Nonmodel microbes with unique advantages are emerging as industrial platforms, driven by advances in genetic engineering and omics technologies. Notable examples include the versatile soil bacterium Pseudomonas putida KT2440, the halophilic Halomonas bluephagenesis TD01, and the ethanologenic Zymomonas mobilis ZM4. While all three primarily use the Entner-Doudoroff pathway for glucose metabolism, they differ in various metabolic pathways and product synthesis.

The relationships between sex hormone levels and muscle composition in postmenopausal women remain underexplored. To address this gap, we conducted a cross-sectional observational study utilizing data from the Multi-Ethnic Study of Atherosclerosis. Our analysis included 682 postmenopausal women aged 45-84 years with complete data, with a mean age of 63.

Background: () biofilm associated infections are prevalent and persistent, posing a serious threat to human health and causing significant economic losses in animal husbandry. Nanoemulsions demonstrate significant potential in the treatment of bacterial biofilm associated infections due to their unique physical, chemical and biological properties. In this study, a novel cinnamaldehyde nanoemulsion with the ability to penetrate biofilm structures and eliminate biofilms was developed.

Milk proteins possess an abundance of free amino groups and exhibit diverse spatial structures. During food processing, these properties facilitate their interaction with hydrophobic ligands, such as linolenic acid. Exploring the IgE and IgG binding ability of linolenic acid-milk protein complexes at different temperatures, times, and molar ratios is crucial for controlling the allergenicity of milk proteins in food processing.
