In this study, we investigated the protective effects of different membrane‐separated ripe Pu‐erh tea on alcohol‐induced liver injury. The result indicated that ripe Pu‐erh tea separated by a 50 nm ceramic membrane (molecular weight < 300 kDa) has the best effect on preventing ALD.

This mini‐review synthesises evidence on the taxonomic patterns of airborne microorganisms and the selective pressures they face. We highlight key conserved physiological traits, such as DNA repair and desiccation tolerance, which enable stress‐tolerant members to survive and suggest their potential for activity within the atmospheric environment ...

Role of Ectoine in Vibrio cholerae Osmoadaptation [PDF]
ABSTRACT Vibrio cholerae is both an intestinal pathogen and a microbe in the estuarine community. To persist in the estuarine environment, V. cholerae must adjust to changes in ionic composition and osmolarity. These changes in the aquatic environment have been correlated with cholera epidemics.

Machine Learning‐based Diagnostic Potential of Bipolar Disorder Using Gut Microbiota Signatures
Bipolar disorder (BD) has been linked to gut microbiota dysbiosis through the microbiota–gut–brain axis. Using 16S rRNA sequencing and machine learning, we found reduced microbial diversity, altered composition and identified 35 microbial biomarkers that enabled highly accurate BD diagnosis (AUC up to 0.95).

Streptomyces commonly produce ectoines as compatible solutes to prevent osmotic stresses. Fine structure of the genes producing ectoine (ectC) and hydroxyectoine (ectD) enzymes in Streptomyces rimosus C-2012 as a slightly halophilic bacterium is reported in this study.

Nitrifiers in the Baltic Sea show persistent abundance in aphotic waters and late‐fall to winter photic zone increases positively correlated with nutrients and negatively with light and chlorophyll. Through selective enrichment, five novel ammonia‐oxidising archaea genomes were recovered, including the dominant aphotic taxon, which revealed overall ...

The Diverse Roles of the Histone‐Like Nucleoid Structuring (H‐NS) Protein in Vibrio parahaemolyticus
The histone‐like nucleoid structuring (H‐NS) protein is a global transcriptional regulator critical for bacterial genome organization and gene expression. In Vibrio parahaemolyticus, H‐NS represses virulence factors such as thermostable direct hemolysin (TDH), type III secretion systems (T3SS1/T3SS2), and type VI secretion systems (T6SS1/T6SS2).

Ectoine in the treatment of ocular allergy
The increase in the number of cases of allergic diseases in various organs caused that they are now regarded as a social diseases. It is often interdisciplinary problem due to the simultaneous occurrence of symptoms in several organs. Allergic conjunctivitis (AC) is becoming more prevalent throughout the world and is one of the most common diseases of ...

Testing an Ectoin Containing Emollient for Atopic Dermatitis
Aim: To describe the methodology in studying patient’s acceptability and efficacy of an ectoin containing emollient for atopic dermatitis (AD). Methods: We described the methodology that we used in studying emollients and moisturisers, and patient acceptability of a group of AD patients before and following usage of an ectoin-containing proprietary ...
