AI approaches have recently revolutionised this field by accelerating the discovery of new peptides with anti-infective activity, particularly in preclinical mouse models. Initially, classical ML approaches dominated the field, but recently there has been a shift towards deep learning (DL) models. Despite significant contributions, existing reviews have not thoroughly explored the potential of large language models (LLMs), graph neural networks (GNNs) and structure-guided AMP discovery and design. This review aims to fill that gap by providing a comprehensive overview of the latest advancements, challenges and opportunities in using AI methods, with a particular emphasis on LLMs, GNNs and structure-guided design.

Here, two highly active defluorinases with different activities were constitutively expressed in <i>Pseudomonas putida</i> ATCC 12633 to examine adaption to fluoride stress. Each strain was grown on α-fluorophenylacetic acid as the sole carbon source via defluorination to mandelic acid, and each showed immediate fluoride release and delayed growth. Adaptive evolution was performed for each recombinant strain by serial transfer. Both strains adapted to show a much shorter lag and a higher growth yield. The observed adaptation occurred rapidly and reproducibly, within 50 generations each time. After adaption, growth with 50–70 mM α-fluorophenylacetic acid was significantly faster with more fluoride release than a preadapted culture due to larger cell populations. Genomic sequencing of both pre- and postadapted strain pairs revealed decreases in the defluorinase gene content. With both defluorinases, adaption produced a 56%–57% decrease in the plasmid copy number. Additionally, during adaption of the strain expressing the faster defluorinase, two plasmids were present: the original and a derivative in which the defluorinase gene was deleted. An examination of the enzyme rates in the pathway suggested that the defluorinase rate was concurrently optimised for pathway flux and minimising fluoride toxicity. The rapid alteration of plasmid copy number and mutation was consistent with other studies on microbial responses to stresses such as antibiotics. The data presented here support the idea that fluoride stress is significant during the biodegradation of organofluorine compounds and suggest engineered strains will be under strong selective pressure to decrease fluoride stress.</p>","PeriodicalId":209,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Biotechnology","volume":"17 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-26","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11670473/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142890743","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Among these, pseudomonads, commonly found in soil and in association with plants' root system, have been shown to enhance plant tolerance to salinity and drought, primarily affecting root system architecture in various hosts. However, a comprehensive understanding of how these bacteria affect plant responses at the cellular, physiological and molecular levels is still lacking. In this study, we investigated the effects of two <i>Pseudomonas</i> spp. strains, E102 and E141, which were previously isolated from date palm roots and have demonstrated efficacy in promoting drought tolerance in their hosts. These strains colonize plant roots, influencing root architecture by inhibiting primary root growth while promoting root hair elongation and lateral root formation. Strains E102 and E141 increased auxin levels in <i>Arabidopsis</i>, whereas this effect was diminished in IAA-defective mutant strains, which exhibited reduced IAA production. In all cases, the effectiveness of the bacteria relies on the functioning of the plant auxin response and transport machinery. Notably, such physiological and morphological changes provide an adaptive advantage to the plant, specifically under stress conditions such as salinity. Collectively, this study demonstrates that by leveraging the host's auxin signalling machinery, strains E102 and E141 significantly improve plant resilience to abiotic stresses, positioning them as potential biopromoters/bioprotectors for crop production and ecosystem restoration in alignment with Nature-based Solution approaches.</p>","PeriodicalId":209,"journal":{"name":"Microbial Biotechnology","volume":"17 12","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":5.7,"publicationDate":"2024-12-18","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/epdf/10.1111/1751-7915.70043","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142845477","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":2,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Destroying the whole-cell catalyst drives up production costs and limits productivity and product yield per cell. Here, in situ product extraction of triterpenoids into a second organic phase was researched to address this limitation. An organic solvent screening identified water-immiscible isopropyl myristate as a suitable in situ extractant, enabling extraction of up to 90% of total triterpenoids from engineered <i>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</i>. Combining isopropyl myristate and β-cyclodextrins improved extraction efficiency. In a first configuration, repeated batch fermentation with sequential product extraction and cell recycling resulted in 1.8 times higher production than a reference fermentation without in situ product extraction. In the second configuration, yeast cells were in contact with the second organic phase throughout a fed-batch fermentation to continuously extract triterpenoids.

A bioprospecting pipeline was applied to a collection of 380 actinobacterial strains, recovered from two macroalgae species collected in the Portuguese northern shore—<i>Codium tomentosum</i> and <i>Chondrus crispus—</i>in order to explore their ability to produce antibacterial, antifungal, anticancer and lipid-reducing compounds.
