As the human population shifts to a higher proportion of aged and geriatric individuals, it is critical that we develop appropriate animal models in which to test interventional methods to maintain human health and to systemically treat age-related disease. Marmosets offer a unique model in which to evaluate the translational gap between cellular aging and clinical application.

We have previously found that geriatric marmosets have a significantly reduced microbial diversity, and we have also found in pilot testing that oral fecal transplant can be safely used to alter a young animal?s microbial community. We hypothesize that loss of microbial diversity is significantly associated with the aging process, and that oral FMT may be a potential therapeutic for healthspan maintenance. Specific Aim 1: Determine if changes in the gut microbiome with aging are associated with significant changes in measures of healthspan and lifespan.

This research project will be undertaken to define the structure-function relationships of the enzymes of riboflavin biosynthesis.Riboflavin biosynthesis includes five enzymatic activities that are unparalleled in nature. This pathway has been studied in sufficient detail to establish the chemical transformations performed by each enzyme and the salient characteristics of the enzymes. The focus of this proposal is the mechanisms of the unusual deformylation reactions of RibA and RibB and the unconventional multi-activity of RibD will be defined.
