A synthetic microbial consortium protects against obesity by regulating vitamin B6 metabolism

Gut Microbes
Constructing synthetic microbial consortia is a challenging task but holds enormous potential for various applications. Our previous droplet-based microfluidic approach allowed for the isolation of bacteria that could utilize metabolites from an ...

The role of the gut microbiome in the regulation of high‐altitude adaptation

iMeta, EarlyView.
This study is the first to elucidate mechanisms of high‐altitude adaptation from the perspective of the rumen ecosystem by using indigenous yaks and Holstein cows that have lived at high altitude since birth as comparative models. Through a systematic comparison of their rumen ecology using multi‐omics approaches—including rumen metagenomics ...

Reconstitution of dominant kombucha strains to enhance functional properties and product quality

Frontiers in Nutrition
IntroductionPrevious studies have shown that yeasts, acetic acid bacteria, and lactic acid bacteria (LAB) dominate the fermentation of kombucha. However, the functional contributions of defined microbial combinations remain insufficiently characterized ...

Lignocellulose-degrading microbial consortia

, 2018
Lignocellulose biomass (LCB) represents a cheap source of carbon that can be transformed into valuable (energy) compounds. Nevertheless, its application at large scale is still limited to date. The aims of this thesis were (1) to generate a better understanding of the driving forces in the selection of specialized lignocellulolytic microbial consortia,

Construction of a clickable probe‐based protein chip platform for discovering covalent mIDH1 inhibitors from natural medicinal extracts

iMeta, EarlyView.
In this study, we develop a flexible Ccc‐Chip (protein microarray + bioorthogonal click chemistry) for high‐throughput screening of natural covalent active molecules from medicinal plant extracts, identifying flavokawain C from Piper methysticum Forst as a novel covalent mIDH1 inhibitor.

Screening of microbial consortium with high efficiency of lignin-degrading and its synergistic metabolic mechanism

Frontiers in Microbiology
IntroductionLignin is difficult to degrade, which makes its high-value utilization a challenge. So finding an efficient method to degrade lignin is very important.

Wild Animal Suffering Is Not Intractable: A Precautionary Approach to Compassionate Intervention

Journal of Applied Philosophy, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Wild animals suffer due to human activity, yet natural factors contribute far more significantly to their suffering. In light of this, some propose that we have a pro tanto obligation to intervene in ecosystems to improve wild animal welfare.

Using generalized quantitative structure–property relationship (QSPR) models to predict host cell protein retention in ion‐exchange chromatography

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Selecting an optimal chromatography resin during biopharmaceutical downstream process development is a great challenge. This is especially the case for recombinant subunit vaccines, where product properties vary greatly and recovery often involves cell lysis, which yields a complex mixture of different host cell materials. Host cell

Bioelectrochemical single reactor for reductive and oxidative removal of trichloroethylene from contaminated groundwater

Journal of Chemical Technology &Biotechnology, EarlyView.
Abstract BACKGROUND Chlorinated aliphatic hydrocarbons such as trichloroethylene (TCE) are persistent groundwater contaminants due to improper disposal and low biodegradability. This work presents an innovative bioelectrochemical system for the integrated reductive/oxidative removal of TCE from contaminated water, implemented in a single tubular ...
