Allosteric Probe-Based Colorimetric Assay for Direct Identification and Sensitive Analysis of Methicillin Resistance of < em > Staphylococcus aureus < /em >
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 28;34(3):681-688. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2312.12042. Epub 2024 Feb 19.ABSTRACTThe accurate and rapid detection of methicillin-resistance of Staphylococcus aureus (SA) holds significant clinical importance. However, the methicillin-resistance detection strategies commonly require complicated cell lysis and gene extraction. Herein, we devised a novel colorimetric approach for the sensitive and accurate identification of methicillin-resistance of SA by combining allosteric probe-based target recognition with self-primer elongation-based target recycling. The PBP2a aptamer in the allosteric probe suc...

Optimization of Culture medium for the Production of an Exopolysaccharide (p-CY02) with Cryoprotective Activity by < em > Pseudoalteromonas < /em > sp. RosPo-2 from the Antarctic Sea
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Mar 19;33(5):1-10. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2402.02037. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTWhen cells are exposed to freezing temperatures, high concentrations of cryoprotective agents (CPA) prevent ice crystal formation, thus enhancing cell survival. However, high concentrations of CPAs can also cause cell toxicity. Exopolysaccharides from polar marine environments exhibit lower toxicity and display effects similar to traditional CPA. To address these issues, this study focused on selecting strains that produce EPS with novel cryoprotective activity and optimizing culture conditions for EPS production. Six...

Prognostic Value of an Immune Long NonCoding RNA Signature in Liver Hepatocellular Carcinoma
J Microbiol Biotechnol. 2024 Jan 30;34(4):1-11. doi: 10.4014/jmb.2308.08022. Online ahead of print.ABSTRACTIn recent years, there has been a growing recognition of the important role that long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) play in the immunological process of hepatocellular carcinoma (LIHC). An increasing number of studies have shown that certain lncRNAs hold great potential as viable options for diagnosis and treatment in clinical practice. The primary objective of our investigation was to devise an immune lncRNA profile to explore the significance of immune-associated lncRNAs in the accurate diagnosis and prognosis of LIHC. ...
