The enzymes mannitol-1-phosphate dehydrogenase, mannitol-1-phosphatase, mannitol dehydrogenase and hexokinase participate in an enzymatic cycle in the fungus Alternaria alternata. One turn of the cycle gives the net result: NADH + NADP+ + ATP leads to NAD+ + NADPH + ADP + Pi. The cycle alone can meet the total need of NADPH formation for fat synthesis in the organism. A polyketide producing strain of A. alternata shows a lower mannitol oxidation as well as a lower fat synthesis than a nonproducing mutant, supporting the hypothesis that polyketide formation is favoured at limiting NADPH production. It is further suggested that the mannitol cycle is regulating the glycolytic flux by substrate withdrawal from phosphofructokinase.

Engineering n-Type and p-Type BiOI Nanosheets: Influence of Mannitol on Semiconductor Behavior and Photocatalytic Activity.
Nanomaterials (Basel)

School of Materials Science and Engineering, Changchun University of Science and Technology, Changchun 130022, China.
Photocatalytic technology holds significant promise for sustainable development and environmental protection due to its ability to utilize renewable energy sources and degrade pollutants efficiently. In this study, BiOI nanosheets (NSs) were synthesized using a simple water bath method with varying amounts of mannitol and reaction temperatures to investigate their structural, morphological, photoelectronic, and photocatalytic properties. Notably, the introduction of mannitol played a critical role in inducing a transition in BiOI from an n-type to a p-type semiconductor, as evidenced by Mott-Schottky (M-S) and band structure analyses.

Article Synopsis
- Cisplatin is a common chemotherapy drug for lung cancer but can cause acute kidney injury (AKI), limiting its use.
- A study of 1372 lung cancer patients showed that the use of reduced glutathione (GSH) significantly lowered the incidence of AKI from 18% to 10.6%.
- GSH was identified as an independent protective factor against AKI, suggesting its potential clinical application to help preserve kidney function during cisplatin treatment.
Association between the Maternal Gut Microbiome and Macrosomia.

Fetal macrosomia is defined as a birthweight ≥4000 g and causes harm to pregnant women and fetuses. Studies reported that the maternal intestinal microbiome plays a key role in the establishment, growth, and development of the fetal intestinal microbiome. However, whether there is a relationship between maternal gut microbiota and macrosomia remains unclear.

Carbon and nitrogen play a fundamental role in the architecture of fungal biofilm morphology and metabolite production. However, the regulatory mechanism of nutrients remains to be fully understood. In this study, the formation of Beauveria bassiana biofilm and the production of (R)-2-(4-Hydroxyphenoxy)propanoic acid in two media with different carbon and nitrogen sources (GY: Glucose as a carbon source and yeast extract as a nitrogen source, MT: Mannitol as a carbon source and tryptone as a nitrogen source) were compared.
