome. We conclude that supplementing Birmingham roller pigeons with the probiotic pellets, but not the probiotic powder, temporarily changed the microbiome composition. A next step is to experimentally test the effect of these changes in microbiome composition on host health and physical performance.

the Impermanence agent project and context
PAJ, 2002Co-Authors: Noah Wardripfruin, Brion MossAbstract:he Impermanence Agent explores a model for literature/art that is specific to the Internet-connected personal computer. It is not like a book, which we pick up and read. It is not like a painting, which we visit and inspect. It is not like a hypertext artwork, on which we click. And, similarly, it is not like a story on a Web page, a picture on a Web page, a Web-based hypertext, or any other standalone artwork that is intended for our full attention. Instead, The Impermanence Agent is an artwork that operates as functions of the user's Web browser. The browser is approached as a daily computer tool, in which the artwork becomes part of the daily browsing experience.

hypermedia eternal life and the Impermanence agent
Leonardo, 1999Co-Authors: Noah WardripfruinAbstract:We look to media as memory, and a place to memorialize, when we have lost. Hypermedia pioneers such as Ted Nelson and Vannevar Bush envisioned the ultimate media within the ultimate archive—with each element in continual flux, and with constant new addition. Dynamism without loss. Instead we have the Web, where “Not Found” is a daily message. Projects such as the Internet Archive and Afterlife dream of fixing this uncomfortable Impermanence. Marketeers promise that agents (indentured information servants that may be the humans of About.com or the software of “Ask Jeeves”) will make the Web comfortable through filtering—hiding the Impermanence and overwhelming profluence that the Web’s dynamism produces. The Impermanence Agent —a programmatic, esthetic, and critical project created by the author, Brion Moss, a.c. chapman, and Duane Whitehurst—operates differently. It begins as a storytelling agent, telling stories of Impermanence, stories of preservation, memorial stories. It monitors each user’s Web browsing, and starts customizing its storytelling by weaving in images and texts that the user has pulled from the Web. In time, the original stories are lost. New stories, collaboratively created, have taken their place.
