How does gut microbiota affect the vaginitis axis? The mediating role of plasma metabolites by Mo Li, Qianyu Zhang, Tong Wu, Lanfang Ma, Dianxing Hu, Zixuan Yuan, Shixuan Wang, Aiyue Luo, Jinjin Zhang

“…Here, we explored whether the gut microbiota influences the risk of vaginitis by performing a two-sample Mendelian randomization analysis using the largest genome-wide association studies to date. Four gut taxa in genus levels were identified related to vaginitis: Candidatus Soleaferrea (inverse-variance weighted [IVW] odds ratio [OR] = 2.20, P = 0.026), Dialister (IVW OR = 2.62, P = 0.029), Lachnospiraceae UCG-008 (IVW OR = 0.41, P = 0.0067), and Ruminiclostridium 5 (IVW OR = 0.080, P = 1.42 × 10−5). …”

Evaluation of the biological treatment of a real contaminated groundwater through reductive dechlorination biostimulation by Hafsa Yaqoubi, Hafsa Yaqoubi, Geremia Sassetto, Maria Presutti, Mustapha Belfaquir, Bruna Matturro, Bruna Matturro, Simona Rossetti, Laura Lorini, Marco Petrangeli Papini, Marco Zeppilli, Marco Zeppilli

“…McCarty were associated with higher reductive dechlorination rates while non-augmented and non-stimulated microcosms reflected distinct microbial communities dominated by non-dechlorinating taxa. Additionally, RD decreased (48, 23, 22, and 14 µeq/Ld) with increasing sulphate concentrations (0, 150, 225, and 450 mgSO4 -2/L), further demonstrating the inhibitory effect of sulphate in the treated contaminated groundwater. …”
