The UPLC-ESI-Q-TOF-MS<sup>E</sup> analysis showed 59 compounds in the leaf, stem, and vegetable extracts of M. corchorifolia. The crystal violet staining assay clearly showed that the extracts of M. corchorifolia have excellent antibiofilm activity against Proteus mirabilis and Salmonella typhi. The extracts of M. corchorifolia also caused the architecture of the bacterial biofilm by inhibiting the adherence to polystyrene and auto-aggregation and subsequently inhibiting the growth and colonization of the biofilm-forming bacteria P. mirabilis and S. typhi. The extracts of M. corchorifolia accelerate the wound healing process in BALB/c mice by completely closing the wound on the 20th day of treatment. Together, the phytochemicals present in the leaf, stem, and vegetable extracts of M. corchorifolia are responsible for potent antibiofilm and wound healing properties and could be used as an excellent remedy for treating chronic wounds and their associated infectious disease.</p>","PeriodicalId":465,"journal":{"name":"Applied Biochemistry and Biotechnology","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":3.1,"publicationDate":"2024-08-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"142103074","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"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, cellulose was added as the co-fermentation substrate during the fermentation process at 30 ℃ and 50 ℃ to enhance the production of VFAs. The result indicated that cellulose could significantly increase the yield of VFAs in both 30 ℃ and 50 ℃. Meanwhile, COD and reducing sugar generation in the fermentation process were also measure. Analysis of the microbial community structure at the class and genus levels revealed that the proportion of several genus closely related with cellulose degradation such as Cellvibrio, Fibrobacter, and Sporocytophaga were significantly increased with the addition of cellulose. Co-fermentation was recognized as an economic and environmental friendly strategy for sludge and other solid waste treatment.

This study investigates the feasibility of enzymatic treatment in conjunction with co-fermentation with yeast and lactic acid bacteria to improve the quality of low-quality cigarettes. Amylase, flavourzyme, glucoamylase, protease, and their combinations were used for the enzymatic treatment of tobacco-sorghum by using the liquid-state fermentation method. The biochemical components and flavor substances of the fermented products were analyzed. The findings show that amylase and glucoamylase can effectively degrade starch into fermentable reducing sugars, facilitate microbial growth and proliferation, and significantly enhance the levels of flavoring alcohols and esters. Flavourzyme and glucoamylase, either individually or combined with amylase, achieved a more balanced distribution of flavor substances in the products. Additionally, flavourzyme was capable of increasing the content of guaiacol, solanesol, and 2-acetylpyrrole in the fermented products, thereby improving the richness and depth of the cigarette flavor. While the protease treatment group showed fewer flavor substances and higher nicotine content, which was detrimental to the quality of cigarettes. When integrating the fermentation products into low-quality cigarettes, flavourzyme and glucoamylase combined with amylase treatment received higher scores in sensory quality evaluations.

The Nocardiopsis dassonvillei strain VCS-4, associated with seaweed Caulerpa scalpeliformis, was a halo-alkaline protease producer. Further investigation focuses on medium optimization and the use of agro-industrial waste for economically feasible, high-yield protease production. A total of 12 experimental runs were designed using Minitab-20 software and Placket-Burman design. Among the 7 physicochemical parameters analyzed, incubation time and gelatin were detected as significant factors responsible for higher protease production. Incubation time and gelatin were further analyzed using OVATs. Optimal protease production was achieved with 2% gelatin, 0.1% yeast extract, 0.1% bacteriological peptone, 7% NaCl, pH 8, 5% inoculum, and a 7-day incubation period, resulting in a maximum protease activity (Pmax) of 363.97 U/mL, generation time of 11.9 h, specific growth rate of 0.161 g/mL/h, and protease productivity (Qp) of 61.65 U/mL/h. Moreover, utilizing groundnut cake as an agro-industrial waste led to enhanced production parameters: Pmax of 408.42 U/mL, generation time of 9.74 h, specific growth rate of 0.361 g/mL/h, and Qp of 68.07 U/mL/h. The immobilization of crude protease was achieved using Seralite SRC 120 as a support matrix resulting in 470.38 U/g immobilization, 88.20% immobilization yield, and 28.90% recovery activity. Characterization of both crude and immobilized proteases revealed optimal activity at pH 10 and 70 °C.
