Researchers at Helmholtz-Centre for Environmental Research – UFZ GmbH, Leipzig, explored the effects of xenobiotics on gut microbiota using the Multifors bench-top bioreactor. Their findings highlight the impact of environmental contaminants like PFAS and BPX on microbial communities and metabolic pathways, emphasizing the need to consider these interactions for public health.
