AI Article Synopsis
- The study investigates four species of luminous bacteria and identifies nutrient medium components that influence their growth, luminescence intensity, and luciferase production.
- Key components include nucleic acids, amino acids, and vitamins derived from the hydrolysates of various microorganisms.
- The presence of these promoting agents significantly enhances the physiological state and ultrastructure of the bacteria, increasing luciferase synthesis by two to three times compared to control conditions.
Article Abstract
The examination of four species of luminous bacteria Photobacterium leiognathi, Photobacterium phosphoreum, Vibrio fischeri and Vibrio harveyi has enabled us to reveal some nutrient medium components effecting growth, luminescence intensity and luciferase synthesis. These agents are nucleic components (nucleotides, nucleotides and amine bases), amino acids and vitamins, which are part of hydrolysates from the biomass of various lithotrophic microorganisms, hydrogen-oxidizing, iron-oxidizing and carboxydobacteria. The effect of promoting agents essentially alters the physiological state and ultrastructure of the cells of luminous bacteria and increases luciferase biosynthesis two- to three-fold compared to a control.

Volatile organic compounds (VOCs) are significant pollutants found in various environments, posing health risks. Traditionally, the gaseous VOCs are adsorbed and eluted in liquid phases, and then subjected to toxicity testing, which deviates from the actual exposure scenarios of gaseous VOCs. How the physical states of VOCs (gaseous or liquid) affect their toxicity has not been well understood.

Microplastics (MPs) have been detected in various aquatic environments and negatively affect organisms, including marine luminous bacteria. This study investigated the differences in bioluminescence patterns, cell viability, and biofilm formation of strains (LB01 and LB09) when exposed to various concentrations of ground microplastics (GMPs; 0.25%, 0.

Developing cost-effective and environmentally sustainable active packaging materials remains an important challenge. We have developed rice bran protein (RBP)-based fibers incorporating carboxymethyl cellulose (CMC) and ZrO nanoparticles (ZrO NPs, 0 %-7 %, m/m) using microfluidic spinning. The integration of RBP, CMC, and ZrO NPs formed a robust hydrogen bond network that enhanced the fibers' thermal stability and crystallinity, reduced surface hydrophobicity, and aligned the molecular orientation.

This study is the first one that investigates in detail the bacterial intercellular response to the high density of crystallographic defects including vacancies created in Cu by high pressure torsion. To this aim, samples were deformed by high pressure torsion and afterward, their antibacterial properties against Staphylococcus aureus were analyzed in adhesion tests. As a reference an annealed sample was applied.

Luminous marine bacteria are traditionally used as a bioassay due to the convenience and high rate of registering the intensity of their physiological function - luminescence. This study aimed to develop the application of Photobacterium phosphoreum in traditional and novel fields - toxicity monitoring and biotechnology. We demonstrated (1) effects of selenite ions on bioluminescence, and (2) biotransformation of selenite to selenium(0) in the form of nanoparticles.
