In the present study, the interactions between chitosan-coated magnetic nanoparticles (C-MNP) and Trichoderma sp. spores as well as Kluyveromyces marxianus cells were studied. By Plackett-Burman design, it was demonstrated that factors which directly influenced on yeast cell immobilization and magnetic separation were inoculum and C-MNP quantity, stirring speed, interaction time, and volume of medium, while in the case of fungal spores, the temperature also was disclosed as an influencing factor. Langmuir and Freundlich models were applied for the mathematical analysis of adsorption isotherms at 30°C. For Trichoderma sp. spore adsorption isotherm, the highest correlation coefficient was observed for lineal function of Langmuir model with a maximum adsorption capacity at 5.00E + 09 spores (C-MNP g). Adsorption isotherm of K. marxianus cells was better adjusted to Freundlich model with a constant (K) estimated as 2.05E + 08 cells (C-MNP g). Both systems may have a novel application in fermentation processes assisted with magnetic separation of biomass.

Global concern about pathogenic resistance to antibiotics is prompting interest in probiotics as a strategy to prevent or inhibit infections. Fermented beverages are promising sources of probiotic yeasts. This study aimed to evaluate the antagonistic effects of , , and strains from kefir and wine against serovar Enteritidis in intestinal epithelial cells.

GCN2 is a conserved receptor kinase activating the integrated stress response (ISR) in eukaryotic cells. The ISR kinases detect accumulation of stress molecules and reprogram translation from basal tasks to preferred production of cytoprotective proteins. GCN2 stands out evolutionarily among all protein kinases due to the presence of a histidyl-tRNA synthetase-like (HRSL) domain, which arises only in GCN2 and is located next to the kinase domain (KD).

Article Synopsis
- There is an increasing global interest in the potential of both Saccharomyces and non-Saccharomyces yeasts, particularly for their health benefits and probiotic properties.
- The study isolated and characterized three yeast strains from pomegranate and fig, showing they are γ-hemolytic, non-cytotoxic, and capable of surviving harsh digestive conditions while also showing good adhesion to gut cells.
- Notably, one strain, Kluyveromyces marxianus GBC2, demonstrated significant cholesterol assimilation, α-amylase inhibition, and antibacterial activity, suggesting these yeasts could be used in developing functional foods and probiotic products.

Melittin is a bioactive peptide and the predominant component in bee venom (BV), studied for its many medical properties, such as antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, anti-arthritis, nerve damage reduction, and muscle cell regeneration. Melittin is primarily obtained through natural extraction and chemical synthesis; however, both methods have limitations and cannot be used for mass production. This study established a heterologous melittin expression system in the probiotic yeast Kluyveromyces marxianus.
