l-Asparaginase is employed in leukaemic treatment and in processing starchy foods. The in silico analysis of DSM 20016 reveals the presence of an l-asparaginase gene with theoretical pI value of 4.99. 3D structure prediction was carried out and one model was selected based on the validation scores of 86.293 for ERRAT, 92.10% for VERIFY 3D and Ramachandran plot. Multiple sequence alignment of the protein sequences of l-asparaginases I and II of , and shows their sequence similarity. The ORF LREU_RS09880 from DSM 20016 genome was cloned and expressed in . The recombinant protein was purified to homogeneity using Ni-NTA chromatography and showed higher substrate specificity for l-asparagine. Kinetic parameters like and of recombinant l-asparaginase were calculated as 0.3332 mM, 14.06 mM/min, respectively. Temperature and pH profile of recombinant l-asparaginase were analysed and maximum activity was found between 30 and 40 °C and at pH 6. The recombinant enzyme was thermally stable up to 24 h at 28 °C. Recombinant l-asparaginase has a recovery percentage of 92 and 10.5 fold purification. HPLC-MS-MS and SDS-PAGE analysis of the purified protein indicated a molecular weight of 35 kDa as a monomer.

Article Synopsis
- Next-generation sequencing (NGS) has advanced gut microbiome research but has limitations like semi-quantitative results and high detection thresholds; therefore, this study focused on comparing quantitative PCR (qPCR) and droplet digital PCR (ddPCR) for accurately quantifying Limosilactobacillus reuteri strains in human stool samples.
- ddPCR showed slightly better reproducibility for strain-specific assays, but qPCR proved to be almost as reproducible, with similar sensitivity and a wider dynamic range, making it cheaper and faster for quantifying bacterial strains.
- The study provides an optimized qPCR protocol for designing strain-specific assays, ultimately demonstrating that qPCR outperforms NGS methods in accuracy and sensitivity for quantifying L.

The objective of this study was to identify bioactive oligosaccharides and peptides in the cooking water of chickpeas and common beans, known as aquafaba. The oligosaccharides stachyose, raffinose and verbascose were quantified by high-performance anion-exchange chromatography; 78 and 67 additional oligosaccharides were identified in chickpea and common bean aquafaba, respectively, by LC-MS/MS. Chickpea aquafaba uniquely harbored ciceritol and other methyl-inositol-containing oligosaccharides.

The interplay between bacteria and their host influences the homeostasis of the human immune microenvironment, and this reciprocal interaction also affects the process of tissue damage repair. A variety of immunomodulatory commensal bacteria reside in the body, capable of delivering membrane vesicles (MVs) to host cells to regulate the local immune microenvironment. This research revealed, for the initial time, the significant enhancement of mucosal and cutaneous wound healing by MVs secreted by the human commensal Lactobacillus reuteri (RMVs) through modulation of the inflammatory environment in wound tissue.

In our previous research, we demonstrated that honey and its biomimetic natural deep eutectic solvent (NaDES) modulate the antioxidant activity (AOA) of the raspberry extract (RE). In this study, we evaluated the AOA behaviour of the mixture honey/NaDES-honeysuckle ( LFL) extract and compared it with the mixture honey/NaDES-RE. These two extracts have similar major flavonoids and hydroxycinnamic acid compounds but differ in their total content and the presence of anthocyanins in RE.

The lactic acid bacterium Limosilactobacillus reuteri (formerly Lactobacillus reuteri) is a desirable host for the production of 1,3-propanediol (1,3-PDO) from glycerol when 1,3-PDO is used in the food or cosmetic industry. However, the production is hindered by strain instability, causing cell lysis, and difficult gene manipulation. This study reveals that the stability of L.
