Artificial Intelligence-Driven Food Safety: Decoding Gut Microbiota-Mediated Health Effects of Non-Microbial Contaminants
This review explores how food contaminants like heavy metals, pesticides, and micro- and nanoplastics can alter gut bacteria in ways that affect overall health, from immune function to metabolic regulation. The study highlights how artificial intelligence tools are helping researchers untangle the complex relationships between these contaminants, gut microbiome changes, and health outcomes that traditional methods struggle to decode.
Gut microbiota, a key to understanding the knowledge gaps on micro-nanoplastics-related biological effects and biodegradation
This review explores how micro- and nanoplastics affect the community of microorganisms living in the gut, and how those same gut microbes might be able to break down plastic particles. Swallowed microplastics can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria, potentially leading to various diseases. On the other hand, some gut bacteria can actually degrade plastics into smaller, less harmful molecules, opening a possible avenue for biological cleanup.
Fruit-Based Fermented Beverages: Contamination Sources and Emerging Technologies Applied to Assure Their Safety.
This review examines contamination risks in fruit-based fermented beverages, including microbiological hazards, chemical residues, and emerging contaminants. Microplastics are noted as an emerging contamination concern in food and beverage processing, and the review evaluates technologies to ensure product safety.
Role of Microbes in Microplastic Removal and Its Effect on Human Health
This review examines the role of microbes in microplastic removal from environmental matrices and food systems, covering both degradation pathways and the health implications of microplastic-microbiome interactions for humans and other organisms.
The microplastic-crisis: Role of bacteria in fighting microplastic-effects in the digestive system
This review examines how microplastics affect the human digestive system and explores whether certain bacteria could help counteract the damage. Microplastics disrupt the gut by altering microbial communities, interfering with digestive enzymes, and damaging the protective mucus lining. The authors highlight the potential for probiotic bacteria to bind to microplastics, reduce inflammation, and help repair the gut environment, offering a possible protective strategy against microplastic-related digestive harm.
Microplastics and their interactions with microbiota
This review examines how microplastics interact with microbiota (the communities of microorganisms in the environment and in living bodies). Microplastics can carry harmful bacteria and disrupt the natural balance of microbial communities in soil, water, and the human gut. The disruption of gut microbiota by microplastics is particularly concerning because a healthy gut microbiome is essential for immune function, digestion, and overall health.
Trace Metals in Modern Technology and Human Health: A Microbiota Perspective on Cobalt, Lithium, and Nickel
This review examines how trace metals like cobalt, lithium, and nickel, which are increasingly released into the environment from modern technology manufacturing, affect the human gut microbiome. Researchers found that while these metals serve essential biological functions at low levels, excessive exposure can disrupt the balance of gut bacteria and contribute to systemic health effects. The study highlights the need for better understanding of how technology-related metal pollution may influence human health through its impact on gut microbes.
Microbial risks associated with microplastics in the food chain and possible control measures (literature review). Part 1. Dietary intake and influence on the gut microbiota
This review summarizes evidence that microplastics commonly found in food and drinking water can disrupt the human gut microbiome when ingested. Studies show that microplastics alter the composition and function of intestinal bacteria, potentially affecting digestion, immunity, and overall health. Since a healthy gut microbiome is essential for human wellbeing, this pathway of harm deserves attention alongside other known risks of microplastic exposure.
