Strains of Lactobacillus spp., isolated from sourdough and olive brines (seven strains), and three human isolates were screened for their antagonistic activity in coculture against the ureolytic pathogen Yersinia enterocolitica. A general reduction in the pathogen population was observed after 6 h when each Lactobacillus strain was cocultured with the pathogen at a ratio of 100:1 cfu ml(-1), causing an almost complete inhibition of urease activity. Strains were also screened for their performances in in vitro tests such as adhesion ability to Caco-2 cells, tolerance to low pH, bile salts, and simulated digestion, which enabled the differences between strains to be highlighted. Three strains, L. paracasei IMPC2.1 and L. plantarum ITM21B and ITM5BG, met the main criteria for selecting effective probiotics: the ability to inhibit the pathogen Y. enterocolitica and, consequently, its urease activity (ITM21B); survival of simulated digestion (ITM21B and IMPC2.1); strong adhesion ability to enterocytes and good survival at low pH and in the presence of bile salts (ITM5BG and IMPC2.1).

The haploid induction ability analysis of various mutation of OsMATL and OsDMPs in rice.

Background: The high-frequency induction rate of haploid is crucial for double haploid (DH) breeding. The combination of multiple haploid-induced genes, such as ZmPLA1/MATL/NLD and ZmDMP, can synergistically enhance the haploid induction rate (HIR) in maize. However, the potential synergistic effects between OsMATL and OsDMP genes in rice remain unclear.

Minimal study focused on the association between mixed pollutants in atmospheric particulate matter (PM) and their reproductive health risks. Utilizing a novel quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) integrated machine learning algorithms, we evaluated the mixed reproductive health risks associated with phthalates (PAEs) and organophosphates (OPEs) exposure by assessing the affinities of these compounds binding to estrogen receptors (ER) and androgen receptors (AR). The mixed toxicity equivalent factor (TEF) and mixed toxicity equivalent quantity (TEQ) by the QSAR model were all smaller than the sum TEF and TEQ of individual PAEs and OPEs, which may be due to the antagonistic effect of PAEs and OPEs monomers on reproductive toxicity.

Classical tissue recombination experiments demonstrate that cell-fate determination along the anterior-posterior axis of the Müllerian duct occurs prior to postnatal day 7 in mice. However, little is known about how these cell types are maintained in adults. In this study, we provide genetic evidence that a balance between antagonistic retinoic acid (RA) and estrogen signaling activity is required to maintain simple columnar cell fate in adult uterine epithelium.

Research into the role of probiotics-often referred to as "living supplements"-in cancer therapy is still in its early stages, and uncertainties regarding their effectiveness remain. Relevantly, chemopreventive and therapeutic effects of probiotics have been determined. There is also substantial evidence supporting their potential in cancer treatment such as immunotherapy.

Continuous monocultures alter the composition and function of root-associated microbiota, and thus compromise crop health and productivity. In comparison, little is known about how leaf-associated microbiota respond to continuous monocultures. Here, we profiled root and leaf-associated microbiota of peanut plants under monocropping and rotation conditions.
