Background: Lignin peroxidase is closely related to agriculture and food as it improves the quality of feedstuffs, facilitates the degradation of lignin in agricultural wastes, and degrades azo dyes that have similar complex structures to lignin. However, the current status of homologous or heterologous expression of lignin peroxidase is unsatisfactory and needs to be modified with the help of immobilization and directed evolution to maximize its potential. Directed evolution technology is an effective strategy for designing and improving enzyme characteristics, and Bacillus subtilis spore surface display technology is an efficient method for preparing immobilized enzymes.

This research characterized and explored the effect of cumin essential oil nanoemulsion (CEONE) on broiler growth performance, serum biochemistry, hematological parameters, and cecal microbial count. Day-old ( = 96) broilers (Ross 308) were randomly assigned to six treatments with five replicates of three broilers each. The dietary treatments consisted of negative control (only basal diet), positive control (basal diet + 200 µL of enrofloxacin), 25 µL (basal diet + 25 µL of CEONE), 50 µL (basal diet + 50 µL of CEONE), 75 µL (basal diet + 75 µL of CEONE), and 100 µL (basal diet + 100 µL of CEONE).

Turn-On Fluorescence Probe for Cancer-Related -Glutamyltranspeptidase Detection.

Molecules

October 2024

Shanghai Key Laboratory of Plant Molecular Sciences, College of Life Sciences, Shanghai Normal University, Shanghai 200234, China.

The design and development of fluorescent materials for detecting cancer-related enzymes are crucial for cancer diagnosis and treatment. Herein, we present a substituted rhodamine derivative for the chromogenic and fluorogenic detection of the cancer-relevant enzyme -glutamyltranspeptidase (GGT). Initially, the probe is non-chromic and non-emissive due to its spirolactam form, which hinders extensive electronic delocalization over broader pathway.

This study investigates the potential phytochemicals that modulate bovine peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor gamma (PPARγ) and the mitogen-activated protein kinase (MAPK) pathways to enhance milk fat production in dairy animals. Bovine PPARγ, a key member of the nuclear hormone receptor superfamily, plays a vital role in regulating metabolic, cellular differentiation, apoptosis, and anti-inflammatory responses in livestock, while the MAPK pathway is contributory in cellular processes that impact milk fat synthesis. This approach involved an all-inclusive molecular docking analysis of 10,000 polyphenols to identify potential PPARγ ligands.

Deciphering the Potential of Probiotics in Vaccines.

Vaccines (Basel)

June 2024

MOE Joint International Research Laboratory of Animal Health and Food Safety, College of Veterinary Medicine, Nanjing Agricultural University, Nanjing 210095, China.

The demand for vaccines, particularly those prepared from non-conventional sources, is rising due to the emergence of drug resistance around the globe. Probiotic-based vaccines are a wise example of such vaccines which represent new horizons in the field of vaccinology in providing an enhanced and diversified immune response. The justification for incorporating probiotics into vaccines lies in the fact that that they hold the capacity to regulate immune function directly or indirectly by influencing the gastrointestinal microbiota and related pathways.
