Article Abstract

A total of 26 lactic acid bacteria isolates from both Italian and Brazilian cheeses were tested for their use in cheesemaking. Isolates were screened for salt tolerance, exopolysaccharide and diacetyl production, lipolytic, acidifying, and proteolytic activities. In addition, the aminopeptidase (Pep N and Pep X) activities, were evaluated. Most of the strains demonstrated salt tolerance to 6% of NaCl, while only two (P14, P38), one (P50) and (Q3C4) were able to grow in the presence of 10% (/) of NaCl. Except for 2 (Q1C6 and Q3C4), all strains showed low or medium acidifying activity and good proteolytic features. Furthermore, lipolytic activity was revealed in none of the strains, while the production of EPS and diacetyl was widespread and variable among the tested strains. Finally, regarding aminopeptidase activities, 1 (P10), 1 (P50), and 1 (Q5C6) were considered as the better performing, showing high values of both Pep N and Pep X. Based on data presented here, the aforementioned strains could be suggested as promising adjunct cultures in cheesemaking.

Atherosclerosis (AS) is a chronic inflammatory disease driven by endothelial dysfunction, vascular smooth muscle cell proliferation, and insufficient resolution of inflammation. Nitric oxide (NO) plays a crucial role in vascular homeostasis by promoting endothelial cell proliferation, maintaining endothelial integrity, suppressing smooth muscle cell hyperplasia, and exerting potent anti-inflammatory effects. However, clinical application of NO is hindered by its short half-life, lack of targeting, and uncontrolled release.

SLC16A3 (MCT4) expression in tumor immunity and Metabolism: Insights from pan-cancer analysis.

Biochem Biophys Rep

June 2025

The Affiliated Traditional Chinese Medicine Hospital, Guangzhou Medical University, Guangzhou, Guangdong Province, China.

Background: SLC16A3, a highly expressed H + -coupled symporter, facilitates lactate transport via monocarboxylate transporters (MCTs), contributing to acidosis. Although SLC16A3 has been implicated in tumor development, its role in tumor immunity remains unclear.

Methods: A pan-cancer analysis was conducted using datasets from The Cancer Genome Atlas, Cancer Cell Line Encyclopedia, and Genotype-Tissue Expression projects.

The multi-component deep eutectic solvents (DES) have emerged as indispensable tools in the lignocellulosic pretreatment process, facilitating the efficient biotransformation of biomass sugars into valuable products. In this investigation, FeCl was ingeniously incorporated to amplify the pretreatment efficacy of a DES synthesized from cetyltrimethylammonium bromide (CTAB) and lactic acid (LA), specifically targeting poplar sawdust (PS). Remarkably, under the meticulously optimized molar ratio of 1: 4:1, this innovative ternary DES achieved an unprecedented removal of 68.
