BCB1H had good <i>in vitro</i> probiotic properties, which survived well in simulated artificial gastrointestinal fluid, and exhibited acid and bile salt resistance.

The EPS produced by BCB1H also had certain antioxidant activity and hypoglycemic function. Moreover, the genome with a 42.4 % GC content and a size of roughly 1.92 million base pairs was analyzed in the genomic investigations. The genome annotation identified 192 subsystems and 1,895 genes, offering light on the metabolic pathways and functional categories found in BCB1H. The identification of specialty genes linked to the metabolism of carbohydrates, stress response, pathogenicity, and amino acids highlighted the strain's versatility and possible uses. This study establishes the groundwork for future investigations by highlighting the significance of using multiple strains to investigate genetic diversity and experimental validation of predicted genes.

Employing the use of deep learning artificial intelligence (AI) drug design, this study aims to alleviate the current toxicity of the AKU drugs currently in use, particularly nitisinone, by utilizing the natural flavanol kaempferol molecule as a 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase inhibitor.

The docking of the AIGT with 4-hydroxyphenylpyruvate dioxygenase, which revealed a binding affinity of around -9.099 kcal/mol, highlights the AIK's potential as a therapeutic candidate.

Compounds <b>1</b>, <b>7</b> and <b>9,</b> AcOEt and MeOH extracts exhibited moderate antioxidant activity with an IC<sub>50</sub> value of 179.32, 185.21, 195.11 197.41 and 170.21 μg/mL, respectively, for reactive oxygen species inhibition and, inhibition percent value of 57.23, 64.52, 53.55, 67.42 and 65.04, respectively, for DPPH free-radical scavenging. The <b>E. MeOH</b> presented a moderate antibacterial activity against <i>Staphylococcus aureus</i> with DIZs value of 10.1 ± 0.2 from 800 μg/mL while the others tested strains were not sensitive. However, most of the tested bacteria, (<i>S. aureus</i>, <i>Escherichia coli</i> and <i>Salmonella typhimurium</i>) were moderately sensitive to <b>E. AcOEt</b> from 800 μg/mL with DIZs value of 8.2 ± 0.1. From the E. AcOEt, five of the isolated compounds were tested against four bacteria strains using the disc-dilusion method. The results showed that compound <b>1</b> and <b>2</b> exhibited very good antibacterial activity against all the tested bacteria at the concentration of 30 μg/mL with respective DIZ value of 22.2 and 25.4 for <i>E. coli</i>, 20.2 and 30.2 for <i>S. typhimurium</i>, 22.3 and 23.1 for <i>S. aureus</i> and, 22.1 and 24.1 for <i>Streptococcus faecalis</i>. This antibacterial activity significantly depends on the concentration.</p>","PeriodicalId":49344,"journal":{"name":"Zeitschrift Fur Naturforschung Section C-A Journal of Biosciences","volume":null,"pages":null},"PeriodicalIF":1.8,"publicationDate":"2024-06-28","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"141460226","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}
