The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of the algae on the growth, acidifying activity, proportion of lactic acid isomers, and enzymatic profile of (ŁOCK 0944, ŁOCK 0980, ŁOCK 0992, and MG451814) isolated from vegetable silages. The results indicated that adding algae at concentrations of 0.1% (/) and 1.5% (/) to the spp. growth medium accelerated the growth of bacteria and thus shortened their phase of logarithmic growth. The acidifying activity of the tested increased with an increased concentration of algae. spp. cultured in the presence of showed higher production of l-lactic acid and lower d-lactic acid production. Moreover, the addition of algae changed the enzymatic activity of lactic acid bacteria; for instance, ŁOCK 0980 demonstrated more enzymatic activity of valine arylamidase, α-galactosidase, and α-glucosidase. Combining with the algae allows for the creation of innovative, functional products which confer favorable properties to the final product and open new horizons for the food industry.

Effects of aluminum on metabolism of reactive oxygen species and reactive nitrogen species in root tips of different Eucalyptus species.

BMC Plant Biol

January 2025

Guangxi Colleges and Universities Key Laboratory for Cultivation and Utilization of Subtropical Forest Plantation, Guangxi Key Laboratory of Forest Ecology and Conservation, College of Forestry, Guangxi University, Nanning, 530004, China.

On acidified soil, the growth of Eucalyptus is seriously restricted by aluminum (Al) stress. Therefore, breeding Eucalyptus species with excellent Al tolerance, developing the genetic potential of species, and improving tolerance to Al stress are important for the sustainable development of artificial Eucalyptus forests. By observing the occurrence and distribution of the main reactive oxygen species (ROS) and reactive nitrogen species (RNS) in root tips of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress, this study analyzed change in the growth and physiological indexes of Eucalyptus seedlings under Al stress.

Cellular metabolism is inextricably linked to transmembrane levels of proton (H), sodium (Na), and potassium (K) ions. Although reduced sodium-potassium pump (Na-K ATPase) activity in tumors directly disturbs transmembrane Na and K levels, this dysfunction is a result of upregulated aerobic glycolysis generating excessive cytosolic H (and lactate) which are extruded to acidify the interstitial space. These oncogene-directed metabolic changes, affecting intracellular Na and H, can be further exacerbated by upregulation of ion exchangers/transporters.

Tuberculosis Research Program Centenary Institute, The University of Sydney, Camperdown, NSW 2006, Australia; Department of Clinical Immunology, Royal Prince Alfred Hospital, Camperdown, NSW 2050, Australia. Electronic address:

Multi-drug-resistant Mycobacterium tuberculosis is an escalating global health problem, and a strong pipeline of novel compounds is needed to combat rising antimicrobial resistance. Ecumicin is a novel analogue of the natural antimycobacterial cyclic peptide ecumicin, with selective activity against Mycobacterium species. The activity of ecumicin∗ was compared to that of frontline tuberculosis therapies under in vitro conditions representative of niches where M.

Cellular and genetic responses of Phaeodactylum tricornutum to seawater acidification and copper exposure.

December 2024

Shenzhen Key Laboratory of Marine Microbiome Engineering Institute for Advanced Study, Shenzhen University, Shenzhen, China. Electronic address:

The ongoing decline in seawater pH, driven by the absorption of excess atmospheric CO, represents a major environmental issue. This reduction in pH can interact with metal pollution, resulting in complex effects on marine phytoplankton. In this study, we examined the combined impacts of seawater acidification and copper (Cu) exposure on the marine diatom Phaeodactylum tricornutum.

Broilers commonly experience stressors such as coccidiosis, a parasitic infection that results in intestinal damage, malabsorption, and performance losses. The poultry industry is exploring alternatives to anticoccidials for controlling coccidiosis, especially through the enhancement of gut health. Sodium bisulfate (NaHSO; SBS), an acid salt, has been used for many years as a litter acidifier to reduce aerial ammonia in poultry housing.
