Lactic acid bacteria are very important in winemaking. In this study, 108 lactic acid bacteria isolates were obtained from high-ethanol-content (~17% (/)) Grenache wines during uninoculated malolactic fermentation (MLF). The 16S rRNA and species-specific PCR showed that 104 of these were , three were , and one was . AFLP of III and I digests of the genomic DNA of the strains was developed for the first time to discriminate the strains. The results showed that the method was a suitable technique for discriminating the strains. Based on the cluster analysis, nine strains were chosen for inclusion in an ethanol tolerance assay involving monitoring of optical density (ABS) and viable plating. Several strains (G63, G46, G71, G39) survived and grew well in MRS-AJ with 17% (/) ethanol, while the commercial reference strain did not. Strain G63 could also survive and grow for 168 h after inoculation in MRS-AJ medium with 19% (/) ethanol. These results suggest that G63, G46, G71, and G39 could potentially be used as MLF starters for high-ethanol-content wines. All three strains could survive and grow in MRS-AJ with 19% (/) ethanol, perhaps also indicating their suitability as next-generation MLF starter cultures.

Microbiome and metabolome analysis in smoking and non-smoking pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma patients.

BMC Microbiol

December 2024

Department of Gastroenterology, Qilu Hospital of Shandong University, 107 Wenhuaxi Road, Jinan, Shandong Province, 250012, China.

Background: Smoking is a significant risk factor for pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). This study aimed to investigate the effects of smoking on the pancreatic microbiome and metabolome in resectable and unresectable male PDAC patients.

Methods: The pancreatic tissue samples were collected from resectable PDACs via surgery and unresectable PDACs via endoscopic ultrasound fine needle aspiration (EUS-FNA).

3D printing of continuous cotton thread reinforced poly (lactic acid).

Sci Rep

December 2024

Key Laboratory of Special Engineering Equipment Design and Intelligent Driving Technology, Guilin University of Aerospace Technology, Guilin, 541004, China.

This paper purposed to prepare poly (lactic acid)/continuous cotton thread (PLA /CCT) filaments by using prepreg method, and investigated the properties of PLA/CCT filament and their 3D printed composites. Firstly, a prepreg device was home-made to immerse CCT with PLA melts. The effects of the dragging speed and tensioning equipment on the quality of PLA/CCT filament was investigated.

Background/objectives: Catha edulis, commonly known as khat, is used for its psychoactive effects and is considered a natural amphetamine. The current study investigated the metabolomic profile in the cerebellum of mice after repeated exposure to khat and evaluated the effects of clavulanic acid on the metabolomic profile in the cerebellum in khat-treated mice.

Methods: Male C67BL/6 mice that were 6-9 weeks old were recruited and divided into three groups: the control group was treated with 0.

Background: Using dietary interventions to steer the metabolic output of the gut microbiota towards specific health-promoting metabolites is often challenging due to interpersonal variation in treatment responses.

Methods: In this study, we combined the ex vivo SIFR (Systemic Intestinal Fermentation Research) technology with untargeted metabolite profiling to investigate the impact of carrot-derived rhamnogalacturonan-I (cRG-I) on ex vivo metabolite production by the gut microbiota of 24 human adults.

Results: The findings reveal that at a dose equivalent to 1.
