However, fundamental questions remain regarding their deposition kinetics, potential dynamics, and functional interplay with other rRNA modifications. Here, using ac4C-Sanger, we quantitatively profiled ribosomal ac4C modifications across various rRNA precursors and in mature rRNA under varied conditions in <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>. We show that ac4C accumulates progressively during 18S rRNA maturation, with distinct kinetics at each site. Moreover, ribosomal ac4C levels are dynamic and respond to growth phase and thermal stress in a site-specific manner. Changes in modifications under heat stress are accompanied by alterations in translation fidelity and efficiency, although evidence is still lacking to establish a causal relationship. Genetic perturbation of the box C/D snoRNA snR40, which guides 2′-O-methylation Gm1271, revealed a differential effect on both ac4C sites, despite the spatial proximity of Gm1271 to only one of them. Beyond ac4C-Sanger, we also demonstrate that High-Resolution Melting (HRM) and SELECT (a single-base elongation- and ligation-based qPCR amplification method) can serve as orthogonal approaches to effectively detect and quantitatively measure ac4C at known sites. Collectively, our work establishes ribosomal ac4C as a dynamic epitranscriptomic mark, suggests intricate interdependencies governing its biogenesis, and provides accessible tools for its investigation, thereby underscoring the integrated and adaptive nature of the ribosomal modification landscape.</div></div>","PeriodicalId":19190,"journal":{"name":"New biotechnology","volume":"92 ","pages":"Pages 62-73"},"PeriodicalIF":4.9,"publicationDate":"2026-05-25","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"145934410","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Microalgae cultivation on whey represents a sustainable biotechnological approach that couples biomass production with effluent treatment. This study aimed at optimizing microalgal cultivation using ricotta cheese whey as substrate. Eighteen microalgal strains, mainly belonging to <em>Scenedesmus</em> and <em>Chlorella</em>, were initially screened for their ability to grow on whey. Selected strains were further tested in 300-mL photobioreactors under different management options: Low Whey Load (LWL), High Whey Load (HWL), Salinity and Micronutrient (S&amp;M), and Moderate Whey Load (MWL) trials. Results showed that most of the tested strains grew better when cultivated on diluted whey than on standard synthetic media, with increases from 56 to 590 % during the first days, and with high removal efficiencies. Several issues were identified during the trials, including nutrient shortage, salinity increase, micronutrients deficiency and potential inhibitory effects of whey compounds, which have hindered long term cultivation of microalgae on whey. In MWL trial, optimization of whey concentration (12 % v/v), replenishment strategy (30 % of the culture volume every 3-days), and micronutrient supplementation overcame these issues extending the cultivation period and improving biomass yield (203.6 billion cells L<sup>−1</sup> whey<sup>−1</sup> with the best strain).

Fluorinated Ethylene Propylene (FEP) tubing was selected for its low cost and compatibility with stable water-in-oil emulsification, facilitating robust droplet generation. The system achieved a 33333-fold reduction in media consumption compared to traditional Erlenmeyer flask cultures. Growth kinetics and GFP expression were assessed in both Erlenmeyer flasks and microdroplets, showing high qualitative correlation between platforms. Low glucose levels (5–10 g/L) supported rapid initial growth and early GFP production, followed by a fluorescence decline due to nutrient depletion. In contrast, higher glucose concentrations (25–50 g/L) prolonged the exponential phase and enhanced GFP production per unit biomass, though growth was slowed by overflow metabolism. In microdroplets, delayed GFP expression at 25 and 50 g/L were observed, and parallel bioreactor experiments confirmed that this delay is caused by oxygen limitation at high glucose concentrations. Importantly, the microfluidic device enables controlled variation of oxygen availability simply by adjusting droplet size or generation frequency, providing a powerful means to probe oxygen-sensitive metabolic behaviors.
