Article Synopsis
  • Previous research identified oncolytic vaccinia virus encoding lectin (oncoVV-AVL) as effective against colorectal and liver cancer cells, prompting further studies on its impact on gastric cancer (GC) cells.* -
  • Experiments showed that oncoVV-AVL increases reactive oxygen species and suppresses a protective protein, leading to enhanced viral replication and cancer cell death.* -
  • The treatment not only reduced tumor growth and induced necrosis in tumor tissues, but also suggested new potential therapies for gastric cancer.*

A Gram-negative, aerobic, chemoheterotrophic, rod-shaped, and motile bacterium, designated as LST-1, was isolated from wild Stevia rebaudiana Bertoni and subjected to a polyphasic taxonomic analysis. The LST-1 strain grew optimally at 37 °C and pH 6.0-7.

Aims: The present study aimed to specifically transform stevioside (ST) into rubusoside (RS) through bioconversion with high efficiency, seeking to endow steviol glycosides (SGs) with subtle flavours for commercial acceptability.

Methods And Results: An endophytic bacterium named Lelliottia LST-1 was screened and confirmed to specifically convert ST into RS, reaching a conversion rate of 75.4% after response surface optimization.
