Revealing the multi-target destruction induced by proanthocyanidins against sp. at the molecular level.

Proanthocyanidins, which are polyphenolic compounds resulting from the condensation of monomeric flavan-3-ols, exhibit antibacterial activity. This study aimed to investigate the impact of proanthocyanidins on the growth and cell membrane of sp., as well as explore their interaction with intracellular macromolecules to comprehensively elucidate the inhibitory mechanism against sp.

Potential applications of pulsed electric field in the fermented wine industry.

Fermented wine refers to alcoholic beverages with complex flavor substances directly produced by raw materials (fruit or rice) through microbial fermentation (yeast and bacteria). Its production steps usually include saccharification, fermentation, filtration, sterilization, aging, etc., which is a complicated and time-consuming process.

Normal-state properties of the quasi-one-dimensional superconductor TaPdTe.

We examined the physical properties of the quasi-one-dimensional superconductor TaPdTe in the normal state by detailed measurements of susceptibility, in-plane anisotropic resistivity, magnetoresistance, Hall resistivity, and Seebeck coefficient. The large Wilson ratio, as inferred from normal-state susceptibility, indicates strong electron-electron interaction. The Hall and Seebeck coefficients show not only significant temperature-dependent behavior, indicating the multiband effect, but also an obvious anomaly around T   =  40 K.
