In vitro photodynamic therapy of Candida albicans, the cause of vulvovaginal candidiasis, is enhanced by Bacillus and Enterococcus probiotics.

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.
Biochemical study and digestion profile of olive oil by LipBK: Revealing the potential applications of a new acid/broad thermal range true lipase.

This study characterized a novel bacterial lipase with high biotechnological potential, focusing on industrial and environmental applications. Bacterial isolates were screened using olive oil as a substrate, and the strain with the highest hydrolytic halo was identified as Burkholderia sp. via 16S rRNA analysis.

Background Context: There are a number of risk factors- from biological, psychological, and social domains- for non-specific chronic low back pain (cLBP). Many cLBP treatments target risk factors on the assumption that the targeted factor is not just associated with cLBP but is also a cause (i.e, a causal risk factor).

Application of herbicide-degrading bacteria is an effective strategy to remove herbicide in soil. However, the ability of bacteria to degrade a herbicide is often severely limited in the presence of other pesticide. In this study, the atrazine-degrading strain Klebsiella varicola FH-1 and acetochlor-degrading strain Bacillus Aryabhatti LY-4 were used as parent strains to construct the recombinant RH-92 strain through protoplast fusion technology.

A major threat to world health is the high death rate from gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, especially in Asia, South America, and Europe. The new approaches are needed because of the complexity and heterogeneity of gastrointestinal (GI) cancer, which has made the development of effective treatments difficult. To investigate the potential of peptide-based therapies that target the P21 Activated Kinase 1 (PAK1) in GI cancer, we are using the DBsORF database to predict peptides from the genomes of two bacterial strains: Lactobacillus plantarum and Pediococcus pentosaceus.
