In our paper, recently published in Nature Communications, we (my colleagues at the Boyce Thompson Institute and Cornell University) demonstrated that a specific type of bacteria-derived fatty acid - so-called cyclopropane fatty acids, which are also part of the human diet - has a major impact on fat metabolism in the host animal. Using the nematode C. elegans as a . . .
