In this study, female BALBC mice in the whey protein (WP-sensitized) group were gavaged with WP and normal saline, the sham-sensitized group was given normal saline once a week for 5 weeks. One week later, the WP-sensitized mice were administered 60 mg β-lactoglobulin (BLG). The results showed that mice's body weight decreased, feces with loose and bloody, and systemic allergic reactions and ear swelling increased in the WP-sensitized group. The levels of WP-specific Ig, mMCP-1, calprotectin of feces, and inflammation-related factors in the WP-sensitized group were increased. WP-sensitized group intestine tissues were damaged severely and the expressions of ZO-1, Claudin-1 and Occludin reduced. The results of 16S rRNA sequencing showed that there were differences in operational taxonomic units (OUT) levels of gut microbes between the two groups, o_Clostridiales, c_Clostridia and f_Lachnospiraceae were more abundant in the WP-sensitized group. In conclusion, the WP sensitization can induce the allergic inflammation, intestinal injury and intestinal barrier dysfunction in mice, and the gut microbes were also changed, which provided a reference for the treatment of WP-sensitized mice.","PeriodicalId":12214,"journal":{"name":"Fems Microbiology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-12-09","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"138563422","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The serotype test results of the 16 V. parahaemolyticus were 14 O4:KUT and 2 O10:K4. All samples were negative for other tested bacteria. All V. parahaemolyticus strains were positive for tdh genes and negative for trh gene. The 16 isolates were 100% resistant to ampicillin (AMP), and sensitive to the other12 antibiotics. From the results of serotype and PFGE, the V. parahaemolyticus strains with two serotypes are clustered into two branches according to their serotypes. The three EAEC strains were non-homologous.

In this case, exposure to these compounds is mainly dermal and interactions may occur with skin components including cutaneous mycobiota. In this work, we have explored the in vitro reciprocal interactions between three parabens (methylparaben, ethylparaben, and propylparaben) and yeasts from the human cutaneous mycobiota (Candida parapsilosis, Cryptococcus uniguttulatus, and Rhodotorula mucilaginosa) by studying the effect of these parabens on fungal growth and the fungal ability to metabolize the tested compounds. Our results showed that, at the tested concentrations, the growth of three strains of C. parapsilosis was not influenced by the presence of parabens. Whereas, using the same parabens concentrations, growth of C. uniguttulatus and R. mucilaginosa was completely inhibited by ethylparaben since the first day of contact, whereas these same fungi were not sensitive to the two other parabens, even after seven days of incubation. The presence of a lamellar wall in these basidiomycete fungi as well as the physico-chemical properties of ethylparaben could explain this selective inhibition. Additionally, C. parapsilosis and R. mucilaginosa degraded 90% to 100% of propylparaben after seven days of incubation but had no effect on the other tested parabens. Thus, their enzymes seem to only degrade long chain parabens. In the same conditions, C. uniguttulatus did not degrade any paraben. This inability may be due to the absence of fungal enzymes able to degrade parabens or to the possible inaccessibility of intracellular enzymes due to the polysaccharide capsule. Our work has shown that parabens can act differently from one fungus to another within the cutaneous mycobiota. These preliminary results have evidenced that in vitro parabens, contained in cosmetic products, could be involved in the occurrence of a state of dysbiosis. The tested yeasts from the cutaneous mycobiota can also be involved in the degradation of parabens and thereby reduce, according to the produced metabolites and their activities, the risk of endocrine disruption they can induce.</p>","PeriodicalId":12214,"journal":{"name":"Fems Microbiology Letters","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":2.1,"publicationDate":"2023-01-17","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"9092002","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, we simultaneously introduced the Cas9 RNP complex targeting fcy1, a mutation that conferred P. ostreatus resistance to 5-fluorocytosine (5-FC), together with that targeting pyrG. A total of 76 5-FOA resistant strains were isolated during the first screening. Subsequently, a 5-FC resistance examination was conducted, and three strains exhibited resistance. Genomic PCR experiments followed by DNA sequencing revealed that mutations were successfully introduced into fcy1 and pyrG in the three strains.

Here, we sampled arabica and robusta coffee cherries from Malang, East Java, Indonesia, then sequenced and analysed their bacterial composition. We found that: (a) arabica cherries contained bacteria with less diversity and abundance compared with robusta; (b) both coffee cherries were heavily populated by extremophiles, presumably dispersed from volcanic activities; (c) groups known to be involved in coffee fermentation such as lactic acid bacteria, acetic acid bacteria, Enterobacteria, and soil-associated bacteria were present in both arabica and robusta coffee cherries, and (d) arabica cherries were dominated by Leuconostoc pseudomesenteroides.

In Ganoderma lucidum, the molecular regulation mechanisms of hydrophobins in mushroom are unclear. In this study, we investigated a hydrophobin protein 1 (Hyd1) in G. lucidum, which belongs to the fungal Class I hydrophobins. The hyd1 gene was highly expressed during the formation of primordia, and expression was the lowest in fruiting bodies. Through the construction of hyd1 silenced strains, we found that primordia formation was not initiated in these strains. This finding indicated that Hyd1 played an important role in the development of G. lucidum. Second, AreA, a key transcription factor in nitrogen metabolism, negatively regulated the expression of hyd1. In an areA-silenced strain, the expression of hyd1 increased by ∼14-fold compared with that of the wild-type (WT) strain. Electrophoretic mobility shift assays (EMSA) indicated binding of AreA to the promoter of hyd1. Additionally, expression of hyd1 was determined in the presence of different nitrogen sources. Compared with that in the ammonia nitrogen source, the expression of hyd1 in nitrate nitrogen source significantly increased. Finally, we found that hyd1 plays important roles not only in nitrogen regulation but also in the resistance to other abiotic stresses. After silencing of hyd1, the resistance to heat, cell wall, and salt stresses decreased.

In fact, Cu limitation triggers a substantial down-regulation of nirK, norCBQD, and nosRZDFYLX gene expression under denitrifying conditions.

To investigate the role of CsoR in the control of denitrification gene expression in response to Cu, a csoR deletion mutant was constructed in this work. Mutation of csoR did not affect the capacity of B. diazoefficiens to grow under denitrifying conditions. However, by using qRT-PCR analyses, we showed that nirK and norCBQD expression was much lower in the csoR mutant compared to wild-type levels under Cu-limiting denitrifying conditions.
