The Association of Diet, Intestinal Microbial Starch Utilizers and Butyrate‐Producers in Early Life

open access: yesEnvironmental Microbiology, Volume 28, Issue 11, November 2026.
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.

Human milk oligosaccharide conjugated dendritic polyglycerols as mucus-mimetic barriers for bacterial inhibition

open access: yesCommunications Materials
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 ...

Lachnospiraceae in the Food–Gut Axis: A Critical Review of Dietary Modulation, Immune Regulation, and Translational Barriers

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
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.

Cereal Biomass Valorization for Functional Food Ingredients: Fractionation and Circular Biorefinery Strategies

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
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

open access: yes, 2011
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

Conventional and Emerging Protein Ingredients in Farinaceous Products: Amino Acid Quality, Digestibility, Biological Value, and Functional Performance

open access: yesComprehensive Reviews in Food Science and Food Safety, Volume 25, Issue 6, November 2026.
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 ...

Assessing Zymoseptoria tritici Candidate Effectors in the Non‐Host Nicotiana benthamiana Reveals Immune Recognition and Potential Host‐Independent Activities

open access: yesMolecular Plant Pathology, Volume 27, Issue 11, November 2026.
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

open access: yesChemBioChem, Volume 27, Issue 20, 28 October 2026.
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

open access: yesTrends in Microbiology
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.
