The metabolic activity of growing bacteria was directly monitored by using an electro-optical (EO) sensor. The sensor enables examination of bacteria in batch and continuous cultures. As examples, we report studies with Еscherichia coli, a bacterium with an aerobic type of metabolism, and Lactobacillus plantarum, a bacterium with an anaerobic type of metabolism. Bacterial growth was accompanied by a simultaneous change in both the hydrodynamic mean size (HMS) of the bacteria and the concentration of ions in the cytoplasm (CIC). Both variables were associated with the regulation of cellular metabolic activity, which can be cyclic during intense bacterial growth. A simultaneous change in metabolic activity and osmotic regulation was also found. For СIC and HMS measurements, we used online results of the EO analysis of cells suspended in water. The measured results for the CIC and HMS can be used to directly monitor bacterial metabolism. The results of this study are of practical importance for the real-time EO monitoring of the metabolic activity of growing bacteria without preliminary sample preparation.

Response mechanism of ethanol-tolerant Saccharomyces cerevisiae strain ES-42 to increased ethanol during continuous ethanol fermentation.

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.

Background: Peste des petits ruminants virus (PPRV) is currently the only member of the Morbillivirus caprinae species within the genus Morbillivirus of the family Paramyoxviridae. PPRV causes a highly contagious disease in small ruminants, especially goats and sheep. Succinylation is a newly identified and conserved modification and plays an important role in host cell response to pathogen infection.

Background: The Japanese eel (Anguilla japonica) holds significant economic value in East Asia, but limitations in understanding its reproductive biology have hindered advancements in artificial breeding techniques. Previous research has primarily focused on conserved sex differentiation genes, offering limited insights into the broader molecular mechanisms driving gonadal development and sexual dimorphism. To address these limitations, this study aims to investigate key genes and pathways involved in gonadal development through a comprehensive transcriptomic analysis of male and female eel gonads.

Background: Neuregulin (NRG) family is involved in energy metabolism, among which NRG1 is a neuregulin proved to play a protective role in MAFLD cells. But the presice echanism has not been fully illustrated. This study aimed to investigate the role of NRG1 via the ERK/SIRT1 signaling in the pathogenesis of MAFLD.

Postpartum depression (PPD) affects ~10-15% of childbearing individuals, with deleterious consequences for two generations. Recent research has explored the biological mechanisms of PPD, particularly neuroactive steroids (NAS). We sought here to investigate associations between NAS levels and ratios during pregnancy and the subsequent development of depressive symptoms with postpartum onset.
