NewsKeto diet reduces friendly gut bacteria and raises cholesterol levels
The ketogenic diet raises cholesterol levels, particularly in small and medium sized LDL particles, and alters gut microbiome composition, decreasing beneficial bacteria often found in probiotics, a new study reveals.

NewsResearchers unlock gateway to open up more bacterial species for research
Researchers have introduced a novel approach that can make many more bacteria amenable to genetic engineering. Their method, called IMPRINT, uses cell-free systems to enhance DNA transformation across various bacterial strains.

NewsInfant gut microbes have their own circadian rhythm
Infant gut microbiomes oscillate with a circadian rhythm, even when they are cultivated outside of the body. Meanwhile, diet has less impact on the development and composition of the infant microbiome than previously thought.

NewsNew research lays groundwork for personalized dietary supplements
Researchers used fluorescence-labeled inulin-grafted nanoparticles to track the interaction of inulin with gut bacteria - when incubated with human stool samples, a wider range of gut bacteria thatn previously assumed were found to bind to inulin.
