Compared with traditional staple foods, potato significantly improved the food and water intake and survival rate, and inhibited the swelling of viscera of mice, accompanied by a decreased white blood cell count and urine bilirubin content. Furthermore, potato significantly increased the relative abundance of Bacteroides and Faecalibacterium, which are short-chain fatty acid producing bacteria and play very important roles in the maintenance of human health. Meanwhile, potato significantly decreased the relative abundance of spoilage bacteria Pseudomonas and Thiobacillus. Analysis of putative metagenomes indicated that the potato diet upregulated the gene abundance of glycan biosynthesis and metabolism, digestive system and immune system. These findings indicated that potato has the potential to be an excellent substitute for traditional staple foods owing to its good physiological function and favorable gut microbiota modulation.The magnetic properties of mononuclear YbIII complexes have been explored by using multiconfigurational CASPT2/RASSI calculations. Such complexes, in particular the case of [Yb(trensal)] complex, have been proposed as molecular qubits due to their spin dynamics properties. We have verified the accuracy of the theoretical approach to study such systems by comparing with experimental magnetic data. In order to have a wide overview of the magnetic properties of mononuclear YbIII complexes, we have considered simple charged and neutral models, [Yb(H2O)n]3+ and [Yb(OH)3(H2O)n-3], for many coordination modes.
