ε-poly-l-lysine (ε-PL), a natural food preservative, has garnered widespread attention. It is mainly produced by , but the production by wild-type strains fails to meet the demands of industrialization. To address this issue, adaptive laboratory evolution (ALE) was successfully employed in this study, subjecting CICC 11022 to environmental stresses such as acidic pH and antibiotics (rifampicin, gentamicin, and streptomycin). As a result of ALE, an evolutionary strain C214 was obtained, exhibiting an increase in ε-PL production and cell growth by 153.23% and 234.51%, respectively, as compared with the original strain. Genomic and metabolic analyses revealed that mutations occurred in genes responsible for transcriptional regulation, transporter, cell envelope, energy metabolism, and secondary metabolite synthesis, as well as the enrichment of metabolites involved in the biosynthesis of ε-PL. These findings hold great significance for elucidating the mechanism underlying ε-PL synthesis.

Plants possess remarkably durable resistance against non-adapted pathogens in nature. However, the molecular mechanisms underlying this resistance remain poorly understood, and it is unclear how the resistance is maintained without coevolution between hosts and the non-adapted pathogens. In this study, we used Phytophthora sojae (Ps), a non-adapted pathogen of N.

Breast cancer is one of the most aggressive types of cancer, and its early diagnosis is crucial for reducing mortality rates and ensuring timely treatment. Computer-aided diagnosis systems provide automated mammography image processing, interpretation, and grading. However, since the currently existing methods suffer from such issues as overfitting, lack of adaptability, and dependence on massive annotated datasets, the present work introduces a hybrid approach to enhance breast cancer classification accuracy.

Mares with endometrosis exhibit histological changes not only in the endometrium but also in the myometrium that suggest possible functional impairment. The molecular background of these changes is not well understood. We hypothesize that the transcriptomic profile of the mare myometrium varies depending on the degree of endometrosis in mares.

Artificial fish nests are common tools in fisheries management, providing spawning grounds to enhance the size and diversity of fish populations. This study aimed to explore the effects of deployment locations on the reproductive efficiency and preferences of fish with adhesive and demersal eggs using artificial nests. Floating artificial nests were deployed in three regions (upstream, midstream, and downstream) of a reservoir in Zhejiang, China, at locations with three topographical types: steep slope (reservoir shore, slopes > 60°), gentle slope (reservoir shore, slopes < 30°), and confluence (middle thread of channel).

Microtiter-plate-based systems are unified platforms of high-throughput experimentation (HTE). These polymeric devices are used worldwide on a daily basis-mainly in the pharmaceutical industry-for parallel syntheses, reaction optimization, various preclinical studies and high-throughput screening methods. Accordingly, laboratory automation today aims to handle these commercially available multiwell plates, making developments focused on their modifications a priority area of modern applied research.
