TL;DR: An overview of the most recent advances in the knowledge of the microbial bioconversion of the chemical components indark tea, including the chemical composition of dark tea, microbial community composition and dynamics during the fermentation process, and the role of microorganisms in biotransformation of chemical constituents is provided.

TL;DR: Wang et al. as discussed by the authors found that green tea contained the highest concentrations of total catechins, (−)-epicatechin gallate (ECG) and (−-epigallocatechin gallates (EGCG), while oolong teas were the most abundant among these five types of teas.

TL;DR: It is demonstrated that FTEs have anti-obesity and hypolipidemic functions, suggesting that it might be effective for treatment of obesity and hyperlipemia.

TL;DR: This study revealed fungal succession, metabolite changes and their relationships, provided new insights into the mechanisms for manufacturing process of Fu brick tea.

TL;DR: Gene expression profiling showed that the transcript abundance of flavonoid biosynthetic genes followed a tightly regulated biphasic pattern, and was affected by albinism.
