Structural and Functional Properties of Ingredient Composition in Kenkey Preparation: A Review

ChemFoodChem, EarlyView.
This review synthesizes three decades of research on kenkey, a fermented maize staple of West Africa. Examining the structural, functional, and nutritional properties that emerge from traditional fermentation and thermal processing, and identifying priorities for future research toward quality standardization and commercial development. ABSTRACT Kenkey,

Arbuscular mycorrhizal fungal community abundance, functions, and symbiotic interactions revealed by root metatranscriptomes

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
Paradigm shift: PCR‐free methods reveal 6–15‐fold higher arbuscular mycorrhizal (AM) fungal abundance than metabarcoding, exposing systematic underestimation across decades of research. Predictive power: AM fungal abundance serves as a community‐level trait that predicts crop yield under drought conditions.

Beyond “you are what you eat”: Unlocking gut microbiota‐mediated biotransformation of dietary phytochemicals

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
The “efficacy paradox” of phytochemicals, low bioavailability yet significant health benefits, is associated with gut microbiota, which biotransforms dietary precursors into bioactive metabolites, enabling systemic effects. Thus, health outcomes of diet depend not just on intake “the rainbow”, but on gut microbial metabolism, redefining “you are what ...

L‐EasyARG: A long‐read metagenomics tool for rapid antibiotic‐resistance‐gene profiling

iMetaOmics, EarlyView.
L‐EasyARG is a pipeline for long‐read metagenomic profiling of antibiotic resistance genes (ARGs) and their genetic context. It integrates ARG identification, plasmid and mobile genetic element (MGE) detection, taxonomic classification, and further identifies ARGs carried by human bacterial pathogens (HBPs) defined in the WHO and ESKAPE pathogen lists.

Metagenomic Association Analysis of Gut Symbiont Limosilactobacillus reuteri Without Host-Specific Genome Isolation

Frontiers in Microbiology, 2020
Limosilactobacillus reuteri is a model symbiont that colonizes the guts of vertebrates in studies on host adaptation of the gut symbiont. Previous studies have investigated host-specific phylogenetic and functional properties by isolating the genomic ...

Two stable gut microbiome guilds predict liver tumor class and treatment responses

iMeta, EarlyView.
Gut microbiome alterations are linked to hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC), yet taxon‐based biomarkers often lack reproducibility. Using shotgun metagenomics from 120 resectable HCC (MT) and 76 benign hepatic tumor controls (BT), we reconstructed a stable interaction‐based Two Competing Guilds model (HCC‐TCG) comprising 142 genomes organized into two ...

Comparative Amplicon and Shotgun Metagenome Profiling of Soil Microbial Communities in Kauri Forests Affected by Phytophthora agathidicida. [PDF]

Environ Microbiol Rep
Soils beneath symptomatic and asymptomatic kauri trees were analysed using LAMP, amplicon sequencing, shotgun metagenomics, and PICRUSt2. LAMP detected Phytophthora agathidicida in 39/60 samples, while shotgun metagenomics detected it at low abundance across all samples.

ChloroScan: Recovering Plastid Genome Bins From Metagenomic Data. [PDF]

Mol Ecol Resour
ABSTRACT Genome‐resolved metagenomics has contributed greatly to discovering prokaryotic genomes. When applied to microscopic eukaryotes (protists), challenges such as the high number of introns and repeat regions found in nuclear genomes have hampered the mining and discovery of novel protistan lineages.
