An optical BOD biosensor based on intracellular ATP measurements in genetically modified Saccharomyces cerevisiae.
Anal Sci
December 2024
School of Bioscience and Biotechnology, Tokyo University of Technology, 1404-1 Katakura, Hachioji, Tokyo, 192-0982, Japan.
A biosensor for biochemical oxygen demand (BOD) was developed based on intracellular 5'-adenosine triphosphate (ATP) measurements in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. Intracellular ATP was measured using an engineered protein named ATeam, comprising a bacterial FF-ATP synthase ε subunit sandwiched between cyan fluorescent protein and mVenus, a modified yellow fluorescent protein. Because the binding of ATP to ATeam induces changes in the fluorescence spectra owing to Fӧrster resonance energy transfer, S.

Article Synopsis
- * MFGs feature a unique structure with a lipid core and a membrane rich in bioactive components that aid in energy release and support immune health in developing gastrointestinal tracts.
- * Research suggests MFGs can be enhanced to address specific nutritional deficiencies while also having potential therapeutic benefits for neurodevelopment and defense against infections.
Production of α-ketoisovalerate with whey powder by systemic metabolic engineering of Klebsiella oxytoca.
Microb Cell Fact
October 2024
State Key Laboratory of Microbial Technology, Shandong University, NO.72 Binhai Road, Qingdao, 266237, China.
Article Synopsis
- Whey is a by-product of the dairy industry with potential pollutant concerns, but it can be fermented to produce valuable chemicals like α-ketoisovalerate.
- The study used a modified strain of Klebsiella oxytoca (KIV-7) to efficiently produce α-ketoisovalerate by inactivating certain enzymes and overexpressing others, achieving high yields from both lactose and whey powder.
- The findings suggest that K. oxytoca KIV-7, with integrated genes for α-ketoisovalerate production, can be a stable and effective option for generating this chemical and its derivatives.

Department of Food Science, University of Wisconsin-Madison, Madison, Wisconsin, USA.
Article Synopsis
- * An engineered strain of NCIMB 8052 (mgsA+mgR) shows a significant increase (87%) in butanol production compared to a control strain, revealing changes in gene expression related to lactose metabolism and various biosynthetic pathways.
- * The study highlights the potential for microbial engineering to optimize chemical production from food waste, offering a promising avenue for sustainable chemical manufacturing and reducing environmental impact.
Regulation of gene expression in milk secretory pathways during secretory activation in Holstein cows.
J Dairy Sci
December 2024
Division of Animal Sciences, University of Missouri, Columbia, MO 65211. Electronic address:
Increased transcription of genes involved in lactose synthesis is a key feature of secretory activation of the mammary gland. We determined which genes are transcriptionally regulated during the transition from colostrum to milk in cows and whether more frequent milking of one udder half would increase milk yields and alter gene expression. We enrolled 12 Holstein cows immediately after calving, harvested colostrum, then randomly assigned one udder half to 12-h (2X) or 6-h (4X) milking intervals for 48 h after first milking.
