An aerobic, Gram-stain-negative, non-flagellated, long rod or rod-shaped bacterial strain, 5GH22-11(T), was isolated from a soil sample of a greenhouse in Gongju, Republic of Korea. According to 16S rRNA gene sequence analysis, strain 5GH22-11(T) showed the highest sequence similarities with Niastella populi THYL-44(T) (97.1%), Niastella koreensis GR20-10T (95.7%) and Niastella yeongjuensis GR20-13(T) (95.6%), and < 3% sequence similarity with all other species with validly published names. The phylogenetic tree also showed strain 5GH22-11(T) formed a compact cluster with members of the genus Niastella. DNA-DNA hybridization revealed strain 5GH22-11(T) is a novel species, showing far less than 70% DNA-DNA relatedness with Niastella populi THYL-44(T). Strain 5GH22-11(T) contained iso-C15 : 0 (34.3%), iso-C17 : 0 3-OH (24.8%) and iso-C15 : 1 G (18.2%) as the major fatty acids; phosphatidylethanolamine, six unknown aminolipids, two unknown lipids and one unknown phospholipid as the polar lipids; and MK-7 as the predominant isoprenoid quinone. The DNA G+C content was 41.4 mol%. Based on these phylogenetic, physiological and chemotaxonomic data, it was demonstrated that strain 5GH22-11(T) represents a novel species of the genus Niastella, for which the name Niastella gongjuensis sp. nov. is proposed. The type strain is 5GH22-11(T) ( = KACC 17339(T) [corrected] = JCM 19941(T)).

Real-time monitoring of hemodynamics is crucial for diagnosing disorders within implanted vascular grafts and facilitating timely treatment. Integrating vascular grafts with advanced flexible electronics offers a promising approach to developing smart vascular grafts (SVGs) capable of continuous hemodynamic monitoring. However, most existing SVG devices encounter significant challenges in practical applications, particularly regarding biomechanical compatibility and the effective evaluation of vascular status.

Electropolymerized polypyrrole (PPy) is considered as one of the promising polymers for use in ionic-electroactive or conducting polymer (CP) actuators. Its electromechanical properties surpass those of other prominent CPs such as poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT/PSS) or polyaniline. However, freestanding and linear contracting actuator fibers made solely of electropolymerized PPy are not available yet.

In this work, we present a facile and straightforward approach for fabricating highly stretchable photodetectors based on AgS and TiCT MXene hybrid materials. These devices exhibit exceptional mechanical resilience, maintaining stable electrical and optical performance even after 10 000 cycles of 30% strain. The incorporation of MXene not only enhances the device's electrical durability but also ensures the retention of conductivity under significant mechanical deformation, positioning MXene as a critical material for the advancement of flexible electronics.

Background: Candida albicans is the primary cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis, a worldwide health concern for women. The use of supplemental methods, such as antimicrobial photodynamic therapy (aPDT) and probiotics, was promoted by the ineffectiveness of the existing antifungal drugs.
Methods: This study examines the combined effects of probiotics (Bacillus and Enterococcus isolated from the fermented pickles) and PDT (using red laser (655 nm, 18 J/cm) as a light source and methylene blue dye (30 mg/mL) as a photosensitizer) on the in vitro virulence activity of C.

Glucansucrase Dsr_Wcp3a from a Weissella confusa strain discovered in fermented maize (pozol) was produced in E. coli BL21 resulting in three truncated forms of the native enzyme. An important modification of specificity is observed, as the truncated enzymes synthesize low molecular weight dextran from sucrose, probably due to the absence of domains IV and V, compared to the native enzyme which produces high molecular weight dextran.
