We isolated the glycolipids fraction from spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) and found that the fraction inhibited the activities of prokaryotic DNA polymerase I from Escherichia coli (E. coli) and cell growth of E. coli. The fraction contained mainly three glycolipids, monogalactosyl diacylglycerol (MGDG), digalactosyl diacylglycerol (DGDG) and sulfoquinovosyl diacylglycerol (SQDG), and purified SQDG inhibited these activities, however, purified MGDG and DGDG had no influence. In the tested strains of E. coli, SQDG inhibited the cell proliferation of the JM109 strain. It could be considered that a SQDG-containing thylakoid membrane in plant chloroplasts might have anti-bacterial activity.

The persistence of the novel severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) and the emergence of new mutant strains continue to present a substantial threat with potential for future pandemics. Safe, effective, and readily available COVID-19 therapeutics are urgently needed to prepare for future coronavirus pandemics. To help identify new antiviral agents, the present study focused on natural products in the extracts of Holy Basil, Ocimum tenuiflorum L.

A Gram-stain-negative, strictly aerobic, motile, flagellated, rod-shaped, halotolerant, and poly--hydroxyalkanoate-producing bacterium, designated DP4N28-3, was isolated from offshore sediment surrounding hard coral in the Dapeng peninsula (Guangdong, PR China). Growth occurred at 15-35 °C (optimal at 30 °C), pH 6.0-9.

Article Synopsis
- - Two new bacterial strains, Y60-23 and HN-65, were discovered in marine sediments from China, showing 96.0% and 97.3% similarity to known strains based on genetic analysis.
- - Both strains are rod-shaped, Gram-negative, aerobic, and non-motile, with unique fatty acid profiles and common respiratory quinone.
- - The study proposes the classification of these strains as distinct new species based on phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, and genomic characteristics.

Phosphorus (P) has crucial roles in plant growth and development. Hydrogen sulphide (HS) has multiple functions in plants, particularly having the ability to promote tolerance to a variety of adversity stresses. However, it is unclear whether HS has a function when plants suffer Pi-deficiency stress.
