Unlabelled: With its estrogenic activity, ()-equol plays an important role in maintaining host health and preventing estrogen-related diseases. Exclusive production occurs through the transformation of soy isoflavones by intestinal bacteria, but the reasons for variations in ()-equol production among different individuals and species remain unclear. Here, fecal samples from humans, pigs, chickens, mice, and rats were used as research objects.

With the progress of society and the rapid development of science and technology, computer translation technology has become an important auxiliary tool in the fields of software localization and technical translation. This realistic demand has prompted translators to pay more attention to computer translation and have made some useful explorations on this basis. This paper aims to study and discuss computer-aided translation systems based on the fusion of naive Bayesian algorithms.

Article Synopsis
  • ()-equol (EQ) is an isoflavone with significant estrogen-like effects produced only by certain gut bacteria, essential for health, but its production has been limited due to a lack of resources.
  • Researchers identified a novel functional gene, K-07020, from a specific gut bacterium that can convert daidzein into dihydrodaidzein and can also reverse this process without cofactors.
  • The study found that K-07020 potentially enhances EQ production and is widely distributed in human and animal guts, indicating promising avenues for understanding and manipulating EQ-producing bacteria.
