Christopher Martoni,Jasmine Bhathena,Mitchell Lawrence Jones,Aleksandra Malgorzata Urbanska,Hongmei Chen,Satya Prakash +5 more
TL;DR: There is an error in the article “Investigation of Microencapsulated BSH Active Lactobacillus in the Simulated Human GI Tract” by Martoni et al.
Microencapsulated Genetically Engineered Lactobacillus plantarum 80 (pCBH1) for Bile Acid Deconjugation and Its Implication in Lowering Cholesterol.
TL;DR: It is shown that microencapsulated Lactobacillus plantarum 80 (pCBH1) cells can efficiently break down and remove bile acids, and establishes a basis for their use in lowering blood serum cholesterol.
Genipin cross-linked alginate-chitosan microcapsules: membrane characterization and optimization of cross-linking reaction.
TL;DR: The details of the microcapsule membrane characterization using a noninvasive and in situ method without any physical or chemical modifications on the samples showed that the cross-linking reaction generated the fluorescent chitosan-genipin conjugates.

Reaction of chitosan with genipin and its fluorogenic attributes for potential microcapsule membrane characterization.
TL;DR: Findings demonstrate a convenient and effective way of characterizing chitosan-based microcapsules using genipin as a fluorogenic marker, a technique that will be useful in microcapsule research and other biomedical applications.
