Environmental Temperatures Affect the Gastrointestinal Microbes of the Chinese Giant Salamander
An increasing number of studies have shown that warming also influences the animal gut microbiome (altering the community structure and decreasing its diversity), which might further impact host fitness. Here, based on an analysis of the stomach and gut (

Carnitine metabolism to trimethylamine by an unusual Rieske-type oxygenase from human microbiota [PDF]
Dietary intake of L-carnitine can promote cardiovascular diseases in humans through microbial production of trimethylamine (TMA) and its subsequent oxidation to trimethylamine N-oxide (TMAO) by hepatic flavin-containing monooxygenases.
