Abstract Currently, predictive translation tuning of regulatory elements to the desired output transcription factor (TF)-based biosensors remains a challenge. The gene expression biosensor system must exhibit appropriate intensity, which is controlled by ribosome-binding site (RBS), achieve fine-tuning its dynamic range (i.e. fold change in between presence and absence inducer) adjusting level TF reporter. However, existing TF-based generally suffer from unpredictable range. Here, we...

Diet is a major driver of the structure and function gut microbiota, which influences host physiology. Alcohol abuse can induce liver disease microbiota dysbiosis. Here, we aim to elucidate whether well-known traditional health food Goji berry targets prevent injury induced by acute alcohol intake. The results showed that supplementation for 14 days alleviated as indicated lowering serum aspartate aminotransferase, alanine pro-inflammatory cytokines, well lipopolysaccharide content in...

Gynogenesis is one of unisexual reproduction modes in vertebrates, and produces all-female individuals with identical genetic background. In sexual the roles primordial germ cells on dimorphism gonadal differentiation have been largely studied, two distinct functional models proposed. However, role remains unknown animals, it also unclear whether animals are common animals. To solve these puzzles, we attempt to utilize gynogenetic superiority polyploid Carassius gibelio create a complete...

Butyrate, one of the key aroma compounds in Luzhou-flavor baijiu, is synthesized through two alternative pathways: butyrate kinase (buk) and butyryl-CoA:acetate CoA-transferase (but). A lack knowledge butyrate-producing microorganisms hinder our ability to understand flavor formation mechanism baijiu. Here, temporal dynamics microbial metabolic profiling fermented grains (FG) was explored via PICRUSt based on 16S rRNA gene sequences. We found Bacilli Bacteroidia were major potential...

Double-stranded DNAs are usually present in the form of linear B-form double-helix with base pairs adenine (A) and thymine (T) or cytosine (C) guanine (G), but G-rich DNA can four-stranded G-quadruplex (G4) structures, which plays important roles transcription, replication, translation protection telomeres. In this study, a RNA recognition motif (RRM)-containing protein, BmLARK, was identified demonstrated to bind G4 structures promoters transcription factor BmPOUM2 other three unidentified...

The effectiveness of chemotherapy is often compromised by physiological barriers and an immunosuppressive tumor microenvironment. Cancer-associated fibroblasts (CAFs) significantly contribute to the reconfiguration extracellular matrix (ECM) suppression immune responses, making them crucial targets for therapeutic intervention. Here, a acidic microenvironment-responsive delivery system that utilizes cell-derived microparticles (MPs) as carriers chemotherapeutic agent doxorubicin (DOX)...

Clostridium inhabiting pit mud (PM) is one of the important bacterial populations for synthesizing flavor compounds Chinese strong-flavor baijiu. The long-term cereal fermentation with sorghum as main raw material creates an environment rich in starch, ethanol, and organic acids (mainly lactic acid). However, genetic factors underpinning Clostridium's adaptation to PM remain poorly understood. Here, we performed comparative genomic analysis between 30 mud-associated (PMA) 100 non-pit (NPMA)...

A novel Gram-stain-positive, rod-shaped, obligately anaerobic, non-motile, spore-forming and binary fission encapsulated bacterium, designated strain JN500901T, was isolated from a mud cellar which has been continuously used for the fermentation of Chinese strong-flavour baijiu over 100 years. Growth JN500901Toccurred at pH 4.5-8.0 (optimum, 5.0), 20-40 °C (37 °C), 0-2 % (w/v) NaCl 0-10 (v/v) ethanol. The Biolog assay revealed that JN500901T metabolized d-fructose, l-fucose, isomaltulose...
