Article Synopsis
- Paocai is a traditional Chinese fermented vegetable, and researchers are using specific lactic acid bacteria starters to enhance its fermentation quality compared to natural methods.
- The study found that inoculated fermentation results in better control over nitrite levels, pH, and total titratable acidity while also increasing volatile organic compounds and free amino acids that contribute to flavor.
- Analysis showed that key bacteria like Lactobacillus and Weissella play essential roles in influencing the flavor and chemical properties of paocai, with identified metabolic pathways helping produce various flavor compounds.

Aim: Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are being studied as potential biomarkers in many infections. Therefore, this study aimed to analyze the volatile profile of three Gram-positive bacteria of clinical relevance to identify potential volatile biomarkers that allow their differentiation.

Article Synopsis
- The study investigated the connection between short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) and metabolic dysfunction-associated steatotic liver disease (MASLD) by examining plasma SCFA levels in 100 MASLD patients and 50 healthy controls.
- Results showed that MASLD patients had higher levels of certain SCFAs like propionate, formate, and valerate, while acetate levels were significantly lower compared to healthy individuals.
- The findings suggest that SCFA levels are linked to MASLD and its severity, indicating a need for further research on how gut microbiota may impact this condition and potential treatment options.
Volatile organic compounds of the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans suppress pathogens and elicit defense-responsive genes in plants.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) produced by bacteria play an important, yet relatively unexplored role in interactions between plants and phytopathogens. In this study, the soil bacterium Bacillus halotolerans NYG5 was identified as a potent biocontrol agent against several phytopathogenic fungi (Macrophomina phaseolina, Rhizoctonia solani, Pythium aphanidermatum, and Sclerotinia sclerotiorum) through the production of VOCs. NYG5-emitted VOCs also inhibited the growth of bacterial pathogens (Agrobacterium tumefaciens, Xanthomonas campestris, Clavibacter michiganensis, and Pseudomonas syringae).

Associations between measured specific VOC reported to be associated with dampness and microbial growth in dwellings and asthma, lung function were investigated in 159 adults (one adult/home) from three North European cities (Reykjavik, Uppsala and Tartu). Spirometry was performed and forced vital capacity (FVC), forced expiratory volume in 1 s (FEV) and FEV/FVC were measured. Among 159 participants, 58% were females, 24.
