Our bodies use protein to build and repair muscle (and to provide energy and break down food and support growth and development). But if you’re looking for other sources of protein—especially ones that don’t add a lot of extra fat and calories—where should you start? How much protein (and how many calories) you need is different for everyone. But there are rules around what can be called “high protein.” A food should provide 20% or more of the Daily Value (DV) or 10 grams based on a 2,000 calorie diet. However, a food product Protein content is not generally listed…
More than a million people die each year from infections with antimicrobial-resistant pathogens, and the problem is growing. Meanwhile, the discovery of new antimicrobials that can help stem the tide has not kept pace. Researchers at the University of Texas at Austin see promise in a class of natural antimicrobials called microcins, which are produced by bacteria in the gut and help them compete with rival bacteria. In a pair of recent papers, researchers identify the first known microkinin that targets strains of bacteria that cause cholera and describe a method of finding microkinins in bacterial genomes with the help…
