Two Bacillus velezensis strains were tested: one (KS 38 AU) isolated from barley seeds and the other (KS 63 AU) from soybean seeds. Seed treatments based on these strains were applied to soybean (Glycine max L.). Two soybean cultivars differing in growth habit served as experimental material: cv. Lidiya (indeterminate type) and cv. Apis (determinate type). Plants were grown in a climate chamber under controlled conditions. At the V3 growth stage, leaf photosynthetic pigment content and free proline accumulation were assessed. Strain KS 63 AU was compatible with both soybean cultivars, increasing chlorophyll *a* content and reducing proline levels. In contrast, in the determinate cv. Apis, strain KS 38 AU caused a sharp decline in chlorophyll *a* content (to 36% of the control), yet paradoxically reduced proline to levels comparable with those of the compatible strain. The Cultivar × Strain interaction for proline was highly significant (p = 0.004). The results obtained for the determinate cv. Apis indicate that strain KS 38 AU may trigger accelerated leaf senescence with concomitant nitrogen remobilization. These findings demonstrate that endophyte origin and plant growth habit jointly determine the outcome of inoculation, which has direct implications for the rational selection of microbial inoculants based on seed-borne endophytic bacteria in legume production.","PeriodicalId":8805,"journal":{"name":"BIO Web of Conferences","volume":"238 1","pages":"01038-01038"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.bio-conferences.org/articles/bioconf/pdf/2026/31/bioconf_esdca2026_01038.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148305545","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}

The particle size, stability, encapsulation efficiency, and probe loading status of the liposomes were preliminarily investigated. The results showed that the prepared liposomes exhibited uniform particle size (approximately 160–170 nm, PdI < 0.15) and showed no significant changes in particle size during 21 days of storage at 4°C, indicating good in vitro stability. Elemental analysis revealed that chlorine signals colocalized with the liposome positions, suggesting the colocalization of QM-CF with liposomes. Chemiluminescence imaging further verified the probe loading status: free QM-CF exhibited luminescence only in methanol, while Lipo@QM-CF showed no luminescence but recovered upon methanol demulsification, with further enhancement in the presence of reactive oxygen species, confirming that QM- CF was successfully encapsulated within liposomes and possessed good ROS-responsive release capability. This study successfully demonstrates the construction of a liposome-based probe for ROS imaging, offering a novel strategy for detecting inflammatory microenvironments.","PeriodicalId":8805,"journal":{"name":"BIO Web of Conferences","volume":"237 1","pages":"02020-02020"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2026-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.bio-conferences.org/articles/bioconf/pdf/2026/30/bioconf_icbb2026_02020.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"148408664","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}

CD8 + T cells (>85% purity) were isolated from OT-1 mouse spleens and activated with SIINFEKL peptide and IL-2. B16F10 melanoma cells were stably transfected with firefly luciferase (B16F10-FLuc) to allow monitoring of tumor cell viability. In co-culture assays, luminescence signals from supernatants peaked at 3–5 hours and correlated strongly with T cell cytotoxicity. Pretreatment of tumor cells with Atractylenolide I (ATT-I), an MHC-I enhancer, amplified luminescence, validating the system’s sensitivity to immune modulation.

The highest yield of tubers (36.4 t/ha) was obtained from the Surpriz variety, which had a higher yield than the Severnoye siyanie and Amethyst varieties by 4.8-5.9 t/ha, which ensures a higher net photosynthetic productivity (NPP) compared to other varieties by 0.9-1.1 g/m2 day. For all varieties, the most effective was the use of MMC 2020 against the NPP background, which provided an increase in different varieties from 9.0 to 14.4 t/ha due to the growth of the leaf surface (leaf area and PP), as well as the content of photosynthetic pigments in the leaves (CCI index).

Expression levels of XBP1s and related markers (BIP, CHOP, IRE1α) were measured to analyze ER stress. Results indicated that HHT significantly reduced K562 cell viability, yielding an IC50 value of 28.53 nM. HHT treatment caused cell accumulation in the G0/G1 phase, indicating cell cycle arrest. It also activated ER stress pathways, leading to increased levels of XBP1s, BIP, and CHOP. The combination of HHT with the ER stress inhibitor 4PBA alleviated HHT-induced ER stress, enhancing its anti-tumor effects. This study demonstrates that HHT inhibits K562 cell proliferation while activating ER stress pathways, suggesting that modulating ER stress may enhance its therapeutic efficacy in myeloid leukemia.

Fifteen healthy 5-month-old Hu sheep (average body weight:25.31±2.24 kg) were randomly divided into 3 groups (5 sheep per group). The experiment consisted of 4 phases, with 3 treatments per phase and 5 replicates per treatment. A single-factor design was adopted, and the experimental diets comprised 10 total mixed rations (TMR). Each diet was fed for 20 days, including a 15-day adaptation period followed by a 5-day formal trial period, during which total feces and urine were collected and stored at −20°C. Results showed that nitrogen intake and total nitrogen excretion in sheep fed soybean meal, rapeseed meal, walnut meal, flaxseed meal, cottonseed meal, and rice distillers’ grains diets were significantly higher than those fed oat-,wheat-, corn-, and wheat bran-based diets ( P <0.05). Urinary nitrogen excretion in the walnut meal and soybean meal groups was significantly higher than in the other eight diets ( P <0.05). Absorbed nitrogen and nitrogen retention in the soybean meal and rapeseed meal groups were significantly higher than in the other eight diets ( P <0.05). Urinary uric acid excretion ranged from 0.14 to 0.40 mmol/d,with allantoin accounting for 85.63%–89.26% of total PD excretion. The proportion of uric acid in total PD excretion (0.81%–2.14%) was significantly lower in the rapeseed meal diet than in the other nine diets ( P < 0.05). Xanthine and hypoxanthine collectively represented 9.73%–12.92% of total PD excretion. The purine nitrogen index (PNI) of the four energy-supplemented diets was significantly higher than that of the five protein-supplemented diets (excluding rice distillers’ grains) ( P <0.05). These findings indicate that dietary composition and concentrate type significantly influence nitrogen excretion patterns in Hu sheep. Under the experimental conditions,sheep fed low-protein diets excreted nitrogen via both fecal and urinary pathways,whereas high-protein diets shifted nitrogen excretion predominantly to urine,with urinary nitrogen surpassing fecal nitrogen. Urinary PD excretion increased proportionally with elevated dietary nitrogen levels. This study provides critical insights into optimizing feed formulations to enhance nitrogen utilization efficiency and mitigate environmental pollution in ruminant production systems.","PeriodicalId":8805,"journal":{"name":"BIO Web of Conferences","volume":"182 1","pages":"01014-01014"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2025-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"https://www.bio-conferences.org/articles/bioconf/pdf/2025/33/bioconf_icfsb2025_01014.pdf","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"147331104","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}

This particular research was focused on the combined application of Bacillus amyloliquefaciens (B. amyloliquefaciens) and eugenol solution to inhibit the growth of Penicillium expansum (P. expansum) mycelia. The research encompassed tests on P. expansum spore germination rate, membrane permeability of P. expansum mycelia cells, decay rate determination of grapes and blueberries, measurement of total soluble solids (TSS), and evaluation of Glutathione Peroxidase (GSH-Px) enzyme activity. The findings revealed that the eugenol solution exhibited superior performance in inducing nucleic acid and protein leakage. Consequently, the research opted for the eugenol solution as a synergistic agent with B. amyloliquefaciens for postharvest fruit preservation. Grapes displayed more pronounced inhibition effects compared to blueberries. Subsequent investigations demonstrated that the combined approach of eugenol solution and B. amyloliquefaciens exhibited greater inhibitory effects than individual applications or the control group. Consequently, postharvest fruits can be effectively preserved, and the mycelial growth of pathogenic fungi can be restrained by using B. amyloliquefaciens and eugenol solution as a viable biocontrol technique. Moreover, several considerations must be addressed before adopting this method as an established biocontrol strategy. These considerations encompass the stability and availability of eugenol solution at elevated temperatures, enhanced inhibition against other types of pathogenic fungi, and identification of optimal storage conditions for biocontrol.
