Abstract
Bisphenol A (BPA, 2,2’-Bis (4-hydroxyphenyl) propane) is an artificial pollutant that is easily detected in soil and water environments. BPA decomposition and removal from the environment is relatively difficult due to its stability. This study evaluated the BPA decomposition and removal activities of the microbial community existing in the soil with or without Sphingomonas bisphenolicum AO1, and revealed the toxic effects of BPA towards the microbial community. The microbial community in soil was able to degrade BPA at 1.0 mg·g-1 soil or lower, although its degradation was slow. On the other hand, BPA at more than 10 mg·g-1 soil was not only degraded by the microbial community but also decreased its diversity, suggesting that BPA is harmful to many microorganisms. PCR-TTGE analysis and the cloned 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis indicated that Sphingomonadales, Xanthomonadales, Burkholderiales and Pseudomonadales in the microbial community might independently or cooperatively degrade BPA. On the other hand, supplementation with strain AO1 was able to significantly improve the BPA decomposition activity of the microbial community in soil even at 10 mg BPA·g-1 soil, although BPA at 100 mg·g-1 soil overwhelmed the BPA decomposition activity of strain AO1.

Validity of cramping research models to real-world sporting scenarios
The vast majority of research on TRP channel agonists is conducted in a laboratory environment, using an electrically stimulated cramping model in isolated muscles or small muscle groups to measure the “threshold frequency” for cramping – that is, how easily a muscle cramps in response to electrical stimulation. Whilst the threshold frequency appears related to an athlete’s real-world susceptibility to cramping, the results of these laboratory studies have yet to be replicated in a real-world sporting context.
Unnecessary expense and lack of scientific consensus on prescription
There is currently no consensus on the optimal dose of TRP channel agonists, whether some (e.g. vinegar) are more effective than others (e.g. cinnamon), whether combining multiple TRP channel agonists provides an additive or synergistic effect, the optimal timing of ingestion, and whether mouth rinsing is equivalent to swallowing the supplement.
Tolerance of extremely pungent flavours
TRP channel agonists are, by their very nature, strong and pungent flavours, which may be particularly overwhelming during exercise in hot environments. Athletes are strongly advised to always try these pro
