Article Synopsis
- Vitamin B12 deficiency contributes to oxidative stress, linked to neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, while mogrosides, plant-derived compounds, show potential anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties.
- The study explored mogrosides' protective effects in two types of C. elegans worms: vitamin B12-deficient wild-type N2 and transgenic CL2355, which expresses amyloid-β peptide associated with Alzheimer's.
- Findings suggested mogrosides improved the lifespan and reproductive rates of N2 worms and delayed paralysis in CL2355, indicating their role in enhancing oxidative protective gene expression rather than providing a cure for vitamin B12 deficiency.
From Farm to Fingers: an Exploration of Probiotics for Oysters, from Production to Human Consumption.
Probiotics Antimicrob Proteins
June 2020
Oysters hold a unique place within the field of aquaculture as one of the only organisms that is regularly shipped live to be consumed whole and raw. The microbiota of oysters is capable of adapting to a wide range of environmental conditions within their dynamic estuarine environments; however, human aquaculture practices can challenge the resilience of this microbial community. Several discrete stages in oyster cultivation and market processing can cause disruption to the oyster microbiota, thus increasing the possibility of proliferation by pathogens and spoilage bacteria.
