The intestinal microbiome influences health and disease. Its composition is affected by host genetics environmental exposures. Understanding genetic effects critical but challenging in humans, due to the difficulty of detecting, mapping interpreting them. To address this, we analysed four cohorts outbred laboratory rats exposed distinct controlled environments. We found that polygenic were consistent across identified three replicated microbiome-associated loci. One involved a...
Abstract Gallic acid is a powerful antioxidant with multiple therapeutic applications, usually obtained from the acidic hydrolysis of tannins produced by many plants. As this process generates considerable amount toxic waste, use tannases or tannase-producing microorganisms has become greener alternative over last years. However, their high costs still impose some barriers for industrial scalability, requiring solutions that could be both and cost-effective. Since Pseudomonas putida KT2440...
