Multi-omics analysis of a traditional fermented food reveals a byproduct-associated subpopulation of Neurospora intermedia for waste-to-food upcycling

Abstract Fungal solid-state fermentation (SSF) of byproducts has promise for increasing food sustainability and security, but fungal waste-to-food upcycling remains poorly understood at the molecular level. Here we use a multi-omics approach to characterize oncom - a fermented food traditionally produced from byproducts in Java, Indonesia - as a model system for understanding fungal waste conversion.

Discovery and inhibition of an interspecies gut bacterial pathway for Levodopa metabolism

The dope on l-dopa metabolism The efficacy of l-dopa treatment for Parkinson's disease is hugely variable between individuals, depending on the composition of their microbiota. l-Dopa is decarboxylated into active dopamine, but if the gut microbiota metabolize l-dopa before it crosses the blood-brain barrier, medication is ineffective. Maini Rekdal et al. found that different species of bacterium are involved in l-dopa metabolism (see the Perspective by O'Neill).
