Nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications for the sotol plant (Asparagaceae, Convallarioideae): A review

PLANTS, PEOPLE, PLANET, EarlyView.
Sotol (Dasylirion spp.) is a resilient desert plant that sustains ecosystems, cultures and livelihoods in Chihuahua Desert. Our review highlights its nutritional properties, traditional uses and potential new applications in food, pharmaceuticals, renewable energy and water remediation. By synthesizing evidence across disciplines, we show how sotol can

Marine yeast isolation and industrial application [PDF]

, 2014
Over the last century, terrestrial yeasts have been widely used in various industries, such as baking, brewing, wine, bioethanol and pharmaceutical protein production. However, only little attention has been given to marine yeasts. Recent research showed

Inulin‐Butyrate Nanogel for Modulation of Gut Microbiome, Intestinal Barrier, and Regulatory T‐Cells in Colitis

Small, EarlyView.
IBD is driven by a vicious cycle of dysbiosis, barrier dysfunction, and immune dysregulation. We developed an inulin–butyrate conjugate nanogel (IBN) that accumulates in inflamed colon and releases butyrate via microbial inulinase/esterase. The inulin shell remodels the microbiome, while localized butyrate strengthens barrier integrity and promotes ...

Modeling the lung‒brain axis in critical illness: Multifactorial crosstalk through organoids and organ‐on‐a‐chip system

VIEW, EarlyView.
Patients in intensive care units often experience lung injuries, complicated by brain problems. Advanced laboratory tools, organoids, and organs‐on‐chips facilitated the study of multiorgan interactions, help us understand the communication between the lungs and brain.

Arabinoxylans, inulin and Lactobacillus reuteri 1063 repress the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli from mucus in a musosa-comprising gut model [PDF]

, 2016
The microbiota that colonises the intestinal mucus may particularly affect human health given its proximity to the epithelium. For instance, the presence of the adherent-invasive Escherichia coli (AIEC) in this mucosal microbiota has been correlated with

Hevea brasiliensis seeds: A novel sustainable feedstock for ethanol production

Vietnam Journal of Chemistry, EarlyView.
Abstract The rubber tree (Hevea brasiliensis) is cultivated on a large scale mainly for the extraction of latex in Brazil and Southeast Asia, also generating large quantities of seeds. These seeds currently do not have large‐scale applications and may thus be considered as a residue.

Chicory inulin efficacy and metabolic mechanism in piglet-derived lactic acid bacteria: Unveiling the synbiotic potential of Lactiplantibacillus plantarum YT640 and inulin

Carbohydrate Polymer Technologies and Applications
Chicory-derived fermentable dietary fiber, Orafti® Inulin, is considered as a prebiotic in animal husbandry. This study investigated the fermentative capabilities of 308 lactic acid bacteria strains, obtained from fecal samples of healthy piglets pre ...

Comparison of Three Sympatric Desert Lizards: Digestive Tract Structure, Digestive Enzyme Activities, Gut Microbiota, and Metabolites

Integrative Zoology, EarlyView.
We performed 16S rDNA sequencing and metabolite profiling for three sympatric lizard species—Teratoscincus roborowskii, Phrynocephalus axillaris, and Eremias roborowskii—and compared their goblet cell and enzyme activities in the digestive tract. Our study suggests that the dietary niche may promote divergence or convergence of microbiota across host ...

Dietary supplementation with inulin improves burn-induced skeletal muscle atrophy by regulating gut microbiota disorders

Scientific Reports
Inulin, as a prebiotic, could modulate the gut microbiota. Burn injury leads to gut microbiota disorders and skeletal muscle catabolism. Therefore, whether inulin can improve burn-induced muscle atrophy by regulating microbiota disorders remains unknown.
