Article Abstract

Aims: To investigate the effect of CgMCUR1 on the phenotype of Candida glycerinogenes and Saccharomyces cerevisiae.

Methods And Results: Inhibition of CgMCUR1 expression reduced acetate, H2O2, and high temperature tolerance of C. glycerinogenes. Expression of CgMCUR1 resulted in better acetic acid, H2O2, and high temperature tolerance in recombinant S. cerevisiae. Meanwhile, CgMCUR1 was able to enhance intracellular proline accumulation. The qRT-PCR analysis revealed that overexpression of CgMCUR1 affected proline metabolism in recombinant S. cerevisiae. The overexpression strain also showed reduced levels of cellular lipid peroxidation and an altered ratio of saturated fatty acid (SFA) to unsaturated fatty acid (UFA) in the cell membrane. The ethanol production of recombinant S. cerevisiae at high temperature was 30.9 g l-1, obtaining an increase of 12%, and the conversion rate was increased by 12%. In the undetoxified cellulose hydrolysate, the ethanol yield was 14.7 g l-1 at 30 h with an improvement of 18.5%, and the conversion rate was increased by 15.3%.

Conclusions: Overexpression of CgMCUR1 rendered the acetic acid, H2O2, and high temperature tolerant of recombinant S. cerevisiae and enhanced the ethanol fermentation performance of recombinant S. cerevisiae under high temperature stress and in undetoxified cellulose hydrolysate by improving intracellular proline accumulation and by changing cellular physiological metabolism.

African Swine Fever (ASF), caused by the highly contagious African swine fever virus (ASFV), poses a significant threat to domestic and wild pigs worldwide. Despite its limited host range and lack of zoonotic potential, ASF has severe socio-economic and environmental consequences. Current control strategies primarily rely on early detection and culling of infected animals, but these measures are insufficient given the rapid spread of the disease.

Pesticides are widely used to meet the food demands of a growing population, with various types used to control pests depending on the crops grown. Rainfall, overspray, and runoff from agricultural fields can wash these insecticides into water bodies, posing documented environmental risks. Imidacloprid is commonly used in Afrotropical regions such as South Africa, yet limited information is available on its toxicity to aquatic ecosystems within this climate region.

Several micro- and nanoplastic particle (MNP) traits, like polymer type, size, and shape, have been shown to influence MNP toxicity. However, the direction and strength of these moderating effects are often unclear, and generalizations from single studies are challenging to establish. Meta-analyses increase generalizability and derive more accurate and precise effect size estimates by combining measurements from published studies.

Salmonella enterica serovar Typhi, the etiological agent of Typhoid fever, remains a critical public health concern associated with high morbidity in many developing countries. The widespread emergence of multidrug-resistant (MDR) Salmonella Typhi strains against the fluoroquinolone group of antibiotics, particularly ciprofloxacin, poses a significant global therapeutic challenge with underlying resistance due to mutations in quinolone-resistance determining region (QRDR) of gyrA gene, encoding DNA gyrase subunit A (GyrA). In pursuit of alternative therapeutic candidates, the present study was designed to evaluate ciprofloxacin analogues against prevalent GyrA mutations (S83F, D87G, and D87N) to overcome fluoroquinolone resistance through machine learning (ML)-based approach.

This study explores the computational isolation of prostaglandin (PG) isomers, specifically PG E (PGE) and D (PGD), to enhance method development efficiency and provide insights into their retention behavior during supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) combined with supercritical fluid chromatography (SFC)-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS). Although PGE and PGD are positional isomers that yield identical product ions in MS/MS, they serve distinct biological roles. This research illustrates the efficacy of selected reaction monitoring (SRM)-based techniques for differentiating coeluting isomers.
