This study investigates BSH activity in human gut bacteria and finds that some strains can directly dehydrogenate conjugated bile acids to produce conjugated secondary bile acids, challenging the idea that deconjugation is a prerequisite for further modifications.

This study identifies genetic links between gut microbiota, lipids, and host transcripts in mice, revealing key roles for Akkermansia muciniphila and ornithine lipids in microbe-host interactions.

Autometa improves microbial genome binning in metagenomes by automating clustering and taxonomic partitioning, outperforming existing methods in complex datasets.
