Antibacterial activity and mechanism of a novel bacteriocin produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus

Zhiqiang Xu et al.

Summary: The purpose of this study was to investigate the antibacterial effect and mechanism of a novel bacteriocin produced by Lactiplantibacillus plantarum against Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus. The bacteriocin exhibited strong antibacterial activity, pH stability, thermostability, and enzyme treatment stability against both bacteria. It disrupted the cell structures of the bacteria by damaging cell walls and membranes, and inhibited DNA replication and protein formation, leading to the inhibition of bacterial growth. The use of L. plantarum bacteriocin may be a promising biocontrol strategy to simultaneously inhibit the contamination of E. coli and S. aureus in foods.

Coaggregative interactions between rhizobacteria are promoted by exopolysaccharides from Sinorhizobium meliloti

Natalia Nocelli et al.

Summary: Bacterial surface components and extracellular compounds, such as exopolysaccharides (EPSs), play a crucial role in interactions between cells and host colonization. In this study, we focused on the role of two EPSs produced by Sinorhizobium meliloti in aggregative interactions between cells of the same strain and genetically different strains. It was found that EPS II production was associated with increased coaggregation, and the addition of EPS II promoted coaggregation. EPS II is therefore an important factor in physiological events like aggregative interactions and biofilm development, with potential ecological, biotechnological, and agricultural implications.

Vertical and horizontal gene transfer tradeoffs direct plasmid fitness

Jonathan H. Bethke et al.

Summary: Plasmid fitness is determined by vertical and horizontal transfer processes. While improvements in either mode of transfer can enhance plasmid spread and persistence, the metabolic cost of conjugation could limit plasmid evolution. Through the study of 40 plasmids from clinical E. coli pathogens, we uncover a conjugation-growth tradeoff and its consequences and molecular basis. Most plasmids operate below a threshold of conjugation efficiency for significant growth effects, indicating strong selection for vertical transfer. E. coli demonstrates remarkable growth tolerance to changes in conjugation efficiency below this threshold, which diminishes as nutrients become scarce and horizontal transfer consumes a greater share of host resources. Our findings provide insights into evolutionary constraints on plasmid fitness and strategies to combat antibiotic resistance spread.

Review of the microbiome in skin aging and the effect of a topical prebiotic containing thermal spring water

Heather Woolery-Lloyd et al.

Summary: This review explores the relationship between the skin microbiome and facial skin aging, and the effects of oral and topical use of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics on skin aging and cosmetic outcomes. The study suggests that a diverse skin microbiome is essential for skin health, and preliminary evidence indicates that oral probiotics and prebiotics may reduce signs of skin aging by increasing microbiome diversity. Additionally, the application of topically applied probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics may improve skin aging signs such as fine lines and hydration. Larger studies are needed to further understand the role of the microbiome in skin aging and the potential benefits of probiotics, prebiotics, and postbiotics use.

Isolation, characterization and anti-UVB irradiation activity of an extracellular polysaccharide produced by Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHPriobi O17

Shudong Peng et al.

Summary: This study aimed to evaluate the anti-UVB viability of exopolysaccharides (EPS) isolated from lactic acid bacteria (LAB). A LAB strain, Lacticaseibacillus rhamnosus VHPriobi O17, with high EPS production was selected. The purified EPS (OP-2) was identified as a novel Man-like polysaccharide with potential anti-UVB effects. It effectively alleviated cell apoptosis and reactive oxygen species production induced by UVB, inhibited the release of pro-inflammatory cytokines, and suppressed the phosphorylation cascade to prevent cell apoptosis. These findings suggest that EPS produced by L. rhamnosus VHPriobi O17 may be useful for human protection against UVB irradiation.

Summary: Bacteriocins are peptides produced by bacteria that inhibit the growth of similar strains. Class II bacteriocins, which are heat-resistant and not extensively modified, are widely distributed in lactic acid bacteria. They have potential applications in food preservation and antibiotic alternatives. Their production is controlled by gene clusters and influenced by fermentation factors. Genetic engineering is used to improve production.
