Abstract Water kefir (WK) is an artisanal fermented beverage made from sugary water, optional fruits and WK grains. grains can be reused to start new fermentations. Here we investigate the microbial composition function of 69 their ferments by shotgun metagenomics. A subset samples was subjected metabolomic, including volatilomic, analysis. The impact different fermentation practices on characteristics analysed it noted that, for example, common practice drying water significantly reduces...
ABSTRACT Microorganisms are ubiquitous in nature and central to human, animal, environmental, planetary health. They play a particularly important role the food chain production of high-quality, safe, health-promoting foods, especially fermented foods. This is not always apparent members public. Here, we describe Kefir4All, citizen science project designed provide general public with an opportunity expand their awareness, knowledge, practical skills relating microbiology, introduced through...

Abstract Key Message The C. roseus ZCTs are jasmonate-responsive, can be induced by CrMYC2a, and act as significant regulators of the terpenoid indole alkaloid pathway when highly expressed. Catharanthus is sole known producer anti-cancer alkaloids (TIAs), vinblastine vincristine. While enzymatic steps have been elucidated, an understanding its regulation still emerging. present study characterizes important subgroup Cys2-His2 zinc finger transcription factors Z inc T ranscription (ZCTs) ....
