The rapid spread of multidrug-resistant pathogens with the low efficacy of common antibiotics for humans and animals in its clinical therapeutics are a global health concern. Therefore, there is a need to develop new treatment strategies to control them clinically. The study aimed to evaluate the effects of Plantaricin Bio-LP1 bacteriocin produced from Lactiplantibacillus plantarum NWAFU-BIO-BS29 to alleviate the inflammation caused by multidrug-resistance Escherichia Coli (MDR-E.

Article Synopsis
  • This research focused on a polysaccharide called PPP-2, extracted from the peel of Diospyros kaki, showcasing its structural features and antioxidant potential.
  • PPP-2 was found to contain a high proportion of galacturonic acid and had a distinct triple helical structure, with a degradation temperature of about 251.09 °C.
  • The study also identified its capability to inhibit various free radicals, indicating that PPP-2 could serve as a promising natural antioxidant for use in pharmaceuticals or functional foods.

Lactic acid bacteria are one of the bioresources that can promote the host's health and have potential therapeutic applications. This study aimed to evaluate the probiotic properties of novel NWAFU-BISO-BS29 isolated in vitro from traditional Chinese fermented milk, assess its safety, and study its interaction with the gut microbiota using a BALB/c mouse model. The findings reveal that this strain had a high tolerance to gastric acidity (64.

One of the most important challenges in the field of food safety is producing natural and safe substances that act against pathogens in food. Bacteriocins and antimicrobial peptides (AMPs) have an anti-pathogens effect for both Gram-negative and positive bacteria. The aim of this study was to isolate and characterize safe lactic acid bacteria from traditional Chinese fermented milk that can produce anti-bacterial molecule compounds and does not harm for humans and animals.

Unlabelled: Lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are believed to have health-promoting properties to the host and can be used in therapeutics interventions; intriguingly, they have the property to produce bio-preservatives substances. Therefore, this study aimed to mine probiotics and evaluate their safety, functional properties, and cholesterol-lowering capability. Seven potential probiotic strains were compared from 56 LAB strains isolated from traditional Chinese fermented milk.

Bacteriocins are generally considered as low-molecular-weight ribosomal peptides or proteins synthesized by G and G bacteria that inhibit or kill other related or unrelated microorganisms. However, low yield is an important factor restricting the application of bacteriocins. This paper reviews mining methods, heterologous expression in different systems, the purification technologies applied to bacteriocins, and identification methods, as well as the antibacterial mechanism and applications in three different food systems.

A novel crude exopolysaccharide (EPS) produced by Lactobacillus plantarum KX041 possessed prominent antioxidant activity which was proved in our previous study. In our present study, the further purifications were conducted to obtain EPS fractions, which were called as EPS-1-1, EPS-2-1 and EPS-3. The structures and conformational characterizations were determined through FT-IR, UV, GC, HPLC, NMR, SEM and Congo red test analysis.

Lignin valorization can be obtained through cleavage of selected bonds by microbial enzymes, in which lignin is segregated from cellulose and hemicellulose and abundant phenolic compounds can be provided. In this study, Pseudomonas sp. Q18, previously isolated from rotten wood in China, was used to degrade alkali lignin and raw lignocellulosic material.
