Two strains of transgenic Flammulina velutipes TF71 and TF7H with 4cl and rs genes with the capability to produce resveratrol were obtained. In the nutrition assessment and analysis of transgenic strain and original strain (F7), the amino acid composition and proximate compositions of fruiting bodies were determined by amino acid automatic instrument and standard methods of the Association of Official Analytical Chemists (AOAC), while 4-coumaric acid, total flavonoids, and resveratrol were extracted by ethyl acetate and quantified by HPLC. Results indicated that significant differences were observed in proximate composition and amino acid between transgenic and original strains, but these detected components were within the normal ranges reported for F. velutipes. Total flavonoids and 4-coumaric acid contents of transgenic strains are lower than F7. Most important of all, resveratrol has been detected from TF71 and TF7H fruiting body but not found in F7, which was firstly produced by a transgenic mushroom.

L-valine holds wide-ranging applications in medicine, food, feed, and various industrial sectors. Escherichia coli, a pivotal strain in industrial L-valine production, features a concise fermentation period and a well-defined genetic background. This study focuses on mismatch repair genes (mutH, mutL, mutS, and recG) and genes associated with mutagenesis (dinB, rpoS, rpoD, and recA), employing a high-glucose adaptive culture in conjunction with metabolic modifications to systematically screen for superior phenotypes.

Complementary Strategies to Identify Differentially Expressed Genes in the Choroid Plexus of Patients with Progressive Multiple Sclerosis.

Neuroinformatics

Multiple sclerosis (MS) is a neurological disease causing myelin and axon damage through inflammatory and autoimmune processes. Despite affecting millions worldwide, understanding its genetic pathways remains limited. The choroid plexus (ChP) has been studied in neurodegenerative processes and diseases like MS due to its dysregulation, yet its role in MS pathophysiology remains unclear.

Soil salinity poses a significant environmental challenge for the growth and development of blueberries. However, the specific mechanisms by which blueberries respond to salt stress are still not fully understood. Here, we employed a comprehensive approach integrating physiological, metabolomic, and transcriptomic analyses to identify key metabolic pathways in blueberries under salt stress.

Self-sufficient biocatalytic cascade for the continuous synthesis of danshensu in flow.

Appl Microbiol Biotechnol

January 2025

Department of Chemistry, Biochemistry and Pharmaceutical Sciences, University of Bern, Freiestrasse 3, 3012, Bern, Switzerland.

A new strategy has been developed to successfully produce the active component danshensu ex vivo. For this purpose, phenylalanine dehydrogenase from Bacillus sphaericus was combined with the novel hydroxyphenylpyruvate reductase from Mentha x piperita, thereby providing an in situ cofactor regeneration throughout the conversion process. The purified enzymes were co-immobilized and subsequently employed in batch biotransformation, resulting in 60% conversion of 10 mM L-dopa within 24 h, with a catalytic amount of NAD as cofactor.
