Investigating Impacts of Amino Acids on the Structural Stability of Anionic Biomembranes

open access: yesChemSystemsChem, Volume 7, Issue 2, March 2025.
Glycine and lysine interact with the anionic membrane composed of POPC and POPG (1 : 1). Lysine partitions into the membrane and induces structural alterations, while the membrane remains impermeable to it. In contrast, glycine causes no physicochemical damage and permeates through the membrane.

Combined effect of glycerol/levulinic acid‐based bioadditive on enzymatic hydrolysis and plasticization of amorphous and semi‐crystalline poly(lactic acid)

open access: yesJournal of Vinyl and Additive Technology, EarlyView.
This research describes the effect of a novel biobased plasticizer on both amorphous and semi‐crystalline poly(lactic acid) and the enzymatic hydrolysis of the resulting formulation. Abstract Polylactic acid (PLA) is a widely used biopolymer, but its brittleness and limited biodegradability hinder its application as a standalone material.

Coculture of Bifidobacterium bifidum G9‐1 With Butyrate‐Producing Bacteria Promotes Butyrate Production

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT Supplementation with Bifidobacterium bifidum G9‐1 (BBG9‐1) has been established to enhance the production of butyrate, a short‐chain fatty acid (SCFA) known for its beneficial effects in alleviating constipation. We hypothesized that BBG9‐1 alters gut microbiota such that bacteria that produce butyric acid from lactate and acetate become more ...

Lytic Transglycosylase Deficiency Increases Susceptibility to β‐lactam Antibiotics But Reduces Susceptibility to Vancomycin in Escherichia coli

open access: yesMicrobiology and Immunology, EarlyView.
ABSTRACT In Staphylococcus aureus, a gram‐positive pathogen, vancomycin‐resistant strains become susceptible to β‐lactam antibiotics, referred to as the “seesaw effect.” However, in gram‐negative bacteria, the phenomenon is less clear. Here, we analyzed the gene‐knockout effects of eight lytic transglycosylases (slt, mltA, mltB, mltC, mltD, mltE, mltF,

Different parts of the mussel Gigantidas haimaensis holobiont responded differently to deep‐sea sampling stress

open access: yesIntegrative Zoology, EarlyView.
Symbiotic gill and nonsymbiotic mantle of mussel Gigantidas haimaensis responded differently to deep‐sea sampling stress caused by acute environmental changes. Sharply increased transcription factors potentially play key roles in initiating the response of sampled deep‐sea macrobenthos to the sampling stress.
