Objective Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is a major cause of global illness and death, most commonly caused by cigarette smoke. The mechanisms pathogenesis remain poorly understood, limiting the development effective therapies. gastrointestinal microbiome has been implicated in chronic lung diseases via gut-lung axis, but its role unclear. Design Using an vivo mouse model smoke (CS)-induced COPD faecal microbial transfer (FMT), we characterised microbiota using metagenomics,...
The aim of the present study was to examine antioxidative activity (+)-lariciresinol (LRSL), an optically active lignan isolated from Rubia philippinensis in several vitro assays. LRSL also subjected evaluate its inhibitory effect against generation reactive oxygen species (ROS) murine macrophage (RAW 264.7) cells. results showed that possessed very strong radical scavenging and reducing power, as well inhibited ROS a dose-dependent manner without showing any cytotoxicity. transcriptional...
Abstract In this study, the authors investigated anti-melanogenic effects of 3,8-dihydroxyquinoline (jineol) isolated from Scolopendra subspinipes mutilans , mechanisms responsible for its inhibition melanogenesis in melan-a cells, and antioxidant efficacy. Mushroom tyrosinase activities melanin contents were determined protein mRNA levels MITF, tyrosinase, TYRP-1, TYRP-2 assessed. Jineol exhibited significant, concentration-dependent as by DPPH, ABTS, CUPRAC, FRAP assays. significantly...
Abstract We examined the anti-inflammatory effects of (+)-syringaresinol (SGRS), a lignan isolated from Rubia philippinensis , in lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated RAW 264.7 cells using enzyme-based immuno assay, Western blotting, and RT-PCR analyses. Additionally, vivo SGRS acute inflammatory state were by carrageenan-induced hind paw edema assay experimental mice. As result, treatment with (25, 50, 100 μM) inhibited protein expression lipopolysaccharide-stimulated inducible nitric oxide...

<p class="Abstract">Lactic acid bacteria exhibit the most effective potential to divert significant amount of fermentable sugars towards biosynthesis functional exopolysaccharide. Exopolysaccharides from lactic are receiving a renewed interest due claims human health benefits. This review provides an update on multiple uses and production exopolysaccharides with major emphasis their chemical properties, characterization, some other molecular strategies adopted for genetics biological...
<p>Lactic acid bacteria are classified ‘Generally Recognized As Safe’ (GRAS) with most effective potential to divert significant amount of fermentable sugars towards the biosynthesis functional exopolysaccharide. Exopolysaccharides from lactic receiving a renewed interest due claims human health benefits, such as modulation immune response system and more importantly in food pharma industries texturizer, viscosifer, emulsifier syneresis-lowering agent. Its purification methodology...
This study characterized a lactic acid bacterium Leuconostoc mesenteroides HJ69 at biochemical and molecular level, isolate from traditional Korean fermented food Kimchi. Cell free supernatant (CFS) of L. exhibited significant (P < 0.05) antibacterial effect as diameters inhibition zones (14.34 ± 0.31 – 18.21 0.23 mm) against the tested foodborne pathogenic bacteria with minimum inhibitory concentration bactericidal values found in range 250–2,000 500–2,000 μg/mL, respectively. Further, CFS...
Bactroceratryoni (Froggatt) (Queensland fruit fly, or "Qfly") is a highly polyphagous tephritid fly and serious economic pest in Australia. Qfly biology intimately linked to the bacteria fungi of its microbiome. While there are numerous studies microbiome larvae adults, transition through pupal stage remains unknown. To address this knowledge gap, we used high-throughput Next-Generation Sequencing (NGS) examine microbial communities at each developmental life cycle, targeting bacterial 16S...
Abstract Dengue virus, particularly serotype 2 (DENV-2), poses a significant global health threat, and understanding the molecular basis of its interactions with host cell proteins is imperative for developing targeted therapeutic strategies. This study elucidated between proline-enriched motifs Src homology 3 (SH3) domain. The SH3 domain pivotal in mediating protein–protein interactions, by recognizing binding to proline-rich regions partner proteins. Through computational pipeline, we...

Abstract Insects typically host substantial microbial communities (the ‘microbiome’) that can serve as a vital source of nutrients and also acts modulator immune function. While recent studies have shown diet is an important influence on the gut microbiome, very little known about dynamics underpinning acquisition from natural food sources. Here, we addressed this gap by comparing microbiome larvae polyphagous fruit fly Bactrocera tryoni (‘Queensland fly’) were collected five different types...
There are still a large variety of microorganisms among aquatic animals which have not been explored for their pharmacological potential. Hence, present study was aimed to isolate and characterize potent lactic acid bacterium from fresh water fish sample Zacco koreanus, confirm its Isolation bacteria (LAB) samples done using serial dilution method. Biochemical identification molecular characterization selected LAB 1I1, based on antimicrobial efficacy, accomplished API kit 16S rRNA gene...
The transition from nature to laboratory or mass rearing can impose significant physiological and evolutionary impact on insects. Queensland fruit fly (also known as 'Qfly'), Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is a serious economic pest that presents major challenges for horticulture industries in Australia. sterile insect technique (SIT) being developed manage outbreaks regions remain free of Qfly suppress populations where this species endemic. biology intimately...
Larval diets used for artificial rearing can have a significant effect on insect biology. The Queensland fruit fly (aka 'Qfly'), Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt) (Diptera: Tephritidae), is one of the greatest challenges growers in Australia. sterile technique (SIT) being developed to manage outbreaks regions that remain free Qfly and reduce populations where this species endemic. Factory scale essential SIT; however, larval are known affect microbiome Qfly, which may then performance. In study,...
The present study was conducted to evaluate the methanolic extract of Piper betle leaves (MPBL) and its organic fractions with regard antitumor activity against Ehrlich ascites carcinoma (EAC) in Swiss albino mice confirm their antioxidant activities.

Abstract Bactrocera tryoni (Froggatt), the Queensland fruit fly (Qfly), is a highly polyphagous tephritid that widespread in Eastern Australia. Qfly physiology closely linked with its fungal associates, particular relationship between nutrition and yeast or yeast-like fungi. Despite animal-associated fungi typically occurring multi-species communities, studies have predominately involved culture characterisation of single isolates. Further, only two investigated communities associated Qfly,...
