Formulation-dependent sugar regulation enhances biofilm-mediated stability and bioactivity of Bacillus thuringiensis formulations

Fructooligosaccharides Modulate Quorum-Sensing–Mediated Biofilm Formation in Lactiplantibacillus plantarum C8 via Amino Acid and Carbohydrate Metabolic Pathways

Oligosaccharides can support gut health by promoting the growth of beneficial bacteria like Lactobacillus, to help maintain gut balance and boost the immune system of the host. During the intestinal colonization, the forming biofilms can improve its adhesion and protect it from immune attacks and environmental stre...

Regulation of Streptococcus mutans biofilm virulence by dietary sugars: Mechanistic basis of sucralose-mediated suppression.

It is shown that sucralose disrupts both EPS structural components and virulence gene regulatory networks in S. mutans, offering novel mechanistic insights into its antibiofilm efficacy against cariogenic biofilms.

Integrating processes: Impact of upstream conditions on cell wall properties and intracellular protein release from mildly disrupted yeast.

This study demonstrates that cultivation-driven modulations in cell wall characteristics strongly affect mild disruption yields, thereby highlighting the importance of integrating upstream and downstream processes for efficient recovery of intracellular proteins.

Influence of environmental and nutritional conditions on Nakaseomyces glabratus biofilm development in vitro

Functional Groups in Pharmaceutical Contaminants Reshape Sludge Fermentation Pathways: Substrate Selectivity and Microbial Stress Responses

The post-COVID-19 era has led to a dramatic increase in the consumption of respiratory pharmaceuticals, leading to their inevitable accumulation in waste-activated sludge. Although the impact of these contaminants on anaerobic resource recovery has been recognized, the specific contribution of their functional groups...

Degradation Behavior and Mechanism of Agar Polysaccharides Induced by Hydrogen Peroxide: Structure Evolution and Bioactivity of Oligosaccharides

Although H2O2-mediated degradation efficiently yields bioactive oligosaccharides, the underlying mechanisms and structure–activity relationships (SARs) of agar polysaccharides remain elusive. Here, the H2O2 degradation profiles of agar (FA) and agarose (TA) were systematically compared using HRMS/MS and 2D NMR. FA pr...
