Microbial Metabolic Capacity for Intestinal Folate Production and Modulation of Host Folate Receptors

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2019
Microbial metabolites, including B complex vitamins contribute to diverse aspects of human health. Folate, or vitamin B9, refers to a broad category of biomolecules that include pterin, para-aminobenzoic acid (pABA), and glutamate subunits.

Folate catabolites in spot urine as non-invasive biomarkers of folate status during habitual intake and folic acid supplementation. [PDF]

, 2013
Folate status, as reflected by red blood cell (RCF) and plasma folates (PF), is related to health and disease risk. Folate degradation products para-aminobenzoylglutamate (pABG) and para-acetamidobenzoylglutamate (apABG) in 24 hour urine have recently ...

Biochemical and molecular mechanisms of folate transport in rat pancreas; interference with ethanol ingestion. [PDF]

PLoS ONE, 2011
Folic acid is an essential nutrient that is required for one-carbon biosynthetic processes and for methylation of biomolecules. Deficiency of this micronutrient leads to disturbances in normal physiology of cell.

Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.] grown under nitrogen deficiency exhibits a lower folate contents

Frontiers in Nutrition, 2023
Foxtail millet [Setaria italica (L.) P. Beauv.], as a rich source of folates, has been cultivated on arid infertile lands, for which N deficiency is one of the major issues. Growing environments might have a significant influence on cereal folate levels.

Expression Levels of the γ-Glutamyl Hydrolase I Gene Predict Vitamin B₉ Content in Potato Tubers

Agronomy, 2019
Biofortification of folates in staple crops is an important strategy to help eradicate human folate deficiencies. Folate biofortification using genetic engineering has shown great success in rice grain, tomato fruit, lettuce, and potato tuber.
