The results showed that 227 bacterial genera and 20 fungi genera were shared in all samples, consisting of Saccharomyces, Filobasidium, Colletotrichum, Alternaria by Venn diagram analysis. Principle component analysis showed the microbiota structures between S01, SCA and S96 fermentation were similar, the major bacterial genera were Pseudomonas, unclassified_f_Enterobacteriaceae and Lactobacillus, whereas the major fungi genus was Saccharomyces. The biomarkers of bacterial genera in S01, SCA and S96 groups were detected using LEfSe analysis, in which Komagataeibacter, Micromonospora, Streptomyces, Brevibacterium and Agromyces were core microorganisms in the S01 group, SCA fermentation increased the relative abundance of Lactobacillus and Oenococcus, family Ruminococcaceae was dominant in the S96 group. The distinctions in fungi communities between S01, SCA and S96 group were not observed during the fermentation. Understanding of microbial diversity could aid to promote the formation of regional characteristics and the development of high-quality wines through the management of existing microorganisms in future.","PeriodicalId":7412,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology","volume":"43 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"90845357","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It is an important raw material for the third-generation biodiesel production and the production of functional fatty acid Docosahexaenoic Acid (DHA). However, the high cost of traditional fermentation medium has hindered the industrial production of lipid. Therefore, searching for raw materials that can be used by thraustochytrid with a wide range of sources and low prices has become a research hotspot in the production of lipids by thraustochytrid. In this study, corn steep liquor was applied for lipid production in thraustochytrid Aurantiochytrium SW1, various factors of corn medium were optimized by using Response Surface Methodology (RSM), including glucose concentration, Rotation Speed, Kinetin concentration and dilution rate of corn steep liquor. The optimal conditions were finally obtained as 72.37 g/L glucose, 2.28 mg/L kinetin, 270 rpm of rotation speed and 15 times of corn pulp dilution. The biomass, lipid and DHA yields obtained under the optimized conditions were 13.5, 7.9 and 42% of total fatty acids, respectively. Comparison with the traditional medium, the biomass, lipid and DHA production were promoted by 14.8, 31.6 and 31.3% respectively. The optimized medium using cheap corn steep liquor showed a better production level, which proved the feasibility of culturing Aurantiochytrium SW1 with cheap raw materials.","PeriodicalId":7412,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology","volume":"6 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"80506958","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

To explore a more effective treatment for these diseases, unknown microbe-drug associations must be identified. However, existing models to identify microbe-drug association are limited. In our article, a predictive model (WPCMF) is presented for identifying microbe-drug associations based on weighted profile and collaborative matrix factorization. In WPCMF, the Gaussian Interaction Profile (GIP) can be used for computing the similarities of microbe and the drug, respectively. Then we use the Canonical SMILES of drugs to compute the chemical structures similarity of drugs. Two drug similarities are fused into an integrated drug similarity matrix. Weighted profile and collaborative matrix factorization are applied for predicting potential microbe-drug associations. Experimental results show that WPCMF achieves the average Area Under the Curve (AUC) values of 0.9096±0.0028, 0.9195±0.0019 and 0.9236 in 5-fold Cross-Validation (5 CV), 10-fold Cross-Validation (10 CV) and Leave-One-Out-Cross-Validation (LOOCV), respectively, which consistently outperforms other related methods (KATZHMDA, WP, CMF and Kron RLS).

The huge amount generation made it as a serious environmental problem. But CSL is nutrient-rich with diverse amino acids and other trace elements. In this study, symbiotic biofertilizer was studied using CSL as main substrate. In this study, 9 industrial strains, which were recognized as high performance species in the biofertilizer industry were collected, including four bacillus, four fungus and one yeast species. Three dominant strains were selected finally, depending on the ability to dissolve phosphorus, ability for protein hydrolysis and cell growth. They were Bacillus subtilis 3301, Bacillus licheniformis and Aspergillus Niger. The results expressed that the highest growth cell count of Bacillus subtilis 3301 reached 3.1×10 CFU/mL, the highest protein hydrolysis capacity of Bacillus licheniformis reached 600 mg/L and the highest phosphorus-dissolving capacity of Aspergillus Niger reached 1100 mg/L respectively. Then, symbiotic fermentation of the three strains was carried out both in shake-flask culture and fermentation tank (5 L). Interestingly, series of significant data of symbiotic fermentation were obtained, which were different from individual cultures. Especially, the total growth cell count in the 5 L scale fermenter culture was higher than individual cultures, which proved the mutual promotion effect between different strains. This research would provide a new view to utilize the waste of corn steep liquor as high value-added agricultural products.","PeriodicalId":7412,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology","volume":"114 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"72805681","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

We performed the current study to investigate the expression of Vitamin D Receptor (VDR) in atherosclerotic human male aortas and to examine the effect of different doses of Vit. D supplementation on VDR expression in the aortas of male rats fed a High-Fat Diet (HFD). Human participants included 50 atherosclerotic male patients with anterior myocardial infarction and 131 control healthy males. Fifty male Wistar rats were divided into 2 groups: Control (Cont.) group; n = 10 and HFD fed rats; n = 40. The latter was divided equally into 4 subgroups according to the dose of Vit. D supplemented. Vitamin D was supplemented in 3 doses: (0.025, 0.05, 0.075 μg/kg) for a duration of 17 weeks. VDR expression score was immunohistochemically evaluated in aortas of both human and animal study groups. The current study revealed that Vit. D levels were significantly lower in atherosclerotic patients with myocardial infarctions compared to the human control group. Concurrent administration of Vit.

Blood samples were collected via caudal vein after administration and nuciferine concentrations in different points were determined by the method of HPLC-UV. Then the plasma concentration-time curves were drawn and the pharmacokinetics parameters were calculated by DAS 3.0 software. Besides, liver microsome from rabbit, rats and mice were prepared to study the metabolism of nuciferine in vitro. These results showed that nuciferine fitted two-compartment model in rabbits and rats and one-compartment model in mice. The calculated results of pharmacokinetics parameters showed that the fast absorption of nuciferine exhibited in rabbits, rats and mice, while the elimination was relatively slow. Compared with rabbits and rats, the nuciferine elimination was fastest in mice. The Km value of nuciferine metabolism in vitro was least in mice liver microsome, which suggested that the fastest metabolism of nuciferine existed in mice liver. Therefore, the pharmacokinetics characteristics of nuciferine in different species were significantly different, the elimination of nuciferine is the fastest in mice and the slowest in rabbits, which was in line with the in vitro metabolism trends by liver microsome from different species.","PeriodicalId":7412,"journal":{"name":"American Journal of Biochemistry and Biotechnology","volume":"20 1","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"78883745","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
