Plantaricin Q7 is a bacteriocin produced by Q7 with food preservation potential. Low yield is one of the bottlenecks of the wide application of plantaricin Q7. Nontargeted metabolomics was performed to reveal the mechanism of plantaricin Q7 biosynthesis. The results showed that the composition and abundance of intracellular metabolites varied significantly at key time points of plantaricin Q7 synthesis. Differential metabolic pathways were purine metabolism; pyrimidine metabolism; alanine, aspartate, and glutamate metabolism; amino acid biosynthesis; aminoacyl-tRNA biosynthesis; and ABC transporters. Differential metabolites were xanthine, deoxyadenosine, uracil, 5-methylcytosine, α-ketoglutarate, γ-aminobutyric acid, glutamate, glutamine, and tryptophan. Based on metabolomics information, the putative metabolic synthesis pathway of plantaricin Q7 was proposed. Glutamine, glutamate, and 5-methylcytosine could be critical metabolites and simulate plantaricin Q7 biosynthesis significantly ( < 0.05). Bacteriocin production was investigated by comparative metabolomics in this report, which could help to achieve higher plantaricin Q7 yield by metabolic regulation.

Polylactic acid (PLA) microplastics (MPs) and lead (Pb) co-contamination, an emerging co-contamination, may profoundly impact plant growth. We aimed to evaluate the effects of PLA-MPs and Pb on buckwheat growth and physiology and to elucidate the underlying molecular mechanisms through an integrated transcriptomic and metabolomic approach. PLA-MPs alone reduced buckwheat biomass by 26.

Background: Radiologically Isolated Syndrome (RIS) characterized by abnormalities on MRI that do not manifest as clinical symptoms of Multiple Sclerosis (MS) but raise suspicion for MS. Considering that RIS often evolves into MS, various diagnostic criteria have been established, and each suggested biomarker warrants thorough consideration and discussion. In this study, metabolomic profiling of body fluids of patients who were being followed up with a pre-diagnosis of RIS or MS and had not yet received any treatment was conducted.

Genus Acacia comprises around 1500 species. They are widely used to treat inflammation as well as bacterial and fungal infections as they are enriched in phytochemicals, especially phenolics. The aim of this study was to evaluate the antibacterial activity of leaves' methanolic extracts of twelve Acacia species growing in Egypt against Vibrio parahaemolyticus, Salmonella enterica, Listeria monocytogens, Klebsiella pnemoniae, Bacillus aquimaris, Bacillus subtilis, and Escherichia coli.

Six novel Bifidobacterium strains H1HS16N, Bin2N, Hma3N, H6bp22N, H1HS10N, and H6bp9N, were isolated from the honey stomach of Apis mellifera. Cells are Gram-positive, non-motile, non-sporulating, facultatively anaerobic, and fructose 6-phosphate phosphoketolase-positive. Optimal growth conditions occur at 37 °C in anaerobiosis in MRS medium added with 2 % fructose and 0.
