The replacement of the carbon source in the microbial production of itaconic acid (IA) with economic alternatives has attracted significant attention. In this study, an Aspergillus terreus CICC40205 mutant was used to increase the IA titer and decrease the citric acid titer in the wheat bran hydrolysate compared with the parental strain. The results showed that the IA titer was increased by 33.4%, whereas the citric acid titer was decreased by 75.8%, and were in accordance with those of the improved pathway of co-metabolism of glucose and xylose according to the metabolic flux analysis. Additionally, the maximum IA titer obtained in a 7-L stirred tank was 49.65gL±0.38gL. Overall, A. terreus CICC40205 showed a great potential for the industrial production of IA through the biotransformation of the wheat bran hydrolysate.

Mycophenolic acid (MPA) is an immunosuppressive/antibiotic drug, biologically produced by the fermentation of Penicillium brevicompactum as its secondary metabolite using submerged (SmF) and solid-state (SSF) fermentation processes. In this study, the SSF of (MTCC 1999) was done in optimised conditions to enhance MPA yield. Substrates including basmati and non-basmati rice, barley, oats, cornflakes, rice bran, and wheat bran were 80% moistened and sterilised.

Background: Globally, obesity trends are a serious public health concern. Adolescent obesity is associated with cardiometabolic risk and metabolic disorders in adolescence and may persist into adulthood. The current study was designed to explore the Dietary Approaches to Stop Hypertension (DASH) in adolescents and its relationship with obesity, insulin resistance, metabolic syndrome (MetS), and some inflammatory biomarkers.

Obesity and metabolic disorders are rising global health concerns, emphasizing the need for effective dietary interventions. High-viscosity dietary fibers such as bacterial cellulose (BC) and guar gum (GG) have unique properties that may complement each other in modulating gut microbiota and metabolic health. This study investigates their effects in high-fat diet-fed mice.

Inulin, a health-promoting dietary fiber, is efficiently metabolized by Weissella paramesenteroides YT175, a beneficial bacterium. The strain demonstrated a diauxic growth pattern within 48 h, reaching an optical density at 600 nm (OD) of approximately 1.5, accompanied by a significant decrease in pH to around 4.
