Faecalibacterium duncaniae A2-165 regulates the expression of butyrate synthesis, ferrous iron uptake, and stress-response genes based on acetate consumption.

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.
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
The promising next-generation probiotic Faecalibacterium prausnitzii is one of the most abundant acetate-consuming, butyrate-producing bacteria in the healthy human gut. Yet, little is known about how acetate availability affects this bacterium's gene expression strategies. Here, we investigated the effect of acetate on temporal changes in the transcriptome of F. duncaniae A2-165 cultures using RNA sequencing. We compared gene expression patterns between two growth phases (early stationary vs. late exponential) and two acetate levels (low: 3 mM vs. high: 23 mM). Only in low-acetate conditions, a general stress response was activated. In high-acetate conditions, there was greater expression of genes related to butyrate synthesis and to the importation of B vitamins and iron. Specifically, expression was strongly activated in the case of the feoAABC operon, which encodes a FeoB ferrous iron transporter, but not in the case of the feoAB gene, which encodes a second putative FeoAB transporter. Moreover, excess ferrous iron repressed feoB expression but not feoAB. Lastly, FeoB but not FeoAB peptides from strain A2-165 were found in abundance in a healthy human fecal metaproteome. In conclusion, we characterized two early-stationary transcriptomes based on acetate consumption and this work highlights the regulation of feoB expression in F. duncaniae A2-165.
