Article Abstract

Duck hepatitis A virus type 1 (DHAV-1) demonstrates extremely high lethality in 3-week-old ducklings, while causing subclinical infections in adult ducks with latent pathogenicity. Our previous research developed a vaccine-functional probiotic preparation targeting DHAV-1-recombinant Bacillus subtilis RV. In the present study, we conducted a 28-day oral immunization trial in Cherry Valley ducks to evaluate the immunoprotective effects and probiotic functions of this engineered strain. Results showed that B. subtilis RV induced humoral and mucosal immune responses in ducklings, producing high levels of specific IgG and intestinal secretory IgA, demonstrating immune-enhancing capabilities. During DHAV-1 challenge tests, it significantly reduced viral loads in various organ tissues. Additionally, B. subtilis RV improved the growth performance and antioxidant capacity of ducklings. Furthermore, this engineered probiotic enhanced intestinal health by improving intestinal structure, increasing tight junction protein expression, and modulating gut microbiota composition. This study evaluates a novel vaccine-functional probiotic preparation, providing a new strategy for DHAV-1 prevention and control.

Polyurethane (PU), a segmented block copolymer with chemically resistant urethane linkages and tunable architecture, presents persistent biological recycling challenges. This study presents a Bacterial Laccase-Mediated System (BLMS) derived from for efficient degradation of polyester- and polyether-PU. Utilizing the laccase CotA and mediator 2,2'-azino-bis (3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS), the BLMS demonstrated effective de polymerization of both commercial and self-synthesized PU foams, including polyester- and polyether-types.

Background And Aim: Low birth weight and within-litter variations are major challenges in swine production, often exacerbated by highly prolific sow lines. Nutritional interventions such as amino acid and probiotic supplementation have shown promise, but their combined effects remain unexplored. This study aimed to evaluate the individual and interactive effects of QST 713 and L-arginine supplementation during late gestation on reproductive performance in sows.

Objectives: Antibiotic resistance towards penicillin has been attempted to counter by chemically modifying ampicillin through the conjugation with silver nanoparticles (AgNPs). The current study optimizes the conditions for synthesizing and characterizing AgNP-ampicillin to quantify the conjugation extent, evaluate the antibacterial efficacy, and explore the underlying antibacterial mechanisms.

Materials And Methods: AgNPs were synthesized from silver nitrate by chemical reduction method, silica-coated with tetraethyl orthosilicate (TEOS) and amine functionalized by (3-aminopropyl) triethoxysilane (APTES), which was then conjugated with ampicillin via the carbodiimide chemistry.
