The Preliminary Study on the Association Between PAHs and Air Pollutants and Microbiota Diversity

Impact of the environment on the microbiome

“…PAHs can disrupt signaling pathways by microbiota imbalance, like a purine and lipid metabolism, a folate carbon reservoir, and pyrimidine metabolites which contribute to public health problems. 36 …”

Review article: Epidemiological and animal evidence for the role of air pollution in intestinal diseases

“…The last study investigated the association between atmospheric PAH exposure and the diversity of microbiota (Hu et al, 2020). The authors detected a positive correlation between the abundance of the genus Micrococcus within Actinobacteria and levels of high molecular weight PAHs such as dibenzo(a,h)anthracene and indeno(1,2,3-cd) pyrene.…”

Lactate-mediated medium-chain fatty acid production from expired dairy and beverage waste

“…S4). Lactobacillus and Lacticaseibacillus are known for their capability of converting sugars and other organics into lactic acid [ 15 , 42 ], while Prevotella 7 have been reported to be correlated with lipid and carbohydrate metabolism to produce odd-chain fatty acid (OCFA) [ 43 , 44 ]. For the lactate-mediated chain elongation process, using dairy waste as the initial feed and inoculum source might be a good strategy for the fast enrichment of lactate-producing microbes in the fermentation reactor.…”
