Characterization of Cellulose and Starch Degradation by Extracellular Enzymes in Frankia Strains

Recycling
Annually, a considerable amount of agricultural waste is produced leading to serious environmental pollution if not managed effectively. A wide range of bio-decomposers, including fungi, bacteria, and actinomycetes may break down the complex agro ...

Cystic Fibrosis and Colorectal Cancer Risk: Reprogramming of the Intestinal Epithelial Niche and Cell‐State Plasticity in the CFTR Modulator Era

Cell Proliferation, EarlyView.
In cystic fibrosis disorder, CFTR dysfunction drives multilayered intestinal niche disruption, including dysbiosis, inflammation, hypoxia, metabolic stress and genotoxic injury, promoting cell‐state plasticity and a pre‐neoplastic ecosystem. CFTR modulators and environmental factors may partially reshape these processes, highlighting opportunities for ...

Transmembrane MUC1 assists oral microbial colonization in oral mucosa of potentially malignant disorders and oral squamous carcinoma

European Journal of Oral Sciences, EarlyView.
Abstract Transmembrane mucin 1 (tMUC1) provides oral mucosal barrier against pathogens. The invasion of oncopathogenic microbes can promote cancerous proliferation of cells via inflammatory responses, abnormal cellular signaling, angiogenesis, anti‐adhesion, and tumorigenesis.

A lipid‐sensitive food choice behavior influences aging outcomes from a longevity‐promoting diet

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
C. elegans are exposed to a variety of bacteria in their natural environment and must be able to distinguish between beneficial and detrimental food sources. We show that C. elegans exposed to the bacterium from their natural habitat, Methylobacterium, disrupts lipid homeostasis, causing worms to avoid this bacterial species and choose the laboratory ...

Effects of GLP‐1 agonists on the gut microbiota in type 2 diabetes mellitus: a systematic review

The FEBS Journal, EarlyView.
This systematic review evaluated 17 studies (12 preclinical and five clinical) on GLP‐1 receptor agonists in type 2 diabetes, demonstrating effects on the gut microbiota and metabolic improvement. The studies showed an increase in Bacteroidetes, Lactobacillus, and Akkermansia, and a reduction in Firmicutes.

Can Artificial Intelligence Be Utilised to Develop Point‐of‐Care Endodontic Microbiological Technologies?

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Background Primary or persistent endodontic disease is caused by microbial biofilms that irritate the pulp and periapical tissues. Extensive microbiological analyses of these biofilms and their constituent pathogens have revealed their diversity and complexity.

Exploring the Impact of Ultrasonic Activation on the Antimicrobial Activity of Root Canal Sealers: A Year‐Long Ex Vivo Investigation Into Bacterial Survival

International Endodontic Journal, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Aim This study investigated the long‐term survival of bacteria in root canals obturated using two endodontic sealers—AH Plus Jet (AHP) and BioRoot RCS (BCS)—while also assessing the influence of ultrasonic agitation on their antimicrobial effectiveness.

Isolation and characterization of a thermophilic Streptromyces albidoflavus strain KS5 capable of glyphosate degradation

Frontiers in Microbiology
A thermophilic actinobacterium was isolated from thermal waters in Khenchela, Algeria, and identified as Streptomyces albidoflavus (accession number: OQ727247) based on biochemical characterization and 16S rRNA gene sequencing.
