An activated carbon catalyst having weak acid sites hydrolyzes chitin to chitin‐oligosaccharides selectively in the presence of mechanical milling. Our system preferentially cleaves large molecules over small oligomers, thus maximizing the selectivity and yield of chitin‐oligosaccharides.

Regulatory effect of gut microbes on blood pressure
The interaction between gut microbiota and hypertension, the genera which affect the blood pressure in taxonomic level, and the commonly used treatments to hypertension based on the gut microbes were summarized in this review. The increases of Lactobacillus, etc.

Prebiotic Chemistry: The Role of Trimetaphosphate in Prebiotic Chemical Evolution
Life’s origins have always been a scientific puzzle. Understanding the production of biomolecules is crucial for understanding the evolution of life on Earth. Numerous studies on trimetaphosphate have been conducted in the field of prebiotic chemistry.

Prebiotics are non-digestible food ingredients that promote the growth of beneficial gut microorganisms and foster their activities. The performance of prebiotics has often been tested in mouse models in which the gut ecology differs from that of humans.

Is Struvite a Prebiotic Mineral? [PDF]
The prebiotic relevance of mineral struvite, MgNH4PO4·6H2O, was studied experimentally as a phosphorylating reagent and, theoretically, to understand the geochemical requirements for its formation. The effectiveness of phosphorylation by the phosphate mineral, monetite, CaHPO4, was also studied to compare to the efficiency of struvite.

PREBIOTICS AND PROBIOTICS [PDF]
Intestinal flora encompasses at least 500 different types of bacteria living in symbiosis with their host. The dominant microflora in the stomach is Gram-positive bacteria; while in the distal small intestine and the colon is Gram-negative type. The most important intestinal bacteria are bacteroides, bifidobacteria, Enterobacteraceae, lactobacilli ...

Gastrointestinal effects of prebiotics [PDF]
The defining effect of prebiotics is to stimulate selectively the growth of bifidobacteria and lactobacilli in the gut and, thereby, increase the body's natural resistance to invading pathogens. Prebiotic carbohydrates may also have additional, less specific, benefits because they are fermented in the large intestine.

Hydrogen Drives Part of the Reverse Krebs Cycle under Metal or Meteorite Catalysis
Hydrogen is a geological reducing agent that powers the metabolisms of modern organisms and potentially also powered the metabolism of the last universal common ancestor to all extant life. It is shown that catalytic amounts of transition metals or small amounts of powdered meteorites allow hydrogen to drive a key sequence of the reverse Krebs cycle ...

Novel Effects Associated with the Use of Probiotics, Synbiotics and Prebiotics
To maintain the wellbeing of the human gut, the role of its microflora and their metabolites is fundamental. Probiotics is a Greek term, which is used to define non-living microbes that are beneficial in nature and exert numerous advantages on the host ...

Research Progress on the Interaction between Soybean Prebiotics and the Gut Microbiota and Its Health Effects [PDF]
Human health is closely related to the gut microbiota. Gut microbiota disorders can lead to various diseases including colitis, food allergy, obesity, and constipation.
