The major nutrients, pH and temperature were evaluated for the exopolysaccharide (EPS) production by Daedalea dickinsii in submerged culture to derive an optimal medium composition and conditions as follows: 50 g/L maltose, 5 g/L soy peptone, 5 mM CaCl(2), at pH 6.0 and 28 °C. A purified EPS fraction was attained from gel filtration chromatography and its major molecular characteristics were determined. FT-IR spectral analysis revealed the prominent characteristic groups of polyhydric alcohols. GC analysis and NMR spectrum showed its major molecular composition of glucose and galactose. Furthermore, thermogravimetric analysis indicated its degradation temperature (T(d)) of 189 °C. The antioxidant activity of the EPS fraction showed a correlation with the molecular properties. It might be attributed to the functional groups in the EPS fraction, which can donate electrons to reduce the radicals to a more stable form or react with the free radicals to terminate the radical chain reaction.

A strain identified as was isolated from Chinese sauerkraut, and its exopolysaccharide (EPS) exhibited excellent in vitro cholesterol-lowering bioactivity. Besides, the whole genome of this strain and the structure characteristics of the purified EPS were investigated in this study. Z171 presented a strong EPS production capacity, with five nucleotide sugar biosynthesis pathways regulated by an EPS synthesis gene cluster.

Background: Ventricular tachycardia (VT) substrate characteristics before transcatheter pulmonary valve replacement (TPVR) in repaired tetralogy of Fallot (rTOF) are unknown.
Objectives: In this study, the authors sought to evaluate substrates for sustained monomorphic VT before TPVR in rTOF.
Methods: Retrospective (2017 to 2021) and prospective (commencing 2021) rTOF patients with native right ventricular outflow tract referred for electrophysiology study (EPS) before TPVR were included.

Microplastics (MPs) are prevalent in wastewater treatment systems, and their behavior is further complicated after undergoing aging processes. This study explored the impact of original and aged polyvinyl chloride (PVC) MPs on wastewater treatment performance and bacterial communities. Results revealed that Fenton-aging treatment induced surface roughening of the MPs and altered their chemical properties.

Silver nanoparticles (AgNPs) are increasingly used in various consumer products and industrial applications, raising concerns about their environmental impact on aquatic ecosystems. This study investigated the physicochemical stability, trophic transfer, and toxic effects of citrate-coated AgNPs in a freshwater food chain including the diatom Cyclotella meneghiniana and the gastropod Lymnaea stagnalis. AgNPs remained stable in the exposure medium, with a minimal dissolution (<0.
