sp. WG produced WL gum with commercial utility potential in many industries. A hybrid sensor histidine kinase/response regulator WelA was identified to regulate the WL gum biosynthesis, and its function was evaluated by gene deletion strategy. The WL gum production and broth viscosity of mutant Δ was only 44% and 0.6% of wild type strain at 72 h. The transcriptomic analysis of differentially expressed genes showed that WelA was mapped to CckA; ChpT, and CtrA in the CckA-ChpT-CtrA pathway was up-regulated. One phosphodiesterase was up-regulated by CtrA, and the intracellular c-di-GMP was decreased. Most genes involved in WL gum biosynthesis pathway was not significantly changed in Δ except the up-regulated and and the down-regulated . Furthermore, the up-regulated regulators , , and may participate in the regulation of flagellar biogenesis and influenced motility. These results suggested that CckA-ChpT-CtrA pathway and c-di-GMP were involved in WL gum biosynthesis regulation. This work provides useful information on the understanding of molecular mechanisms underlying WL gum biosynthesis regulation.

Hydrogels mimic natural environments due to their hydrated, polymeric networks which are beneficial for microorganism growth. The substantial water content maintains a consistently moist environment, and porous structure of hydrogel promotes efficient nutrient transfer and cell distribution, offering advantages over traditional liquid bioreactors. While their application in cell immobilization for bioconversion is well-known, their use as a solid-state fermentation matrix remains unexplored.

Osteoporosis, a condition marked by the loss of bone density and mass, affects individuals of all ages. However, it becomes more prevalent and severe with aging, increasing the risk of fractures and other health complications. Recent research has highlighted a link between osteoporosis and periodontitis, a chronic gum disease, as both conditions involve excessive bone loss that can lead to significant oral health problems if untreated.

Article Synopsis
- Diabetic periodontitis (DP) is a severe gum disease associated with diabetes that is not effectively treated by conventional methods, prompting exploration of the Kouqiangjie Formula (KQJF) as a potential alternative.
- The study investigates KQJF's effects on bone activity and inflammation using animal models and cell cultures, focusing on a specific signaling pathway (miR-29a-3p-Dkk-1/Wnt/β-catenin).
- Findings suggest that KQJF improves bone structure, reduces inflammation, and promotes cell survival in DP conditions by modulating key molecular pathways, indicating its promise as a therapeutic option for diabetes-related oral health issues.
