Genetic bioaugmentation, whereby the required genes are delivered to resident bacteria via horizontal gene transfer, offers a promising solution to this problem. Here, we engineered a conjugative plasmid previously isolated from soil, pQBR57, to carry a synthetic set of genes allowing bacteria to consume terephthalate, a chemical component of plastics commonly released during their manufacture and breakdown. Our engineered plasmid caused a low fitness cost and was stably maintained in terephthalate-contaminated soil by the bacterium P. putida. Plasmid carriers efficiently bioremediated contaminated soil in model soil microcosms, achieving complete breakdown of 3.2 mg/g of terephthalate within 8 days. The engineered plasmid horizontally transferred the synthetic operon to P. fluorescens in situ, and the resulting transconjugants degraded 10 mM terephthalate during a 180-h incubation.

In this study, we designed a non-GMO surface-displayed SARS-CoV-2 spike S1 epitope on Limosilactobacillus fermentum-derived bacteria-like particles (BLPs). After that, we evaluated its efficacy to induce immune responses in immunocompetent mice. Moreover, we examined the influence of oral immunisation on the gut microbiome and microbiota metabolites. Twenty-eight 6-week-old male C57BL/6 mice were orally immunised with the following: PBS (control), Lm. fermentum-derived BLPs only, BLPs displaying SARS-CoV-2 spike S1-2, or BLPs displaying SARS-CoV-2 spike S1-3 epitopes. Our results showed that mucosal immunisation of mice with surface-displayed SARS-CoV-2 spike epitopes provoked high-level secretory IgA and systemic IgG production. Moreover, the immunisation exhibited a Th1-like immune response, characterised by an elevated IgG2a-to-IgG1 ratio and high antiviral IFN-γ production. In addition, we observed gut microbiome modulation and increased butyrate production in immunised mice.

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}

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.
