Essential oils (EOs) not only have broad-spectrum antibacterial activity but also have a good ability to inhibit biofilm. However, the addition dose of EOs in practical application usually exceeds their flavor threshold, resulting in the appearance of undesired flavor. Therefore, synergistic antimicrobial may be a potential strategy to improve the antibacterial activity of EOs and to reduce their dosage. This paper focuses on the analysis of the synergistic anti-biofilm strategies based on EOs. Based on these, the action mechanism of EOs against biofilm and other commonly used anti-biofilm strategies in the food industry are summarized. The anti-biofilm mechanism of EOs is mainly related to inhibiting the synthesis of extracellular polysaccharides and proteins, destroying biofilm structure, inhibiting the metabolic activity of biofilm, inhibiting quorum sensing (QS) and regulating the formation of biofilm and the expression of toxicity-related genes. At present, the commonly used anti-biofilm strategies in the food industry mainly include physical strategies, chemical strategies and biological strategies, among which the combined application of different strategies is the future development trend. In particular, the synergistic anti-biofilm strategy based on EOs has shown great application value in the food industry. To sum up, some new information in this paper will give guidance and provide more reference for the development of efficient biofilm regulation strategies in future.","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"41 3","pages":"81"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516886","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The results showed that the growth stage had a stronger influence on endophytic bacterial diversity than the genotype, with diversity decreasing as growth progressed. However, the rhizospheric bacterial diversity was minimally affected by both growth stage and genotype. The variation in both rhizospheric and endophytic bacterial communities was primarily driven by the growth stages, but was also influenced by the genotype. Interestingly, there were distinct differences in changes in taxon abundance between the rhizospheric and endophytic bacterial communities, suggesting that the assembly mechanisms of these communities may differ, particularly in salt-sensitive rice. Additionally, certain genera were found to be enriched in the rhizosphere and endosphere compared to the bulk soil, and this enrichment varied depending on the growth stage and genotype. Notably, the dominant bacterium Clostridium was consistently enriched in the endosphere of salt-tolerant rice throughout all growth stages. This genus was also found to be more abundant overall in the rhizosphere and endosphere of salt-tolerant rice compared to salt-sensitive rice. These findings provide a deeper understanding of the co-evolution between rice and its associated microbes, and offer valuable insights for the isolation and application of beneficial root-associated bacteria in coastal saline-alkali soils.","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"41 3","pages":"76"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516867","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

In this study, more than three hundred marine isolates collected off the Gujarat Sea coast were tested for HDPE plastic utilizing ability. Among fifty-one positive noted isolates, RS124 as a potential strain was identified as Micrococcus flavus (accession is PP858228) based on 16 S rRNA gene sequencing and total cellular fatty acid profiling. Initial bacterial adherence on the film surface was shown in a scanning electron microscopy (SEM) image as a key step to biodegradation. Moreover, atomic force microscopy (AFM) shows that the film surface became more fragile, damaged, and rougher than untreated films. Shifts and alterations in peak transmittance with emergence of two new shouldered peak in degraded HDPE observed by fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) was associated to chemical and mechanical alteration. Thermogravimetric analysis (TGA) analysis designated larger difference in percent weight loss provisions thermal instability. In the enzymatic study, the highest activity of peroxidase and dehydrogenase was recorded on the 3rd and 4th weeks of treatment with strain, respectively, during co-incubation. Sodium dodecyl sulfate-polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis (SDS-PAGE) analysis disclosed the presence of a distinct 19 kDa size protein, uncovering its role in the colonization of bacteria on the hydrophilic HDPE surfaces. About 1.8% weight reduction in HDPE was recorded as a result after 30 days of bio-treatment with M. flavus. Hence, the entire observed results reveal that the M. flavus RS124 could be effectively applied for the degradation of HDPE. This is the first report on M. flavus that it exhibits plastic degrading characteristic ever, which may allow for green scavenging of plastic waste.","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"41 3","pages":"74"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-27","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143516868","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Five of the mentioned fungi were isolated from the bark, while A. arundinis was isolated from lichen of birch trees. Their extracellular extracts were used as elicitors. In most cases, these factors were significantly higher than the control. The growth index of Birch stem cells under the influence of different elicitors mostly yielded positive results.

This study investigated the unexpected role of Dps protein in maintaining outer membrane integrity of Salmonella Typhimurium. We observed that a Δdps mutant displayed increased sensitivity to glycopeptide antibiotics (vancomycin, nisin), which are ineffective against Gram-negative bacteria due to their thick outer membrane (OM). Furthermore, the Δdps mutant exhibited susceptibility to membrane-disrupting agents like detergents (deoxycholate, SDS) and phages. The perforation was observed in OM after the treatment of vancomycin using atomic force microscopy. Notably, this sensitivity was rescued by supplementing the media with calcium and magnesium cations. These findings suggest a novel function for Dps in maintaining outer membrane permeability. We propose two potential mechanisms: 1) Dps might directly localize to the outer membrane 2) Dps might regulate genes responsible for lipopolysaccharide synthesis or outer membrane proteins, key components of outer membrane. This study highlights a previously unknown role for Dps beyond DNA binding and warrants further investigation into the precise mechanism by which it influences outer membrane integrity in Salmonella.","PeriodicalId":23703,"journal":{"name":"World journal of microbiology & biotechnology","volume":"41 2","pages":"70"},"PeriodicalIF":4.0,"publicationDate":"2025-02-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC11821673/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"143411125","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":3,"RegionCategory":"生物学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The latter are termed as xenosiderophores. The acquired iron supports their growth, survival, and pathogenesis. Various microorganisms possess the ability to utilize xenosiderophores, a mechanism popularly termed as 'siderophore piracy' besides synthesizing their own siderophores. This adaptability allows microorganisms to conserve energy by reducing the load of siderogenesis. Owing to the presence of xenosiderophore transport machinery, these microbial systems can be used for targeting antibiotics-siderophore conjugates to control pathogenesis and combat antimicrobial resistance. This review outlines the significance of xenosiderophore utilization for growth, stress management and virulence. Siderogenesis and the molecular mechanism of its uptake by related organisms have been discussed vividly.

These technologies aim to reveal the structure, functions and interactions of organisms by studying processes at many levels of biomolecules, from the genome to metabolism. Lactobacillomics is introduced as an interdisciplinary field that integrates multiple \"omics\" technologies-including genomics, transcriptomics, proteomics, metabolomics, and metagenomics- to provide a comprehensive insight into \"lactic acid bacteria\" species. Lactobacillomics aims to elucidate the genetic, metabolic, and functional characteristics of lactic acid bacteria (LAB) species, providing insights into the mechanisms underlying their probiotic effects and contributions to the host microbiome. By analyzing genomes and metabolic pathways, researchers can identify specific genes responsible for health-promoting functions and desirable fermentation characteristics, which can guide the development of targeted probiotic strains with optimized health benefits. The integration of these omics data allows facilitating the discovery of biomarkers for health and disease states, the development of new probiotics tailored to specific populations or health conditions, and the optimization of fermentation processes to enhance the safety, flavor, and nutritional profile of fermented foods. A comprehensive review and bibliometric analysis were conducted to provide an overview of this promising field between 2005 and 2025 by examining Web of Science Core Collection data.
