Check out today’s digest which includes very diverse microbiome research. I would like to highlight specifically these three 1) Indole-3-carbinol in the prevention of colitis and associated microbial dysbiosis, 2) A rapid and convenient derivatization method for the quantitation of short‐chain fatty acids in human feces, and 3) Role of complex microbiome human in vitro fertilization procedure. There are several other interesting articles in every section! Enjoy reading!
