TL;DR: It is concluded that the fecal microbiota of the elderly shows temporal stability over limited time in the majority of subjects but is characterized by unusual phylum proportions and extreme variability.
Journal ArticleDOI
Genomics of Actinobacteria: Tracing the Evolutionary History of an Ancient Phylum
Marco Ventura,Carlos Canchaya,Andreas Tauch,Govind Chandra,Gerald F. Fitzgerald,Keith F. Chater,Douwe van Sinderen +6 more
TL;DR: An account of the recent explosion of actinobacterial genomics data is provided and an attempt to place this in a biological and evolutionary context.
Journal ArticleDOI
Food fermentations: role of microorganisms in food production and preservation.
TL;DR: The role of lactic acid bacteria in many such fermentations and the mechanisms of antibiosis with particular reference to bacteriocins are outlined and a brief description of some important fermented foods from various countries are given.
Journal ArticleDOI
Fatty acids from fish: the anti-inflammatory potential of long-chain omega-3 fatty acids
TL;DR: Research has shown that reductions may be achieved in the incidence of many chronic diseases that involve inflammatory processes; most notably, these include cardiovascular diseases, inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis, but psychiatric and neurodegenerative illnesses are other examples.
