Summary: Yeast surface display (YSD) is a whole-cell platform for the heterologous expression of proteins immobilized on the yeast's cell surface. Recent strategies aim to improve the efficiency and selection of displayed proteins. YSD is considered as a cutting-edge technology for vectorial expression of proteins and peptides.

Summary: This study presents a facile and reversible method to immobilize a wide range of His(6)-tagged proteins on the E. coli cell surface through Fe(iii)-metal complexes. Successfully, an eGFP and four enzymes with His(6)-tag were immobilized on the cell surface. Moreover, a hydrogel sheath around E. coli cells was generated by immobilizing the His(6)-tagged HRP.

Summary: Pre-treatment of Streptomyces sp. SH5 on zebrafish significantly enhanced larvae resistance against Aeromonas hydrophila, by inhibiting pathogen colonization, increasing microbial diversity, and strengthening immune response. However, it also decreased the expression of inflammatory stimulus genes.

Summary: Aquaculture, an important food production sector, is facing the challenge of disease occurrences. Marine microorganisms have the potential to provide alternative solutions to antibiotics for treating bacterial diseases in aquaculture. Furthermore, these microorganisms can also act as feed supplements to improve the overall health of aquaculture species and water quality. This review summarizes the studies on marine microorganisms and their potential as agents for tackling bacterial diseases in aquaculture.

Summary: The outermost layer of bacterial cells, called the S-layer, is composed of self-assembling protein subunits called S-layer proteins (Slps). These proteins play important roles in various processes and may affect the properties of bacteria. Research on Levilactobacillus brevis, a lactic acid bacterium, shows that Slps play a significant role in its probiotic and biotechnological features.

Summary: This study examined governance and management strategies for aquaculture development, focusing on the incorporation of Ecological Carrying Capacity (ECC) concepts in management tools and permitting requirements. Policies, regulations, and strategic plans were analyzed, and it was found that ECC was not strictly applied in any jurisdiction. However, the concept of aquaculture carrying capacity (CC) was found in the policy documentation of several nations, suggesting its potential use as a part of sustainable aquaculture management tools.

Summary: Microbial cell surface display technology is a powerful platform for engineering proteins/peptides with improved properties. Saccharomyces cerevisiae is an ideal cell factory for this technology due to its large cell size, Generally Regarded As Safe (GRAS) status, and post-translational processing capabilities. This technology has various applications in industrial processes, including biofuels and chemical production, environmental pollution treatment, and immunization processes.

Summary: This study aimed to investigate the effects of selective probiotics on the growth, hematology, microbes, and morphology of stinging catfish in a biofloc system, as well as evaluate the benefit-cost ratio (BCR) of specific probiotics used in the system. The results showed that fish reared with laboratory-developed probiotics had significantly higher growth rate, feed efficiency, improved intestinal microbiota, enhanced morphology, and increased immune responses. The BCR was also highest for the laboratory-developed probiotics. Therefore, laboratory-developed probiotics can be considered as environmentally friendly and economically viable growth stimulators for stinging catfish culture in a biofloc system.
