Raw

bacteria can reduce chlorate already present in the

chain. A new paper in Access Microbiology uses shotgun
#metagenomics
to track how raw milk microbial communities & genes respond to chlorate at 4 °C and 25 °C, with clear reductions over time. 📰

Water kefir can help researchers study fermented foods more clearly. A new paper in 𝐧𝐩𝐣 𝐁𝐢𝐨𝐟𝐢𝐥𝐦𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐌𝐢𝐜𝐫𝐨𝐛𝐢𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐬 shows how this relatively simple bacteria and yeast community can support multi-omics and metabolic modelling in fermentation research. 📰https://buff.ly/sgtokET
