A model for noninhibitory microbial growth has been developed which is superior to the Monod model in that it can predict the decline in steady-state growth yields at both the slow and the fast specific growth rates. The model parameters are evaluated from data obtained for steady-state, phenol-limited Pseudomonas putida growth using a conventional 1-dm(3) cheniostat. The model also has been successfully applied to Mor and Fiechter's data for cheniostat yeast cultures.

The natural 5-azaindoles, marine sponge guitarrin C and D, were observed to exert inhibitory activity against a highly active alkaline phosphatase (ALP) CmAP of the PhoA family from the marine bacterium , with IC values of 8.5 and 110 µM, respectively. The superimposition of CmAP complexes with -nitrophenyl phosphate (NPP), a commonly used chromogenic aryl substrate for ALP, and the inhibitory guitarrins C, D, and the non-inhibitory guitarrins A, B, and E revealed that the presence of a carboxyl group at C6 together with a hydroxyl group at C8 is a prerequisite for the inhibitory effect of 5-azaindoles on ALP activity.

Article Synopsis
- The study focuses on how IgM antibodies, which are produced in patients with hemophilia A, interact with factor VIII (FVIII) and potentially influence the development of harmful IgG inhibitors.
- Researchers identified specific FVIII-targeting IgM antibodies from mice and analyzed their binding capabilities using advanced lab techniques.
- Results indicated that while the IgM antibodies can bind to FVIII, they do not significantly influence the production of IgG inhibitors, suggesting that IgM's role may be limited in this context.

Article Synopsis
- * Researchers developed high-throughput assays to find compounds that correct severe misfolding of the pathogenic L444P-variant of GCase, screening over 10,000 compounds and identifying multiple stabilizers.
- * The study demonstrated that a specific compound, NCGC326, not only improved GCase levels but also worked well in combination with other treatments, suggesting potential for enhanced therapeutic approaches.
Development of quantitative high-throughput screening assays to identify, validate, and optimize small-molecule stabilizers of misfolded β-glucocerebrosidase with therapeutic potential for Gaucher disease and Parkinson's disease.

Glucocerebrosidase (GCase) is implicated in both a rare, monogenic disorder (Gaucher disease, GD) and a common, multifactorial condition (Parkinson's disease); hence, it is an urgent therapeutic target. To identify correctors of severe protein misfolding and trafficking obstruction manifested by the pathogenic L444P-variant of GCase, we developed a suite of quantitative, high-throughput, cell-based assays. First, we labeled GCase with a small pro-luminescent HiBiT peptide reporter tag, enabling quantitation of protein stabilization in cells while faithfully maintaining target biology.

Organic acids are widely used in foodstuffs to inhibit pathogen and spoiler growth. In this study, six organic acids (acetic, lactic, propionic, phenyllactic, caprylic, and lauric acid) and monolaurin were selected based on their physicochemical properties: their molecular structure (carbon chain length), their lipophilicity (logP), and their ability to dissociate in a liquid environment (pKa). The relation between these physicochemical properties and the inhibitory efficacy against B.
