This study investigates the role of the endophytic fungus, Diaporthe amygdali GWS39, isolated from Geranium wallichianum D. Don Ex Sweet aerial stem. Showing a notable resemblance to Diaporthe amygdali, as confirmed through microscopic, molecular and phylogenetic techniques, this fungal endophyte displays promising antifungal and antioxidant capabilities. Remarkably, the present research marks the first report of D. amygdali as a stem inhabiting endophyte in an herbaceous perennial, Geranium wallichianum D. Don Ex Sweet on a global scale. This study pioneers the documentation of broad-spectrum antifungal activity exhibited by endophyte D. amygdali GWS39 against some economically important pathogens. The antioxidant activity of D. amygdali GWS39 crude extracts showed strong positive correlation, with R2 values of 0.99 for the methanolic extract and 0.93 for the ethyl acetate extract, indicating high antioxidant potential. In addition, the current investigation likely signifies the initial record of the bioactive chemical constituents of the endophyte D. amygdali GWS39 using GC-MS. In the GC-MS chromatogram of ethyl acetate extract, cyclohexaneamine, phenol, 2,6, dimethoxy-, benzenesulphonamide, N-(2,6, dimethylphenyl)-2-ethoxy-5-(tetrazol-1-yl), morpholine, 1-, beta, -d-Ribofuranosyl-3-[5-tetraazolyl]-1,2,4, triazole were identified. These compounds are previously reported for potent antibacterial, antifungal, antioxidant, antiviral, anticancer activities. The analysis of methanolic crude extract uncovers the presence of compounds such as arsenous acid tris(trimethylsilyl) ester, n-Hexadecanoic acid, methyl 10,11-octadecadienoate with noted antibiotic, antifungal, anti-inflammatory, antiviral, antihistaminic and anticancer activities.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"40"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-16","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142827664","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This study aimed to compare the difference between the two fermentation methods in the quality and bacterial composition of Dazhu glutinous rice wine. Results showed that the alcoholic content (P < 0.0001) and acidity (P < 0.01) in the rice wine fermented after packaging (PFRW) were higher than in the rice wine packaged after fermentation (FPRW), but the total sugar content was lower. Most amino, such as glutamic acid proline, and lactic acid were significantly higher in FPRW (P < 0.0001). In addition, the aroma, flavor and taste were better in FPRW than in PFRW. The Limosilactobacillus fermentum, Pediococcus pentosaceus, and Lactococcus lactis were dominant bacteria in FPRW, positively associated with amino acid and lactic acid. At the same time, Alcaligenaceae and Pedobacter nutriment were dominant bacteria in PFRW and negatively correlated with the quality. These implied that lactic acid bacteria significantly contributed to accumulating flavor ingredients and improving the quality of Dazhu glutinous rice wine.

Unfortunately, tigecycline resistance is increasingly reported and causes an unprecedented public health crisis worldwide. Although studies on tigecycline resistance are expanding, the underlying mechanisms are not fully understood. The goal of this study is to investigate resistance-associated phenotypic changes in descendant tigecycline-resistant KP strains induced in vitro. Compared with the parental KP strains, descendant tigecycline-resistant strains grew slowly and reversed the susceptibility of carbapenems and aminoglycosides from resistance to sensitivity. The efflux pump inhibitor phenylalanyl-arginyl-β-naphthylamine (PAβN) could significantly decrease the MIC values of tigecycline in descendant strains, but the efflux pump inhibitor carbonyl cyanide-m-chlorophenylhydrazine (CCCP), verapamil, and reserpine could not. Although the descendant strains showed inconsistent (increased or decreased) biofilm formation and ethidium bromide uptake, they showed consistently decreased ethidium bromide efflux. As for the expression of efflux pumps and regulators determined by quantitative reverse transcript polymerase chain reaction (qRT-PCR), higher level of efflux pump acrAB-TolC and lower level of regulator ramA were observed in these descendant strains, while the efflux pump oqxAB and the other 6 regulators (acrR, rarA, marA, soxS, bpeT, and Rob) showed inconsistent (higher or lower) expression level. Thus, a global regulatory network driven by regulators (acrR, ramA, rarA, marA, soxS, bpeT, rob, etc.) alone or synergistically might play important roles in conferring tigecycline resistance in KP by regulation of efflux pumps (especially increasing acrAB-TolC) or other pathways.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"37"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142817269","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Indeed, there is increasing evidence that these bacteria display industrially relevant traits, particularly as producers of antimicrobial substances, tensioactive/emulsifying compounds, and enzymes. Here, our aim was to investigate the potential of Vibrio strains isolated from two different marine sources to produce such biotechnologically applicable substances. From the eighteen analyzed strains, five were isolated from plastic particles from a heavily polluted urban estuary and 13 from calcareous sponges inhabiting submarine caves in an isolated volcanic archipelago in the Atlantic Ocean. Enzymatic screening revealed that most strains were agarolytic and cellulolytic. Overall, six strains showed antimicrobial activity against Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 29,213, with four of them active towards Escherichia coli ATCC 25,922 as well. Additionally, eight strains were positive for the production of bioemulsifiers. Genomic analyses of four strains further revealed insights regarding the enzymatic arsenal, as shown by the detection of several key gene clusters pertaining to the chitin degradation pathway, and also encoding diverse classes of antimicrobial-active metabolites. Our findings highlight the biotechnological potential of Vibrio spp., evidencing their functional diversity and the need for continued and sustained prospecting of this bacterial genus to uncover its potential high-value-added bioproducts.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"36"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-11","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142806318","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The highest co-aggregation was recorded with Escherichia coli (23.62 ± 0.70%). The strain was found negative for enterotoxin production, mucin degradation, and antibiotic resistance to the commonly used therapeutic antibiotics. It formed a good biofilm and capable of producing antimicrobial peptide subtilosin A with a molecular mass of 3400 Da. The peptide has inhibited the growth of methicillin-resistant Staphylococcus aureus (18.6 ± 0.58 mm). In genetic safety, no plasmids, antibiotic-resistant genes, and virulence factors were detected.

The polar flagellar genes are expressed either in liquid or on a surface, however, laf genes would only be activated by surface sensing. In this study, the molecular mechanism of surface sensing activating laf gene expression in V. parahaemolyticus was investigated. We found that the c-di-GMP concentration for liquid-grown cells was higher than the concentration for surface-grown cells and laf gene expression could be activated without touching surface if the intracellular level of c-di-GMP was decreased by overexpressing the scrABC operon in the wild-type strain. Surface sensing inhibits the transcription of those c-di-GMP-metabolizing enzymes which could negatively regulate swarming, and enhances those which could positively regulate swarming. Surface sensing also enhances the activity of quorum sensing (QS) of V. parahaemolyticus which plays an important role in regulating the transcription of components of the c-di-GMP network. Combined, the data indicate that V. parahaemolyticus enhances QS by surface sensing to down-regulate the intracellular level of c-di-GMP which results in producing the lateral flagella and swarming on a surface. What we found in this study suggests an important signal transduction pathway of regulating swarming motility by surface sensing in V. parahaemolyticus.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"32"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142799752","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The aim of the study was to determine the effect of inoculum type (spore suspension or preculture) on the levels of SMs in the fermentation broth. Altogether, 17 SMs were detected, including 4 products with confirmed identities, 10 putatively annotated metabolites, and 3 unknown molecules. As observed over the course of qualitative and quantitative analyses, the selection of inoculum type markedly influenced the SM-related outcomes of cocultures. Depending on the coculture initiation procedure, replacing the preculture with spore inoculum positively affected the biosynthesis of oxytetracycline, butyrolactone I, (+)-geodin, as well as the molecules putatively identified as rimocidin, CE-108, and (+)-erdin. It was concluded that the comparative analyses of SM production in filamentous microbial cocultures and monocultures are dependent on the type of inoculum and thus the diversification of inocula is highly recommended in such studies. Furthermore, it was demonstrated that designing a coculture experiment that involves only a single type of inoculum may lead to the underestimation of biosynthetic repertoires of filamentous microorganisms.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"31"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-07","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11625075/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142791424","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This bacterium, which thrives in the harsh conditions of the stomach, is typically acquired during childhood and can remain colonized for life. Approximately, 90% of the global population is affected, and H. pylori is linked to various conditions, including gastritis, peptic ulcers, lymphoproliferative gastric lymphoma, and even gastric cancer. Currently, antibiotics are the primary treatment method, but the associated challenges of antibiotic use have led to the consideration of oral vaccination as a viable preventive measure against this infection. However, the stomach's harsh environment characterized by its acidic conditions and numerous proteolytic enzymes poses significant obstacles to the development and effectiveness of oral vaccines. To address these challenges, researchers have proposed and evaluated several delivery systems. One of the most promising options is the use of probiotics. Among the various probiotics, Lactococcus lactis stands out as a suitable candidate for oral vaccine delivery against H. pylori due to the advancements in genetic engineering that have been applied to it. This review article discusses the limitations of current treatment strategies and rationalizes the shift toward vaccination, particularly oral vaccination for this infection. It also explores the advantages and challenges of using probiotic bacteria, with a focus on L. lactis as a delivery system. Ultimately, despite the existing challenges, L. lactis continues to be recognized as a promising delivery system. Nonetheless, further research is essential to fully assess its effectiveness and address the challenges associated with this approach.","PeriodicalId":11360,"journal":{"name":"Current Microbiology","volume":"82 1","pages":"30"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2024-12-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142791425","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
