TL;DR: This study revealed that seemingly chaotic shifts in the microbiome are associated with life events; however, additional experiments ought to be conducted to assess how different infants respond to similar life events.

TL;DR: It is indicated that host-microbial interactions that impact host metabolism can occur and may be beneficial in pregnancy and when transferred to germ-free mice, T3 microbiota induced greater adiposity and insulin insensitivity compared to T1.

TL;DR: There are several biological processing strategies that produce bioenergy or biochemicals while treating industrial and agricultural wastewater, including methanogenic anaerobic digestion, biological hydrogen production, microbial fuel cells and fermentation for production of valuable products, but there are also scientific and technical barriers to the implementation of these strategies.

TL;DR: It was found that the soluble COD (SCOD) removal efficiencies remained over 90% throughout the operational period, mainly because of methanogenic activity, which accounted for 35 to 58% of the SCOD removed at a loading rate of 1.0 g COD/L/ day.

TL;DR: To develop the carboxylate platform into an important system within biorefineries, it must understand the kinetic and thermodynamic possibilities of anaerobic pathways, understand the ecological principles underlying pathway alternatives, and develop superior separation technologies.
