This study subjected Eriocheir sinensis to chronic high-pH stress (control: pH=8; experimental groups: pH=9 and pH=10) and integrated hepatopancreas transcriptomic/metabolomic analyses with intestinal microbiota 16S rRNA sequencing to explore its adaptive mechanisms. The results revealed distinct...
BACKGROUND: Chicken meat has become a major source of protein for human consumption. However, the quality of the meat is not yet under control, especially since pH values that are too low or too high are often observed. In an attempt to get a better understanding of the genetic a...
AIM: Low-molecular-weight organic substances (LMWOSs) are at the nexus between micro-organisms, plant roots, detritus and the soil mineral matrix. The nominal oxidation state of carbon (NOSC) has been suggested as a potential parameter for modelling microbial uptake rates of LMWO...
The gut microbiota is implicated in adverse effects associated with low-calorie sweeteners. Yet, the direct impact of sweeteners on gut bacteria has not been systematically assessed. Here we report interactions between 25 phylogenetically diverse gut bacterial strains and 39 commercially used swe...
Starch is a primary food ingredient and bulk industrial feedstock. Producing starch through fermentation-based low-carbon microbial manufacturing serves as an arable land-independent and carbon-neutral/negative approach, while the efficiency of this route is highly d...
