1 · What the graph read from it

What it found

Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.

The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.

2 · The registry

The trial behind it

Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.

Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract

backgroundInosine and guanosine monophosphate nucleotides are convenient sources of the umami flavor, with attributed beneficial health effects that have renewed commercial interest in nucleotide fermentations. Accordingly, several bacterial strains that excrete high levels of inosine and guanosine nucleosides are currently used in the food industry for this purpose.

resultsIn the present study, we show that the filamentous fungus Ashbya gossypii, a natural riboflavin overproducer, excretes high amounts of inosine and guanosine nucleosides to the culture medium. Following a rational metabolic engineering approach of the de novo purine nucleotide biosynthetic pathway, we increased the excreted levels of inosine up to 27-fold.

conclusionsWe generated Ashbya gossypii strains with improved production titers of inosine and guanosine. Our results point to Ashbya gossypii as the first eukaryotic microorganism representing a promising candidate, susceptible to further manipulation, for industrial nucleoside fermentation.
