Article Synopsis
  • Phenylketonuria (PKU) is a metabolic disorder that requires dietary restrictions, which may affect gut and oral microbiota in children.
  • A study using 16S rRNA gene sequencing found significant differences in microbiota composition between children with PKU and healthy controls, with specific microbial populations being more abundant in each group.
  • The findings indicate that the dietary management of PKU leads to notable changes in gut and oral microbiota, suggesting a potential impact on treatment strategies and patient care.

The commercialization of DNA tagging is a growing trend that demonstrates the increasing practicality of this novel approach. This interdisciplinary technology is based on the distinctive characteristics of DNA as a molecule that can remain stable in varying environmental conditions and store data following appropriate preparation. Moreover, newly developed technologies could simplify DNA synthesis and the encoding of data within DNA.

Background: Succinic acid (SA), a valuable chemical compound with a broad range of industrial uses, has become a subject of global interest in recent years. The bio-based production of SA by highly efficient microbial producers from renewable feedstock is significantly important, regarding the current trend of sustainable development.

Results: In this study, a novel bacterial strain, LU2, was isolated from cow rumen and recognized as an efficient producer of SA from lactose.
