The STR exhibited uniform reporter expression and higher biomass accumulation, while the TCB showed delayed product formation and pronounced phenotypic diversification depending on the set mean residence time in the CFI. Single-cell fluorescence distributions revealed that the shorter mean residence time in the CFI resulted in pronounced subpopulation formation, whereas longer exposure attenuated heterogeneity, indicating transcriptional adaptation.

The FN3 domain, which contains the RGD sequence, is critical in tissue repair because it enables interaction with integrin receptors on the cell surface. However, the large molecular weight of wild-type FN presents challenges for its large-scale production through heterologous expression. Therefore, this study focused on cloning the FN3 functional domain of full-length FN for expression and validation. This study selected <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> as the expression host due to its prominent advantages, including efficient protein secretion, absence of endotoxins, and minimal codon bias. The recombinant vector pHT43-FN3 was successfully constructed through homologous recombination technology and transformed into <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> WB800N. The FN3 protein was successfully expressed after induction with IPTG. Following purification of the recombinant FN protein using a His-tag nickel column, SDS-PAGE analysis showed that the molecular weight of FN3 was approximately 27.3 kDa. Western blot analysis confirmed the correct expression of FN3, and the BCA protein assay kit determined a protein yield of 5.4 mg/L. CCK8 testing demonstrated the good biocompatibility of FN3. In vitro cell experiments showed that FN3 significantly promoted cell migration at a 20 μg/mL concentration and enhanced cell adhesion at 10 μg/mL. In summary, this study successfully utilized <i>Bacillus subtilis</i> to express the FN3 functional domain peptide from FN protein and has validated its ability to promote cell migration and adhesion.

Continued efforts to integrate wild blueberry genetic resources into blueberry breeding are essential to broaden the genetic diversity of cultivated blueberries. However, performing heteroploid crosses among <i>Vaccinium</i> species is challenging. Polyploid induction through tissue culture has been useful in bridging ploidy barriers. Mixoploid or chimeric shoots often are produced, along with solid polyploid mutants. These chimeras are mostly discarded because of their genome instability and the difficulty in identifying periclinal mutants carrying germline mutations. Since induced polyploidy in blueberries often results in a low frequency of solid mutant lines, it is important to recover solid polyploids through chimera dissociation. In this study, two vegetative propagation methods, i.e., axillary and adventitious shoot induction, were evaluated for their efficiency in chimera dissociation. Significantly higher rates of chimera dissociation were found in adventitious shoot induction compared to axillary shoot induction. Approximately 89% and 82% of the adventitious shoots induced from mixoploid lines 145.11 and 169.40 were solid polyploids, respectively, whereas only 25% and 53% of solid polyploids were recovered through axillary shoot induction in these lines.

Biological activity screening encompassed antioxidant assessment through DPPH• and •NO radical scavenging assays and FRAP analysis, while antidiabetic potential was evaluated using α-glucosidase and α-amylase inhibition assays. <i>C. sorokiniana</i> exhibited superior bioactivity with the highest antioxidant capacity (DPPH• IC<sub>50</sub> = 329.03 ± 4.30 µg/mL; •NO IC<sub>50</sub> = 435.53 ± 10.20 µg/mL; FRAP = 94.74 ± 5.72 mg TE/g) and strongest enzyme inhibition (α-glucosidase IC<sub>50</sub> = 752.75 ± 57.95 µg/mL; α-amylase IC<sub>50</sub> = 3458.50 ± 104.01 µg/mL). This is the first report on <i>C. sorokiniana</i> strain KU.B2's biological properties and phytochemical profile. These findings establish <i>C. sorokiniana</i> as a valuable biotechnological platform for pharmaceutical bioactive compound development.</p>","PeriodicalId":34490,"journal":{"name":"BioTech","volume":"14 2","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":2.7,"publicationDate":"2025-06-06","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC12190495/pdf/","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"144486339","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"OA","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
