Abstract
-
In recent years, kidney cancer has become one of the most serious medical issues.
Kidney cancer is treated with a variety of active compounds that trigger genes that cause cancer. We identified in our earlier research that isoquercitrin (IQ) can activate PIK3CA, IGF1R, and PTGS2. However, it has a very low bioavailability because of its lower solubility in water. So, we utilized sub-merge fermentation technology with two well-known probiotics, Lactobacillus acidophilus and Bacillus subtilis, as a microbial source and mulberry fruit extract as a substrate, which has a high IQ level to improve IQ yield. Furthermore, we compared the total phenolic, flavonoid, and antioxidant contents of fermented and non-fermented samples, and we found that the fermented samples had greater levels than non-fermented sample. In addition, the high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) results showed that the fermented mulberry fruit extract from B. subtilis and L. acidophilus showed higher IQ values (190.73 ± 0.004 μg/ml and 220.54 ± 0.007 μg/ml, respectively), compared to the non-fermented samples, which had IQ values (80.12 ± 0.002 μg/ml). Additionally, at 62.5 µg/ml doses of each sample, a normal kidney cell line (HEK 293) showed higher cell viability for fermented and non-fermented samples. Conversely, at the same doses, the fermented samples of L. acidophilus and B. subtilis in a kidney cancer cell line (A498) showed an inhibition of cell growth around 36% and 31%, respectively. Finally, we performed RT and qRT PCR assay, and we found a significant reduction in the expression of the PTGS2, PIK3CA, and IGF1R genes. We therefore can conclude that the fermented samples have a higher concentration of isoquercitrin, and also can inhibit the expression of the genes PTGS2, PIK3CA, and IGF1R, which in turn regulates kidney cancer and inflammation.

Abstract
-
Poly-γ-glutamic acid (γ-PGA) is a promising biopolymer for various applications.
In this study, we isolated a novel γ-PGA-producing strain, Bacillus halotolerans F29. The one-factor-at-a-time method was used to investigate the influence of carbon sources, nitrogen sources, and culture parameters on γ-PGA production. The optimal carbon and nitrogen sources were sucrose and (NH4)2SO4, respectively. The optimal culture conditions for γ-PGA production were determined to be 37 °C and a pH of 5.5. Response surface methodology was used to determine the optimum medium components: 77.6 g/L sucrose, 43.0 g/L monosodium glutamate, and 2.2 g/L K2HPO4. The γ-PGA titer increased significantly from 8.5 ± 0.3 g/L to 20.7 ± 0.7 g/L when strain F29 was cultivated in the optimized medium. Furthermore, the γ-PGA titer reached 50.9 ± 1.5 g/L with a productivity of 1.33 g/L/h and a yield of 2.23 g of γ-PGA/g of L-glutamic acid with the optimized medium in fed-batch fermentation. The maximum γ-PGA titer reached 45.3 ± 1.1 g/L, with a productivity of 1.06 g/L/h when molasses was used as a carbon source. It should be noted that the γ-PGA yield in this study was the highest of all reported studies, indicating great potential for the industrial production of γ-PGA.

Abstract
-
Alcaligenes faecalis is one of the most important and clinically significant environmental pathogens, increasing in importance due to its isolation from soil and nosocomial environments. The Gram-negative soil bacterium is associated with skin endocarditis, bacteremia, dysentery, meningitis, endophthalmitis, urinary tract infections, and pneumonia in patients. With emerging antibiotic resistance in A. faecalis, it has become crucial to understand the origin of such resistance genes within this clinically significant environmental and gut bacterium. In this research, we studied the impact of antibiotic overuse in poultry and its effect on developing resistance in A. faecalis. We sampled soil and faecal materials from five poultry farms, performed whole genome sequencing & analysis and identified four strains of A. faecalis. Furthermore, we characterized the genes in the genomic islands of A. faecalis isolates. We found four multidrug-resistant A. faecalis strains that showed resistance against vancomycin (MIC >1000 μg/ml), ceftazidime (50 μg/ml), colistin (50 μg/ml) and ciprofloxacin (50 μg/ml). From whole genome comparative analysis, we found more than 180 resistance genes compared to the reference sequence. Parts of our assembled contigs were found to be similar to different bacteria which included pbp1A and pbp2 imparting resistance to amoxicillin originally a part of Helicobacter and Bordetella pertussis. We also found the Mycobacterial insertion element IS6110 in the genomic islands of all four genomes. This prominent insertion element can be transferred and induce resistance to other bacterial genomes. The results thus are crucial in understanding the transfer of resistance genes in the environment and can help in developing regimes for antibiotic use in the food and poultry industry.

Abstract
-
Since the advent of SARS-CoV-2 in Dec. 2019, the global endeavor
to identify the pathogenic mechanism of COVID-19
has been ongoing. Although humoral immunity including
neutralizing activity play an important role in protection from
the viral pathogen, dysregulated antibody responses may be
associated with the pathogenic progression of COVID-19,
especially in high-risk individuals. In addition, SARS-CoV-2
spike-specific antibodies acquired by prior infection or vaccination
act as immune pressure, driving continuous population
turnover by selecting for antibody-escaping mutations.
Here, we review accumulating knowledge on the potential
role of humoral immune responses in COVID-19, primarily
focusing on their beneficial and pathogenic properties. Understanding
the multifaceted regulatory mechanisms of humoral
responses during SARS-CoV-2 infection can help us to develop
more effective therapeutics, as well as protective measures
against the ongoing pandemic.

Abstract
-
Listeria monocytogenes (L. monocytogenes) is a Gram-positive
intracellular foodborne pathogen that causes severe diseases,
such as meningitis and sepsis. The NLR family pyrin
domain-containing 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome has been reported
to participate in host defense against pathogen infection.
However, the exact molecular mechanisms underlying
NLRP3 inflammasome activation remain to be fully elucidated.
In the present study, the roles of mammalian Ste20-
like kinases 1/2 (Mst1/2) and Anaplastic Lymphoma Kinase
(ALK) in the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome induced
by L. monocytogenes infection were investigated. The
expression levels of Mst1/2, phospho (p)-ALK, p-JNK, Nek7,
and NLRP3 downstream molecules including activated caspase-
1 (p20) and mature interleukin (IL)-1β (p17), were upregulated
in L. monocytogenes-infected macrophages. The
ALK inhibitor significantly decreased the expression of p-JNK,
Nek7, and NLRP3 downstream molecules in macrophages infected
with L. monocytogenes. Furthermore, the Mst1/2 inhibitor
markedly inhibited the L. monocytogenes-induced activation
of ALK, subsequently downregulating the expression
of p-JNK, Nek7, and NLRP3 downstream molecules. Therefore,
our study demonstrated that Mst1/2-ALK mediated
the activation of the NLRP3 inflammasome by promoting
the interaction between Nek7 and NLRP3 via JNK during
L. monocytogenes infection, which subsequently increased the
maturation and release of proinflammatory cytokine to resist
pathogen infection. Moreover, Listeriolysin O played a
key role in the process. In addition, we also found that the L.
monocytogenes-induced apoptosis of J774A.1 cells was reduced
by the Mst1/2 or ALK inhibitor. The present study reported,
for the first time, that the Mst1/2-ALK-JNK-NLRP3 signaling
pathway plays a vital proinflammatory role during L. monocytogenes
infection.

Abstract
-
Aspergillus sojae is a koji (starter) mold that has been applied
for food fermentation in Asia. The whole genome of A. sojae
SMF 134, which was isolated from meju (Korean soybean
fermented brick), was analyzed at the genomic level to evaluate
its potential as a starter for soybean fermentation. The
genome size was 40.1 Mbp, which was expected to be composed
of eight chromosomes with 13,748 ORFs. Strain SMF
134 had a total of 151 protease genes, among which two more
leucine aminopeptidase (lap) genes were found in addition to
the previously known lap1, and three γ-glutamyltranspeptidase
(ggt) genes were newly identified. Such genomic characteristics
of SMF 134 with many protease and flavor-related
(lap and ggt) genes support its merits as a starter for soybean
fermentation. In addition, this first complete genome of
A. sojae will allow for further genetic studies to better understand
the production of various enzymes, including proteases,
LAPs, and GGTs, as well as other characteristics as a starter
mold for soybean fermentation.

Abstract
-
It has been demonstrated that certain lactic acid bacteria (LAB) can sequester metal ions by binding them to their surfaces. In the present study, lead (Pb)-resistant LAB were isolated from kimchi, a Korean fermented food. A total of 96 different LAB strains were isolated, and 52 strains showed lead resistance. Among them, an LAB strain-96 (L-96) iden-tified as Leuconostoc mesenteroides showed remarkable Pb resistance and removal capacity. The maximum adsorption capacity of this strain calculated using the Langmuir isotherm was 60.6 mg Pb/g. In an in vivo experiment, young male mice were provided with water (A), Pb-water (B), or Pb-water+ L-96 (C) during puberty. Lower glutamate oxaloacetate trans-aminase (GOT) and glutamate pyruvate transaminase (GPT) levels in Pb-exposed male mice that received strain L-96 as a probiotic were suggestive of reduced hepatotoxicity. More-over, feces from mice treated with L-96 contained more Pb than feces from untreated mice. Increased Pb elimination likely reduced internal accumulation, and this hypothesis was supported by significantly lower Pb concentrations in kid-neys and testes of the mice treated with strain L-96. The mo-tility and ATP content of epididymal spermatozoa were par-tially restored if strain L-96 was administered. In conclusion, isolated L-96 LAB had lead-biosorption activity and effi-ciently detoxified lead-poisoned male mice, resulting in re-covering male reproductive function. These results suggest the potential use of LAB as a probiotic to protect humans from the adverse effects of Pb exposure.

Abstract
-
The metabolism of Bacillus thuringiensis during its sporulation process was investigated under different concentrations of oxygen. At the beginning of sporulation, the aeration conditions were regulated to obtain different oxygen transfer rates (OTR) in four separate fermentations, representing interrupted, limited, non-limited, and saturated oxygenation, respectively. A higher OTR resulted in a higher pH, up to about 9 in the case of saturated oxygenation, while the interrupted oxygenation resulted in a significantly acidic culture. In contrast, the absence of oxygen resulted in rapid sporangia lysis and caused acidification of the medium, indicating a distinctly different sporangia composition and different metabolism. The bacterium also showed different CO2 production rates during sporulation, although amaximum point was observed in every case.With a higher OTR, the maximal value was observed after a longer time and at a lower value (40, 26, and 13 mmol/L/h for limited, non-limited, and saturated cases, respectively). Despite the exhaustion of glucose prior to the sporulation phase, the interrupted oxygenation resulted in acetate, lactate, and citrate in the medium with a maximum concentration of 4.8, 1.3, and 5.0 g/L, respectively. Notwithstanding, while the metabolic events differed visibly in the absence of oxygen, once sporulation was triggered, it was completed, even in the case of an interrupted oxygen supply.

Abstract
-
Two different substrates, sunflower (Helianthus annuus L.) tubers and lettuce (Lactuca sativa) roots, were tested. Using a mixture of both wastes resulted in higher production of endoinulinase than either waste alone. Also, ten fungal spe-cies grown on these substrates as inexpensive, carbon sour-ces were screened for the best production of endoinulinase activities. Of these, Aspergillus niger AUMC 9375 was the most productive, when grown on the mixture using a 6:1 w/w ratio of sun flower: lettuce, and yielded the highest levels of inulinase at 50% moisture, 30°C, pH 5.0, with seven days of incubation, and with yeast extract as the best nitrogen source. Inulinase was purified to homogeneity by ion-exchange chro-matography and gel-filtration giving a 51.11 fold purification. The mixture of sunflower tubers and lettuce roots has poten-tial to be an effective and economical substrate for inulinase production. Inulinase was successfully immobilized with an immobilization yield of 71.28%. After incubation for 2 h at 60°C, the free enzyme activity decreased markedly to 10%, whereas that of the immobilized form decreased only to 87%. A reusability test demonstrated the durability of the immo-bilized inulinase for 10 cycles and in addition, that it could be stored for 32 days at 4°C. These results indicate that this inulinase, in the immobilized form, is a potential candidate for large-scale production of high purity fructose syrups.

Abstract
-
Different solid state fermentation (SSF) sources were tested such as cantaloupe and watermelon rinds, orange and banana peels, for the production of polygalacturonase (PG) and xylanase (Xyl) by Trichoderma harzianum and Trichoderma virens. The maximum production of both PG and Xyl were obtained by T. harzianum and T. virnes grown on cantaloupe and watermelon rinds, respectively. Time course, moisture content, temperature, pH, supplementation with carbon and nitrogen sources were optimized to achieve the maximum production of both PG and Xyl of T. harzianum and T. virens using cantaloupe and watermelon rinds, respectively. The maximum production of PG and Xyl of T. harzianum and T. virens was recorded at 4–5 days of incubation, 50–66% moisture, temperature 28–35°C and pH 6–7. The influence of supplementary carbon and nitrogen sources was studied. For T. harzianum, lactose enhanced PG activity from 87 to 120 units/g solid, where starch and maltose enhanced Xyl activity from 40 to 55–60 units/g solid for T. virnes. Among the nitrogen sources, ammonium sulphate, ammonium nitrate, yeast extract and urea increased PG activity from 90 to 110–113 units/g solid for T. harzianum. Similarly, ammonium chloride, ammonium sulphate and yeast extract increased Xyl activity from 45 to 55–70 units/g solid for T. virens.

Abstract
-
As a promising alternative biofuel, biobutanol can be produced through acetone/butanol/ethanol (ABE) fermentation. Currently, ABE fermentation is still a small-scale industry due to its low production and high input cost. Moreover,
butanol toxicity to the Clostridium fermentation host limits the accumulation of butanol in the fermentation broth. The wild-type Clostridium acetobutylicum D64 can only produce about 13 g butanol/L and tolerates less than 2% (v/v) butanol. To improve the tolerance of C. acetobutylicum D64 for enhancing the production of butanol, nitrogen ion beam implantation was employed and finally five mutants with enhanced butanol tolerance were obtained. Among these, the most butanol tolerant mutant C. acetobutylicum NT642 can tolerate above 3% (v/v) butanol while the wide-type strain
can only withstand 2% (v/v). In batch fermentation, the production of butanol and ABE yield of C. acetobutylicum NT642 was 15.4 g/L and 22.3 g/L, respectively, which were both higher than those of its parental strain and the other mutants using corn or cassava as substrate. Enhancing butanol tolerance is a great precondition for obtaining a hyperyield producer. Nitrogen ion beam implantation could be a
promising biotechnology to improve butanol tolerance and production of the host strain C. acetobutylicum.

Abstract
-
The MuS1 gene is highly homologous to many stress-related proteins in plants. Here, we characterized whether a new candidate gene, MuS1, is related to multiple stress tolerance in yeast as it is in plants. Transgenic yeast strain expressing MuS1 were more resistant to hydrogen peroxide, menadione, high salinity, metals (i.e., cadmium, copper, iron, and zinc), ethanol, and lactic acid than wild-type strain transformed with a vector alone. In addition, the alcohol yield of the transgenic yeast strain was higher than that of the wild-type strain during the batch fermentation process. These results show that MuS1-expressing transgenic yeast strain exhibits enhanced alcohol yield as well as tolerance to abiotic stresses, especially metal stress.

Abstract
-
L-Methioninase was purified to electrophoretic homogeneity from cultures of Aspergillus flavipes using anionexchange and gel filtration chromatography by 12.1 fold compared to the crude enzyme preparation. The purified enzyme had a molecular mass of 47 kDa under denaturing conditions and an isoelectric point
of 5.8 with no structural glycosyl residues. The enzyme had optimum activity at pH 7.8 and pH stability from 6.8-8.0 at 35°C. The enzyme appeared to be catalytically stable below 40°C. The enzyme activity was strongly inhibited by DL-propargylglycine, hydroxylamine, PMSF, 2-mercaptoethanol, Hg2+, Cu2+, and
Fe2+, with slight inhibition by Triton X-100. A. flavipes L-methioninase has a higher catalytic affinity towards L-methionine (Km, 6.5 mM and Kcat, 14.1 S-1) followed by a relative demethiolating activity to L-homocysteine (Km, 12 mM and Kcat, 9.3 S-1). The enzyme has two absorption maxima at 280 and 420 nm, typical of other PLP-enzymes. Apo-L-methioninase has the ability to reconstitute its structural catalytic
state completely upon addition of 0.15 mM PLP. L-Methioninase has neither an appreciable effect on liver function, platelet aggregation, nor hemolysis of human blood. The purified L-methioninase from solid cultures of A. flavipes displayed unique biochemical and catalytic properties over the currently applied Pseudomonad
enzyme.

Abstract
-
Thermophilic fungi produce thermostable enzymes which have a number of applications, mainly in biotechnological processes. In this work, we describe the characterization of a protease produced in solidstate (SSF) and submerged (SmF) fermentations by a newly isolated thermophilic fungus identified as a putative new species in the genus Myceliophthora. Enzyme-production rate was evaluated for both fermentation processes, and in SSF, using a medium composed of a mixture of wheat bran and casein, the proteolytic output was 4.5-fold larger than that obtained in SmF. Additionally, the peak of proteolytic activity was obtained after 3 days for SSF whereas for SmF it was after 4 days. The crude enzyme obtained by both
SSF and SmF displayed similar optimum temperature at 50°C, but the optimum pH shifted from 7 (SmF) to 9 (SSF). The alkaline protease produced through solid-state fermentation (SSF), was immobilized on beads of calcium alginate, allowing comparative analyses of free and immobilized proteases to be carried out. It was
observed that both optimum temperature and thermal stability of the immobilized enzyme were higher than for the free enzyme. Moreover, the immobilized enzyme showed considerable stability for up to 7 reuses.

Abstract
-
Succinic acid is one of the platform compounds and its production via natural feedstocks has drawn worldwide concerns. To evaluate the inhibitory effects of fermentation products on the growth of Actinobacillus succinogenes 130ZT and Escherichia coli NZN111, AFP111, BL21, fermentations with addition of individual products in medium were carried out. The cell growth was inhibited when the concentrations of formate, acetate, lactate, and succinate were at range of 8.8-17.6 g/L, 10-40 g/L, 9-18 g/L, and 10-80 g/L, respectively. For these two species of bacteria, E. coli was more resistant to acid products than A. succinogenes,
while both endured succinate rather than by-products. As a result of end product inhibition, succinate production yield by A. succinogenes decreased from 1.11 to 0.49 g/g glucose. Logistic and Monod mathematical models were presented to simulate the inhibition kinetics. The Logistic model was found more suitable for
describing the overall synergistic inhibitory effects.
