Non-targeted Metabolomic Analysis of Differences in the Composition of Different Rice Varieties for Baijiu Production by LIU Maoke, TIAN Xinhui, LIU Yao, TANG Yuming, QIN Jian, FENG Jun, LIU Chengyuan

“…Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG) enrichment analysis of differential metabolites identified 16 significantly differential biological pathways (P < 0.05), of which 14 were assigned to metabolic functions, including those related to Baijiu brewing such as galactose metabolism, the biosynthesis of unsaturated fatty acids, fatty acid biosynthesis, and butanoate metabolism. …”

A genome-wide association study of adults with community-acquired pneumonia by Eva Suarez-Pajes, Itahisa Marcelino-Rodriguez, Elisa Hernández Brito, Silvia Gonzalez-Barbuzano, Melody Ramirez-Falcon, Eva Tosco-Herrera, Luis A. Rubio-Rodríguez, María Luisa Briones, Olga Rajas, Luis Borderías, Jose Ferreres, Antoni Payeras, Leonardo Lorente, Javier Aspa, Jose M. Lorenzo Salazar, José Manuel Valencia-Gallardo, Nieves Carbonell, Jorge L. Freixinet, Felipe Rodríguez de Castro, Jordi Solé Violán, Carlos Flores, Carlos Rodríguez-Gallego

“…In infectious diseases, host genetics plays a critical role in susceptibility and immune response, and the immune pathways involved are highly dependent on the microorganism and its route of infection. Here we aimed to identify genetic risk loci for CAP using a case-control genome-wide association study (GWAS). …”

Expanded genome and proteome reallocation in a novel, robust Bacillus coagulans strain capable of utilizing pentose and hexose sugars by David Dooley, Seunghyun Ryu, Richard J. Giannone, Jackson Edwards, Bruce S. Dien, Patricia J. Slininger, Cong T. Trinh

“…Genome sequencing revealed that B-768 has the largest B. coagulans genome known to date (3.94 Mbp), about 0.63 Mbp larger than the average genome of sequenced B. coagulans strains, with expanded carbohydrate metabolism and mobilome. Functional genomics identified a well-equipped genetic portfolio for utilizing a wide range of C5 (xylose, arabinose), C6 (glucose, mannose, galactose), and C12 (cellobiose) sugars present in biomass hydrolysates, which was validated experimentally. …”
