The use of halophilic bacteria in industrial chemical and food production has received great interest because of the unique properties of these bacteria; however, their safety remains under investigation. Halomonas sp. KM-1 intracellularly stores poly-D-β-hydroxybutyric acid under aerobic conditions and successively secretes D-β-hydroxybutyric acid (D-BHB) under microaerobic conditions. Therefore, we tested the safety of Halomonas sp. KM-1-derived D-BHB and the impurities generated during D-BHB manufacturing at a 100-fold increased concentration in acute tests using mice and daily intake of 16.0 g D-BHB in Japanese adults for 12 weeks. In the mice test, there were no abnormalities in the body weights or health of mice fed the purified D-BHB or its impurities. In the Japanese adult test, blood parameters and body condition showed no medically problematic fluctuations. These findings indicate that Halomonas sp. KM-1 is safe and can be used for commercial production of D-BHB and its derivatives.

Promoters, as core elements in the regulation of gene expression, play a pivotal role in genetic engineering and synthetic biology. The accurate prediction and optimization of promoter strength are essential for advancing these fields. Here, we present the first promoter strength database tailored to , an extremophilic microorganism, and propose a novel promoter design and prediction method based on generative adversarial networks (GANs) and multi-model fusion.

The phenolic antioxidant 2,6-Di-tert-butyl-p-cresol (BHT) has been detected in various environments and is considered a potential threat to aquatic organisms. Algal-bacterial interactions are crucial for maintaining ecosystem balance and elemental cycling, but their response to BHT remains to be investigated. This study analyzed the physiological and biochemical responses of the microalga Isochrysis galbana and the changes of associated bacterial communities under different concentrations of BHT stress.

Background: Medicinal and food homologous plants (MFHPs) which can improve Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) draw significant attention among the public due to their low toxicity and more safety. Polysaccharides, one of the various active components of MFHPs, are recognized as effective modulators of the intestinal flora. By altering the composition of intestinal flora and affecting their metabolic products, polysaccharides can improve T2DM, making them a central focus of anti-diabetic research.
