The bile adapted strain Bifidobacterium animalis subsp. lactis IPLA-R1 secretes a high molecular weight exopolysaccharide (HMW-EPS) when grown on the surface of agar-MRSC. This EPS is composed of L-rhamnopyranosyl, D-glucopyranosyl, D-galactopyranosyl and D-galactofuranosyl residues in the ratio of 3:1:1:1. Linkage analysis and 1D and 2D NMR spectroscopy were used to show that the EPS has a hexasaccharide repeating unit with the following structure: [See formula in text]. Treatment of the EPS with mild acid cleanly removed the terminal d-galactofuranosyl residue. The eps cluster sequenced for strain IPLA-R1 showed high genetic homology with putative eps clusters annotated in the genomes of strains from the same species. It is of note that several genes coding for rhamnose-precursors are present in the eps cluster, which could be correlated with the high percentage of rhamnose detected in its EPS repeated unit.

Three-year course of clinical high-risk symptoms for psychosis in the community: a latent class analysis.

University Hospital of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry and Psychotherapy, University of Bern, Bern, Switzerland.
Aims: Clinical high-risk for psychosis (CHR-P) states exhibit diverse clinical presentations, prompting a shift towards broader outcome assessments beyond psychosis manifestation. To elucidate more uniform clinical profiles and their trajectories, we investigated CHR-P profiles in a community sample.
Methods: Participants ( = 829; baseline age: 16-40 years) comprised individuals from a Swiss community sample who were followed up over roughly 3 years.

During the self-healing process of Bacillus subtilis biofilms on a solid MSgg substrate, large-scale ordered clusters emerge within the biofilm, providing an invasive advantages. To investigate the self-healing mechanism, an agent-based model is employed to simulate the self-healing processes of biofilms at two ages. The study reveals that a uniform cell distribution facilitates the healing of biofilm incisions.

An iron-carbon coupled biofilm airlift internal circulation sequencing batch reactor (IC-SBR) was constructed to treat low-carbon source wastewater. Single-factor experiments were used to determine the optimal operating conditions for the IC-SBR, with a hydraulic retention time (HRT) of 10 h, a dissolved oxygen (DO) concentration of 3 mg/L, a C/N ratio of 3, and an influent NH-N concentration of 50 mg/L, with average removal efficiencies of total nitrogen (TN) and total organic carbon (TOC) of 78.06% and 97.

Consumers often seek healthier options but still desire the familiar eating experience of traditional dairy. Incorporating exopolysaccharide (EPS)-producing cultures into fermented plant-based milk alternatives (PBMAs) offers a promising approach to improving the textural quality of these products. For this, it is essential that the EPS-producing cultures are able to produce EPS in the plant-based substrate.
