Effect of intra- and inter-specific plant interactions on the rhizosphere microbiome of a single target plant at different densities. by Derek R Newberger, Heather L Deel, Daniel K Manter, Jorge M Vivanco

“…Regardless of plant neighbor identity or density, a low number of rhizobacteria were strongly associated with each target species. Nonetheless, a few bacterial taxa were shown to have conditional associations such as being enriched within only high plant densities, which may alleviate plant competition between these species. …”

Novel anti-inflammatory properties of mannose oligosaccharides in the treatment of inflammatory bowel disease via LGALS3 modulation by Yaqi Du, Yan Fan, Xin Li, Fenqin Chen

“…Employing both in vitro and in vivo models, we explored how GA-MOS influences microbial communities, particularly focusing on their capacity to enhance health-associated bacteria and reduce pathogenic species within the gut environment. Our findings reveal that GA-MOS treatment significantly altered the gut microbiota composition, increasing the abundance of anti-inflammatory bacteria while decreasing pro-inflammatory species, thus contributing to a reduction in gut inflammation and an improvement in intestinal barrier function. …”

Simulations of decane-ammonia autoignition in two mixture fractions by Angelos Kylikas, Epaminondas Mastorakos, Epaminondas Mastorakos

“…The ignition is shown to occur near the most reactive mixture fraction of the most reactive fuel, at lower conditional values of the less reactive fuel’s mixture fraction. The species fronts formed are observed to follow a trajectory between the stoichiometric mixture fractions of the fuels. …”
