New Horizon in Selective Tocols Extraction from Deodorizer Distillates Under Mild Conditions by Using Deep Eutectic Solvents by Dian Maria Ulfa, Asep Bayu, Siti Irma Rahmawati, Peni Ahmadi, Masteria Yunovilsa Putra, Surachai Karnjanakom, Guoqing Guan, Abdul Mun’im

“…The basic principles of intermolecular interactions (H-bond, van der Walls bond, and misfit interaction) between DESs or their components with tocols are discussed to understand the mechanism by which DESs selectively extract tocols from the mixture. This is mainly observed to be a function of the intrinsic properties of DESs and/or tocols, which could be beneficial for tuning the appropriate DESs for extracting tocols selectively and effectively under mild operation conditions. …”

Metagenomic and phylogenetic analyses reveal gene-level selection constrained by bacterial phylogeny, surrounding oxalate metabolism in the gut microbiota by Sromona D. Mukherjee, Mangesh Suryavanshi, John Knight, Dirk Lange, Aaron W. Miller

“…The frc gene was primarily allocated to the Pseudomonodota phylum, particularly the Bradyrhizobium genus, which is a species capable of utilizing oxalate as a sole carbon and energy source. Collectively evidence provides strong support that, for oxalate metabolism, evolutionary selection occurs at the gene level, through horizontal gene transfer, rather than at the species level.IMPORTANCEA critical function of the gut microbiota is to neutralize dietary toxins, such as oxalate, which is highly prevalent in plant-based foods and is not degraded by host enzymes. …”
