Article Abstract
In this study, a novel pretreatment of cation exchange resin (CER) coupled NaCl addition was proposed to enhance waste activated sludge (WAS) hydrolysis and promote short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs) production in the anaerobic fermentation process. At the optimal pretreatment condition of 3 g/g SS CER and 15 g/L NaCl, considerable SCOD (i.e. 5107 mg/L, 35.4% of TCOD) was released after 2-day coupled treatment, which provided sufficient organic substance for the subsequent SCFAs production. The sludge hydrolysis mechanism was illustrated, i.e. CER triggered extracellular polymeric substances (EPS) disruption and NaCl induced microbial cells lysis. The synergistic interaction between CER and NaCl pretreatment was investigated and application potential of fermentative liquid was evaluated after the coupled pretreatment-enhanced anaerobic fermentation. In the presence of abundant biodegradable substrates in the fermentative liquid, 4742 mg COD/L (i.e. 388 mg COD/g VSS) of SCFAs production was achieved within 6-day anaerobic fermentation, mainly composed of acetic and propionic acids (70.4% of total SCFAs).

Mitochondria are the cellular powerhouses and are considered to be central to energy metabolism, dynamics, and homeostasis. There is growing evidence that the gut microbiome regulates mitochondrial biogenesis, dynamics (fission, fusion, mitoph-agy), and bioenergetics, and that it does so by connecting bacterial metabolites and signaling molecules. This review discusses the molecular mechanisms that underlie the interplay between bacteria and mitochondria, with a particular focus on the modulation of mitochondrial activities by microbial products, including bile acids, immunological mediators, and short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs).

To determine the fermentation capacity of gut microbiomes with diverse plant carbohydrate active enzyme (CAZyme) repertoires, we collected fecal samples from 18 healthy adults who reported consuming at least 5 different fruits and vegetables daily and conducted shotgun metagenome analysis. Five fecal samples with the most diverse CAZymes were then fermented with 7 different fibers selected for their unique monosaccharide profiles-banana, kale,13-bean soup, flax, coconut flour, MS Prebiotic (resistant starch) and Sunfiber (guar gum)-for 72 hours. Samples were collected at 4 timepoints for 16S sequencing, and pH, SCFAs, and monosaccharide measurements.

This study investigated fermentation-induced alterations in the structural and physicochemical properties of Brassica rapa L. polysaccharide (BRL-G) and their effects on gut microbiota composition. An in vitro continuous bioreactor system was used, combining ultrasound-microwave-assisted enzymatic extraction with fecal microbiota co-culture.

Background: Dietary fiber supports metabolic health via microbial fermentation, producing short-chain fatty acids (SCFAs). However, metabolic responses to fiber vary between individuals, potentially due to differences in gut microbiota composition. The Prevotella-to-Bacteroides (P/B) ratio has emerged as a potential biomarker for fiber responsiveness.
