In this work, the gene of conjugated linoleic acid hydrase (CLA-HY) was cloned from L. plantarum p-8, and the protein of CLA-HY was expressed in Escherichia coli BL21. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry was employed to verify that the purified CLA-HY can convert linoleic acid (LA) into 10-hydroxy-cis-12-octadecenoic acid (10-HOE) in the presence of flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD). The optimal pH and temperature for maximizing CLA-HY catalytic activity were found to be 6.0 and 35°C, respectively. In addition, the catalytic ability of CLA-HY can be inhibited by a number of cations such as Mg2+, Mn2+, Zn2+, Cu2+, Fe2+, Fe3+, Ni2+ and Ca2+. Finally, the Km,Vmax, Kcat and Kcat/Km of CLA-HY were determined as 7.62 mM, 2.59 mM h-1, 8.33 × 103 h-1 and 1.09 × 103 mM-1 h-1, respectively. Moreover, it was demonstrated that both M76 and G74 residues played significant roles in catalysing the conversion of LA into 10-HOE using site-directed mutation technology and molecular simulations.

Background: Hyperlipidemia is a common feature of chronic diseases. The aim of this work was designed to assess the role of probiotics (Lactobacillus casei Zhang, Bifidobactetium animalis subsp. lactis V9, and Lactobacillus plantarum P-8) in the treatment of hyperlipidemia.

Probiotics, recognized as beneficial and active microorganisms, often face challenges in maintaining their functionality under harsh conditions such as exposure to stomach acid and bile salts. In this investigation, we developed probiotic microcapsules and assessed their protective effects and underlying mechanisms in a murine model of dextran sulfate sodium (DSS)-induced colitis using male C57BL/6J mice. The administration of the probiotic microcapsules significantly mitigated body weight loss, prevented colon length shortening, decreased the disease activity index scores, and reduced histopathological scores in mice with DSS-induced colitis.

Weaning is a stressful event in the pig life cycle. We hypothesized that probiotics could be potential alternatives to antibiotics for promoting growth and ameliorating stress in weaning piglets via gut microbiota modulation and, thus, investigated the beneficial effects of dietary probiotic supplementation in weaning pigs. Ninety weaning piglets (Landrace × large white, 45 males and 45 females, 25 days of age) were randomized into three dietary treatments (30 piglets/treatment, divided into five replicates/treatment, i.

Sugarcane bagasse is one of the promising lignocellulosic feedstocks for bio-based chemicals production. However, to date, most research focuses mainly on the cellulose conversion process, while hemicellulose remains largely underutilized. The conversion of glucose and xylose derived from lignocellulosic biomass can be a promising strategy to improve utilization efficiencies of resources, energy, and water, and at the same time reduce wastes generated from the process.
