The Association of Diet, Intestinal Microbial Starch Utilizers and Butyrate‐Producers in Early Life
In vitro, resistant starch cross‐feeding of A. hallii with R. bromii yielded higher amounts of butyrate than with B. adolescentis. At the same time, infants that harboured both starch utilizer and A. hallii had higher faecal butyrate levels than those without these species.

Mucin glycoproteins play a vital role in body’s defense system yet remain underexplored due to their structural complexity and tendency to crosslink. Animal-derived mucins feature non-human glycosylation whilst synthetic mucin-mimetics often lack the ...

ABSTRACT The interplay between diet, gut microbiota, and host immunity is central to food science. The Lachnospiraceae family ferments dietary fibers to produce short‐chain fatty acids (SCFAs), notably butyrate and propionate, with immunomodulatory potential. This critical review distinguishes established findings from hypotheses.

ABSTRACT Food processing must transition toward resource‐efficient systems that operate within planetary boundaries. Cereals, as climate‐resilient staples, offer strong potential to valorize nutrient‐rich fractions. Zero‐waste biorefinery concepts and green fractionation technologies, integrated with structure–function principles, enable the conversion

Human Milk vs. Cow’s Milk and the Evolution of Infant Formulas
Until the early 20th century, a wet nurse was the only safe alternative to breastfeeding, one reason being that each species has a unique composition of its milk. When techniques for chemical analyses of milks and assessment of the energy requirements of

ABSTRACT The increasing demand for protein‐enriched foods has renewed interest in farinaceous products as widely consumed and technologically adaptable matrices for nutritional improvement. However, protein enrichment cannot be evaluated solely by increases in crude protein content, as nutritional value depends on essential amino acid (EAA) balance ...

To investigate effector functions in Zymoseptoria tritici, we transiently expressed seven candidate effectors in the non‐host Nicotiana benthamiana. Responses reflected a combination of immune recognition and potential conserved activities, and primarily serve to prioritize candidates for validation in the native wheat–Z. tritici interaction.

From Dysbiosis to Disease: How Vaginal Microbiota Shape Group B Streptococcus Pathogenesis
Lactobacillus crispatus plays a critical role in the vaginal microbiome. Limiting glucose shifts metabolism toward HMO consumption and amino acid metabolism. These actions enable alkali production and competition. Homeostasis, characterized by dense Lactobacilli colonization and suppression of pathogens, provides resistance to dysbiosis.

Human milk oligosaccharides and Bifidobacterium species
Several bacterial species initially colonise the infant gut, but are outcompeted. Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOs) in breast milk create an environment for Bifidobacterium to flourish. Laursen and Roager recently showed a clear link between breast milk and the dominance of Bifidobacterium longum subsp. infantis in the infant gut.
