Mixed strain dynamics are still not well or easily monitored although recently molecular identification methods have improved our knowledge. This study used a chromogenic differential plating medium that allows the discrimination of four of the main selected biofuel strains that are currently under development for ethanol production from cellulosic hydrolysates. Complete fermentation of hexoses and xylose was obtained with a yeast consortium composed of Spathaspora passalidarum, Scheffersomyces stipitis, Candida akabanensis and Saccharomyces cerevisiae. The results showed that C.akabanensis excessively dominated consortium balance. Reducing its inoculum from 33 to 4.8% improved population strain balance and fermentation efficiency. Comparison of the consortia with single strain fermentations showed that it optimize sugar consumption and ethanol yields. This simple and cheap method also has advantages compared with molecular methods, as the yeast strains do not need to be genetically marked and identified cell proportions are probably active in the fermentation system as compared to DNA determination methods.

Background: Continuous fermentation offers advantages in improving production efficiency and reducing costs, making it highly competitive for industrial ethanol production. A key requirement for Saccharomyces cerevisiae strains used in this process is their tolerance to high ethanol concentrations, which enables them to adapt to continuous fermentation conditions. To explore how yeast cells respond to varying levels of ethanol stress during fermentation, a two-month continuous fermentation was conducted.

Dengue is a mosquito-borne disease caused by dengue virus (DENV) infection, which remains a major public health concern worldwide owing to the lack of specific treatments or antiviral drugs available. This study investigated the potential repurposing of domperidone, an antiemetic and gastrokinetic agent, to control DENV infection. Domperidone was identified by pharmacophore-based virtual screening as a small molecule that can bind to both the viral envelope (E) and the nonstructural protein 1 (NS1) of DENV.

This study evaluated the in vitro antioxidant activity and bioactive compound content of mixed-strain lactic acid bacteria-fermented black mulberry juice (FBMJ) and its protective effects against oxidative stress using physicochemical experiments and a cellular oxidative stress model. We also performed preliminary analyses of polysaccharide structures in FBMJ and identified the dynamic changes in the phenolic profiles of FBMJ during the fermentation process. The results indicated that FBMJ polyphenols can improve cell vitality and prevent HO-induced oxidative stress by reducing intracellular reactive oxygen species concentrations and regulating mitochondrial membrane potential.

As smart electronic devices proliferate rapidly, concerns about electromagnetic radiation have become more prominent. Traditional electromagnetic shielding materials typically use three-dimensional porous foams, carbon structures, and film materials as their substrates. However, as electronic devices become more miniaturized, integrated, and precise, the large volume and limited functionality of foam materials have constrained their applications.
