We studied the effect of quinocitrinines on the respiratory activity of yeasts (Yarrowia lipolytica) and bacteria (Arthrobacter globiformis). Quinocitrinines were shown to activate respiration of native cells in both types of organisms. Studies of yeast mitochondria showed that quinocitrinine exerts an uncoupling effect on oxidative phosphorylation, which activates the respiration, reduces the respiratory control, and decreases the ADP/O ratio. Experiments with intact mitochondria and native cells of Arthrobacter globiformis revealed that quinocitrinine decreases the membrane potential. The uncoupling effect likely constitutes a mechanism of the antibiotic activity of quinocitrinines.

D-Allulose 3-epimerase catalyzes C-3 epimerization between D-fructose and D-allulose was found in strain M30. The enzyme gene was cloned, and its recombinant enzyme and the mutant variants were expressed in Using the information of the sequence and model structure, we succeed in the improvement of melting temperature for the enzyme without significant loss of the enzyme activity by protein engineering method. The melting temperatures were increased by 2.

Article Synopsis
- - The study isolates and characterizes two phages named JuneStar and Pumpkins, which are siphoviruses found in soil from Bismarck, ND, using the bacterial strain B2979-SEA.
- - Both phages are grouped into the actinobacteriophage cluster AZ1 based on similarities in their genetic content.
- - They possess a potential serine integrase, which is a common feature among cluster AZ1 phages, indicating that they likely exhibit a temperate lifestyle, allowing for both lytic and lysogenic cycles.

Phage JanetJ was isolated on and has siphovirus morphology. JanetJ's genome consists of 36,986 base pairs, encoding 52 putative protein-coding genes. JanetJ adds to the small number of previously isolated cluster FO phages, none of which encode identifiable immunity repressor or integrase functions, with the exception of phage Maja.

Unlabelled: Drought is a serious problem that impacts sugarcane production and productivity worldwide. In this current investigation, a codon-optimized choline oxidase () gene was transformed into hybrid cultivar Co 86032 through -mediated transformation. The transgenic events with the gene driven by the portubi882 (PD2) promoter accumulated elevated levels of glycine betaine (5 - 10µg/g) whereas untransformed control plants accumulated less than 1.
