Could the complex communities of microbes in fermented foods be shaping the way these foods function at a molecular level?

Until now, there was no comprehensive framework to systematically map microbial metabolic functions in food, making it difficult to explore the potential implications for health, nutrition, and sustainability. That’s why researchers from the Domino EU project, in collaboration with the ANR Metasimfood Project, have been working on a computational framework that organizes ~1,985 microbial genes […]

Microbiome Metabolic Modeling as a tool for innovation in fermented foods

Recent advances in genome-scale metabolic modeling (GSMM) are transforming our understanding of how the microbiomes of fermented foods operate, but there is still a crucial gap: while GSMM is well-established in microbial ecology, its application to food systems innovation remains under-leveraged. The review paper, “Microbiome Metabolic Modeling as a Tool for Innovation in Fermented Food […]
