Article Abstract
We report a 19-month-old patient with cardiomyopathy as the first presenting feature of primary COQ10 deficiency-6. This case expands the phenotypic spectrum of this disorder. Furthermore, it shows that genetic testing for primary COQ10 deficiency should be considered in patients with pediatric-onset cardiomyopathy as it can guide treatment options.

Two novel bacterial strains, 273M-4 and Sam97, were isolated from seawater in the Yellow Sea, Muan-gun, South Korea, and identified as members of the genus Thalassotalea. Both strains were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped, non-motile, non-flagellated, and oxidase- and catalase-positive. Phylogenetic analysis based on 16S rRNA gene sequences showed that strains 273M-4 and Sam97 were most closely related to Thalassotalea ponticola KCTC 42155, with sequence similarities of 97.

Article Synopsis
- Primary ovarian insufficiency (POI) is a major cause of female infertility, with rising incidence rates, prompting research into associated metabolites through Mendelian randomization (MR) methods.
- The analysis identified 27 metabolites from a pool of 278 potentially linked to POI, highlighting significant ones like dodecanedioate and indolepropionate, and carried out various sensitivity analyses to strengthen findings.
- The study combines genetic data and metabolomic profiles, revealing six crucial metabolic pathways that could help illuminate the biological mechanisms underpinning POI.
Impact of Coenzyme Q on Mitochondrial Metabolism: A Complementary Study Using Fluorescence Lifetime Imaging and Electron Microscopy.

Center for Biomedical Research, Ulm University, 89081 Ulm, Germany.
Background: Coenzyme Q (CoQ), also known as ubiquinone-10, is an important molecule of the mitochondrial respiratory chain that acts as an electron carrier between complexes I, II, and III and additionally functions as an antioxidant. Due to its bioenergetic properties, CoQ is of high interest for therapeutic and cosmetic use. This study aims to characterize the metabolic impact of CoQ on primary human dermal fibroblasts (HDF) using fluorescence lifetime imaging microscopy (FLIM) and electron microscopy.

Background And Objectives: Disorders of coenzyme Q (CoQ) biosynthesis comprise a group of 11 clinically and genetically heterogeneous rare primary mitochondrial diseases. We sought to delineate clinical, biochemical, and neuroimaging features of these disorders, together with outcomes after oral CoQ supplementation and the utility of peripheral blood mononuclear cell (PBMNC) CoQ levels in monitoring therapy.
Methods: This was a retrospective cohort study, registered as an audit at a specialist pediatric hospital (Registration Number: 3318) of 14 patients with genetically confirmed CoQ biosynthesis deficiency, including 13 previously unreported cases.
Contribution of Protonation to the Dielectric Relaxation Arising from Bacteriopheophytin Reductions in the Photosynthetic Reaction Centers of .

The pH dependence of the free energy level of the flash-induced primary charge pair PI was determined by a combination of the results from the indirect charge recombination of PQ and from the delayed fluorescence of the excited dimer (P*) in the reaction center of the photosynthetic bacterium , where the native ubiquinone at the primary quinone binding site Q was replaced by low-potential anthraquinone (AQ) derivatives. The following observations were made: (1) The free energy state of PI was pH independent below pH 10 (-370 ± 10 meV relative to that of the excited dimer P*) and showed a remarkable decrease (about 20 meV/pH unit) above pH 10. A part of the dielectric relaxation of the PI charge pair that is not insignificant (about 120 meV) should come from protonation-related changes.
