Novel small multidrug resistance protein Tmt endows the Escherichia coli with triphenylmethane dyes bioremediation capability
Biotechnol Lett. 2024 Apr 25. doi: 10.1007/s10529-024-03480-5. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTDye contamination in printing and dyeing wastewater has long been a major concern due to its serious impact on both the environment and human health. In the quest for bioremediation of these hazardous dyes, biological resources such as biodegradation bacteria and enzymes have been investigated in severely polluted environments. In this context, the triphenylmethane transporter gene (tmt) was identified in six distinct clones from a metagenomic library of the printing and dyeing wastewater treatment system. Escherichia coli expressi...

NhaA: A promising adjuvant target for colistin against resistant Escherichia coli
Int J Biol Macromol. 2024 Apr 23:131833. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2024.131833. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTThe emergence and widespread of multidrug-resistant Gram-negative bacteria have posed a severe threat to human health and environmental safety, escalating into a global medical crisis. Utilization of antibiotic adjuvants is a rapid approach to combat bacterial resistance effectively since the development of new antimicrobial agents is a formidable challenge. NhaA, driven by proton motive force, is a crucial secondary transporter on the cytoplasmic membrane of Escherichia coli. We found that 2-Aminoperimidine (2-AP), ...

Exploring the multifaceted bioactivities of < em > Lavandula pinnata L. < /em > essential oil: promising pharmacological activities
This study investigates the biological activities of Lavandula pinnata essential oil (LPEO), an endemic lavender species from the Canary Islands, traditionally used in treating various ailments. Methods: LPEO was extracted by hydrodistillation and analyzed using GC-MS. Antioxidant activity was assessed by DPPH radical scavenging and total antioxidant capacity assays. Antimicrobial activity was evaluated by disc diffusion, MIC, MBC, and MFC determination against bacterial (Staphylococcus aureus, Micrococcus luteus, Escherichia coli, Pseudomonas aeruginosa) and fungal (Candida glabrata, Rhodotorula glutinis, Aspergillus nige...

A High Efficiency, Low Resistance Antibacterial Filter Formed by Dopamine ‐Mediated In Situ Deposition of Silver onto Glass Fibers
Glass fiber filter is coated via the dopamine-mediated electroless metallization method, yielding higher filtration efficiency (97%) and lower pressure drop (150 Pa) than the silver-coated filters produced by dipping method (171 Pa). Survival rates of Escherichia coli and Bacillus subtilis bacteria decreased to 0 –15.7%, respectively after 2 h, with no bacteria surviving after 6 h. AbstractThe coating of filter media with silver is typically achieved by chemical deposition and aerosol processes. Whilst useful, such approaches struggle to provide uniform coating and are prone to blockage. To address these issues, an in s...

Genes, Vol. 15, Pages 540: Characterization of the Apoptotic and Antimicrobial Activities of Two Initiator Caspases of Sea Cucumber Apostichopus japonicus
Li Sun
Caspase (CASP) is a protease family that plays a vital role in apoptosis, development, and immune response. Herein, we reported the identification and characterization of two CASPs, AjCASPX1 and AjCASPX2, from the sea cucumber Apostichopus japonicus, an important aquaculture species. AjCASPX1/2 share similar domain organizations with the vertebrate initiator caspases CASP2/9, including the CARD domain and the p20/p10 subunits with conserved functional motifs. However, compared with human CASP2/9, AjCASPX1/2 possess unique structural features in the linker region between p20 and p10. AjCASPX1, but not AjCASPX2, ...
