< em > Jeotgalibaca caeni < /em > sp. nov., isolated from biochemical tank sludge
Int J Syst Evol Microbiol. 2023 Oct;73(10). doi: 10.1099/ijsem.0.006116.ABSTRACTA Gram-stain-positive, coccoid-shaped, non-spore-forming, facultatively anaerobic bacterium, designated YN-L-12T, was isolated from the activate sludge of a pesticide plant. Colonies on tryptone soya agar were small, white, opaque and circular. Phylogenetic analyses based on 16S rRNA gene sequences indicated that strain YN-L-12T belonged to the genus of Jeotgalibaca, and showed the highest similarity to Jeotgalibaca arthritidis 1805-02T (97.0 %), followed by Jeotgalibaca ciconiae H21T32T (96.5 %), Jeotgalibaca porci 1804-02T (95.6 %) and Jeotga...

Acid adaptation increased the resistance of < em > Escherichia coli < /em > O157:H7 in bok choy ( < em > Brassica rapa < /em > subsp. < em > chinensis < /em > ) juice to high-pressure processing
This study aimed to investigate the effect of acid adaptation on the pressure resistance of E. coli O157:H7 in a bok choy vegetable juice matrix. Acid adaptation was performed in tryptone soya broth without dextrose adjusted to pH 5.0 at 37°C for 24 h, while non-adapted cells were prepared in similar conditions, without the pH adjustment (pH 7.3). The C7927 strain was used as it exhibited the greatest increase in pressure resistance after acid adaptation among the three strains tested. Acid adaptation increased the D-value at 400 MPa from 0.8 ± 0.1 min in non-adapted cells to 1.2 ± 0.1 min in acid-adapted cells (P < ...

A liquid crystal in situ gel based on rotigotine for the treatment of Parkinson's disease
This study prepared the RTG-gel precursor solution using SPC, GDO, and ethanol (in the ratio of 54:36:10, w/w/w). The internal structures of the gel were confirmed by crossed-polarized light microscopy (PLM), small-angle X-ray scattering (SAXS), and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC). The rheological properties of the RTG-gel precursor solution indicate a favorable combination of low viscosity and excellent flowability. The gel that produced during water absorption was also highly viscous and structurally stable, which helped to maintain the drug delayed release at the injection site. In vitro release assays showed th...

Porosity controlled soya protein isolate-polyethylene oxide multifunctional dual membranes as smart wound dressings
Int J Biol Macromol. 2023 Oct 17:127468. doi: 10.1016/j.ijbiomac.2023.127468. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTMultifunctional membranes S7P0.7, S7P3.0, and dual membranes composed of soya protein isolate (SPI) and polyethylene oxide (PEO) were produced for wound dressing applications. The internal structure of the membranes was confirmed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) to be homogeneous and coarser with a porous-like network. S7P3.0 showed the tensile strength of 0.78 ± 0.04 MPa. In the absence of antibiotics, the dual membrane (combination of S7P0.7 and S7P3.0) exhibited potential antibacterial activity against Esche...

Assessing the probiotic potential, antioxidant, and antibacterial activities of oat and soy milk fermented with Lactiplantibacillus plantarum strains isolated from Tibetan Kefir
Sufficient intake of probiotics has been shown to help in the digestion, protect the body against pathogenic microorganisms and boost the immune system. Recently, due to high prevalence of milk allergies and lactose intolerance in population, the non-dairy based probiotic alternative are becoming increasing popular. In this context, the oat milk and soya milk-based fermented products can be an ideal alternative for the development of Lactic acid bacteria bacteria based probiotics. These bacteria can not only improve the product’s flavor and bioavailability but also increases its antibacterial and antioxidant capabilities...

Integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic analyses reveal the toxic effects of dimethoate on green vegetable soya bean seedlings
This study aimed to analyze the effect of dimethoate on the growth of green vegetable soya bean seedlings at the metabolic and transcriptional levels. An integrated analysis of the transcriptome and metabolome was performed to determine the responses of green vegetable soya bean seedlings to different concentrations (D1 for low dose, D2 for high dose and C for control) of dimethoate. In omics analyses, 4156 differentially expressed genes (DEGs) and 1935 differentially abundant metabolites (DAMs) were identified in the D1/C comparison, and 11162 DEGs and 819 DAMs were identified in D2/C. Correlation analyses revealed dimeth...
