Innovation in cultivated meat development has been rapidly accelerating in recent years
because it holds the potential to help attenuate issues facing production of dietary protein for …

Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) play a critical role in food, agricultural, and clinical applications.
The fast growing characteristics of LAB and their metabolic activity have been the key in …

Mucin-degrading microbes are known to harbor glycosyl hydrolases (GHs) which cleave
specific glycan linkages. Although several microbial species have been identified as mucin …

Many microorganisms live in communities and depend on metabolites secreted by fellow
community members for survival. Yet our knowledge of interspecies metabolic …

Bacterial metabolism plays a fundamental role in gut microbiota ecology and host–
microbiome interactions. Yet the metabolic capabilities of most gut bacteria have remained …

Human milk oligosaccharides (HMOS) are not digested in the proximal intestine. In distal
intestine, HMOS collectively modify the microbiota, but the response of individual bacteria to …

Gut microbes can synthesize multiple neuro-active metabolites. We profiled neuro-active
compounds produced by the gut commensal Bacteroides ovatus in vitro and in vivo by LC …

Human milk contains large amounts of complex oligosaccharides that putatively modulate
the intestinal microbiota of breast-fed infants by acting as decoy binding sites for pathogens …

Microorganisms grow in concert, both in natural communities and in artificial or synthetic co-
cultures. Positive interactions between associated microbes are paramount to achieve …

Interest in the communication between the gastrointestinal tract and central nervous system,
known as the gut–brain axis, has prompted the development of quantitative analytical …
