We elucidated the novel species, designated MBLB3053T, through genomic analysis of novel functional microbial resources. Cells were gram-negative, non-motile, and coccoid, and the colony was light orange in color. Phylogenetic analysis based on the 16S rRNA gene showed that strain MBLB3053T was related to the genus Paracoccus, with 98.5% similarity to Paracoccus aestuariivivens. Comparative genome analysis also revealed the strain to be a novel species of the genus Paracoccus by average nucleotide identity and in silico DNA-DNA hybridization values. Through secondary metabolite analysis, terpene biosynthetic gene clusters associated with carotenoid biosynthesis were found in strain MBLB3053T. Using high-performance liquid chromatography, strain MBLB3053T was confirmed to produce carotenoids, including all-trans-astaxanthin, by comparison to the standard compound. Notably, the isolate was also confirmed to produce carotenoids that other closely related species did not produce. Based on this comprehensive polyphasic taxonomy, strain MBLB3053T represents a novel species within the genus Paracoccus, for which the name Paracoccus aurantius sp. nov is proposed. The type strain was MBL3053T (=KCTC 8269T =JCM 36634T). These findings support the research and resource value of this novel species, which was isolated from the Dokdo environmental microbiome.","PeriodicalId":16481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology and biotechnology","volume":"34 10","pages":"2012-2022"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11540602/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142108326","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The treatment and prevention of bone metabolic disorders resulting from an imbalance in bone homeostasis require the use of agents that effectively promote both bone formation and anti-resorptive effects. Therefore, an investigation was carried out to determine the potential of the edible mushroom Auricularia auricula-judae in modulating bone remodeling by inhibiting RANKL-induced osteoclastogenesis and enhancing BMP-2-stimulated osteoblast differentiation. Moreover, this study assessed the mode of action of the Auricularia auricula-judae extracts. The staining of tartrate-resistant acid phosphatase (TRAP), a marker for osteoclast activity, demonstrated that Auricularia auricula-judae water extract (AAJWE) inhibited the formation of multinucleated osteoclasts while exhibiting no cytotoxic effects. The study demonstrated that AAJWE reduced RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation by inhibiting c-Fos/NFATc1 through the inhibition of ERK and JNK phosphorylation during the RANKL-induced osteoclast differentiation. Moreover, AAJWE exhibited a dose-dependent induction of ALP expression in the presence of BMP-2 during osteoblast differentiation. The AAJWE strengthened BMP-2-induced osteogenesis through the activation of Runx2 and Smad phosphorylation. Therefore, AAJWE emerges as a promising candidate for both prevention and therapy owing to its biphasic effect, which aids in the preservation of bone homeostasis.","PeriodicalId":16481,"journal":{"name":"Journal of microbiology and biotechnology","volume":"34 12","pages":"1-10"},"PeriodicalIF":2.5,"publicationDate":"2024-10-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142522120","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 combination of the EtOAc fraction with erythromycin significantly enhanced its antibacterial efficacy against the tested strains. This synergistic effect was indicated by a notable reduction in MIC values, demonstrating the potential of E. bicyclis to enhance the effectiveness of traditional antibiotics.

While numerous studies have focused on major sequence types (STs), the implication of minor STs in ARG dissemination and their pathogenicity remains crucial. In this study, two E. coli strains (PEC1011 and PEC1012) were isolated from wild bird feces in Pakistan and identified as ST2178 based on their complete genome sequences. To understand this minor ST, 204 genome assemblies of ST2178 were comparatively analyzed with the isolates' genomes. The phylogenetic analyses revealed five subclades of ST2178. Subclade E strains were predominantly isolated from human specimens, whereas subclades A and B strains including strains PEC1011 and PEC1012, respectively, were frequently isolated from animal. Mobile genetic elements (MGEs) exhibited the positive correlation with ARGs but not with VFs in this ST. Plasmid-borne ARGs exhibited higher correlation with plasmid-borne MGEs, indicating the role of diverse mobile plasmid structures in ARG transmission. Subclade E exhibited diverse plasmid-borne ARG repertoires correlated with MGEs, marking it as a critical surveillance target. In the case of VFs, they exhibited phylogeny-dependent profiles. Strain PEC1012 harbored various plasmid-borne ARGs, which are similar with conserved ARG repertoires in subclade A. The presence of unique ARG insertion in pPEC1012 highlights the importance of subclade A in ARG dissemination.

SL30E effectively mitigated the accumulation of lipid droplets and triacylglycerol. SL30E downregulated PPARγ and CEBPα protein levels. The diminishment of PPARγ and C/EBPα, facilitated by SL30E, was impeded by the knockdown of β-catenin using β-catenin-specific siRNA. Furthermore, SL30E was observed to increase the protein levels of ATGL and p-HSL, while it concurrently decreased the protein levels of perilipin-1. SL30E downregulated p62/SQSTM1 protein level and upregulated LC3-II protein level. Moreover, SL30E was demonstrated to elevate the protein levels of p-AMPK and PGC-1α. The results indicate that SL30E inhibits lipid accumulation by suppressing adipogenesis and inducing lipolysis, lipophagy, and thermogenesis in 3T3-L1 cells.

We performed the present study to determine whether CFE protects HEPG2 cells and BALB/c mice from oxidative stress-induced liver damage. We confirmed that CFE and Loliolide were non-cytotoxic and protected against liver damage by reducing the activities of ALT and AST, which were increased by APAP treatment, and that CFE reduced the mRNA expression of inflammatory cytokines TNF-α and IL-6 and inhibited the phosphorylation of ERK and p38 in HEPG2 cells as determined by RT-PCR and Western blot analyses. Furthermore, the TNF-α and IL-6 levels, which were increased after APAP treatment in BALB/c mice, decreased after CFE treatment. Therefore, we demonstrated that CFE exerts a protective effect against APAP-induced liver injury by suppressing the inflammatory response through anti-inflammatory activity.

Each CFS showed antimicrobial activity against both foodborne and soft-rot pathogens. Washing salted kimchi cabbages inoculated with B. cereus with 5% CFS inhibited B. cereus to a greater extent than NaClO. The CFS from WiKim 83 and WiKim 87 exhibits inhibition rates of 25.09% and 24.21%, respectively, compared to the 19.19% rate of NaClO. Additionally, the CFS from WiKim 116 and WiKim 117 showed inhibition rates of 18.74% and 20.03%, respectively. Direct treatment of kimchi cabbage with soft-rot pathogens and CFS for five days inhibited the pathogens with similar efficacy to that of NaClO. To elucidate the antimicrobial activity mechanisms, pH neutralization, heat treatment, and organic acid analyses were performed. pH neutralization reduced the antimicrobial activity, whereas heat treatment did not, indicating that lactic, acetic, citric, and phenyllactic acids contribute to the thermal stability and antimicrobial properties of CFS.
