The unique flavor of Gergoush primarily depends on the spontaneous anaerobic fermentation of milk by natural microbiota following the addition of legumes. Therefore, this study aimed to investigate the microbial communities and volatile compounds in Berbassa prepared using chickpeas and cumin. The microbial community and volatile compounds in the non-fermented milk and Berbassa samples were analyzed using high-throughput sequencing and GC-MS, respectively. The bacterial community in Berbassa samples was dominated by Bacillus (31.52-53.37%) and Clostridium sensu stricto 1 (17.58-57.03%), followed by Paenibacillus, Brevibacillus, and Paraclostridium. In contrast, most fungal genera remained unidentified, followed by Trichosporon, Nothophoma, Alternaria, Aspergillus, and Mortierella as the most prominent identified genera. Fifty-seven compounds were detected by GC-MS, including esters, aldehydes, acids, ketones, alcohols, and phospholipids. Correlation analysis revealed that Bacillus, Clostridium sensu stricto 1, Paraclostridium, Phoma, and Piloderma were significantly correlated with several volatile compounds detected in Berbassa samples. Among these, several compounds are well-known for their strong flavors. The findings suggest a potential connection between the dominant genera Bacillus and Clostridium and the detected volatile compounds, which may contribute to the pungent flavor of Gergoush. This study provides valuable insights for future research on the contribution of individual strains to the unique flavor of Berbassa.</p>","PeriodicalId":14318,"journal":{"name":"International Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1919-1933"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143995386","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}

Epigallocatechin gallate (EGCG), a natural compound found in green tea, has shown promising effects in inhibiting viral infections. In this study, we investigated the methylation changes that occur following IAV infection, specifically focusing on the down-regulation of ten-eleven translocation 1 (TET1) and TET2 gene expression at both RNA and protein levels. We found that the methylation process triggered by IAV infection leads to the down-regulation of TET1 and TET2. Importantly, treatment with the methylation inhibitor epigallocatechin-3-gallate (EGCG) can prevent IAV infection by disrupting the DNA methylation changes induced by the virus in A549 cells. Our results demonstrate that EGCG treatment significantly alters DNA methylation patterns in human lung epithelial cells (A549) after IAV infection. The treatment appears to down-regulate the expression of DNA methylation co-factors, such as DNMT1 and methionine synthase (MS), which are significantly reduced following IAV infection at 24 h post-infection. Additionally, EGCG treatment led to a marked increase in the gene expression of TET1 and TET2, enzymes responsible for DNA demethylation. We also observed a significant decrease in the production of pro-inflammatory cytokines, specifically interleukin-6 (IL-6) and interferon beta (IFN-β), in infected A549 cells treated with EGCG compared to untreated or control cells. The concentration of IFN-β was notably lower in the EGCG-treated infected cells, in contrast to control cells where IFN-β levels increased significantly up to 200 pm/mL at 12 h post-infection. Similarly, IL-6 levels were significantly reduced in EGCG-treated cells. Overall, this study provides evidence that EGCG, a methylation inhibitor, can modulate DNA methylation pathways in IAV-infected cells by targeting DNMT1 and MS, leading to the inhibition of IAV replication. These findings suggest that EGCG could be a promising therapeutic agent for preventing or reducing IAV infection.</p>","PeriodicalId":14318,"journal":{"name":"International Microbiology","volume":" ","pages":"1843-1855"},"PeriodicalIF":2.3,"publicationDate":"2025-10-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144001066","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}

This study aimed to characterize P. multocida and its virulence genes and evaluate the immunogenicity of an inactivated vaccine of serogroup B using different administration routes. A total of 250 samples were collected from animals showing respiratory symptoms. Using 5% blood agar, 27 P. multocida isolates were obtained, and 21 (8.4%) were confirmed via PCR targeting the kmt1 gene. Nineteen virulence-associated genes were screened, categorized into outer membrane, fimbrial, somatic antigen, and iron-binding genes. The plpB, tadD, gatG, and hgbA genes were detected in both serogroup B and E isolates, whereas ompA, toxA, pcgD, latB, nctB, ppgB, natG, hgbB, and exbB were absent in all isolates. The immunogenicity of an inactivated P. multocida vaccine was evaluated in mice using subcutaneous and intramuscular routes. Subcutaneous vaccination produced a significantly higher antibody titer at 3 and 5 weeks post-vaccination with a 0.5 mL dose; in contrast, intramuscular immunization resulted in a rapid increase after booster doses. Analysis of variance (ANOVA) and Duncan's multiple range test (p < 0.05) revealed statistically significant differences between treatments. The comparison between subcutaneous and intramuscular routes also showed a significant difference (p < 0.001).

The gadB gene from Mtb was cloned, expressed, and GadB protein was purified under native conditions using MS as an expression host. Initial attempts to express GadB in Escherichia coli (E. coli) resulted in the overexpressed protein being present in the insoluble fraction and was enzymatically inactive when purified under denaturing conditions. Subsequently, an acetamide-inducible expression system was employed in MS for successful overexpression and purification of recombinant GadB. 6 × His-GadB was purified using immobilized metal affinity chromatography, and its molecular weight was determined to be ~ 51.2 kDa by SDS-PAGE. The purified 6 × His-GadB enzyme was active at both neutral and acidic pH. Its activity was found to be PLP-dependent, with optimal activity at pH 7.2 and 50°C.
