Summary: A novel Gram-negative bacterium, designated as Steroidobacter gossypii sp. nov., was isolated from soil samples collected from a cotton field in Xinjiang, China. Phylogenetic analysis showed that this bacterium is closely related to the genus Steroidobacter, but represents a distinct species with significant differences in genotypic properties compared to other members of the genus. The taxonomic position of this new bacterium was confirmed based on its unique genetic characteristics and it was proposed as a novel species within the genus Steroidobacter.

Summary: Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a chronic inflammatory disorder of the small intestine and colon, including ulcerative colitis (UC) and Crohn's disease (CD), which are major factors for the development of colon cancer. Current treatments involve synthetic drugs and monoclonal antibodies with side effects and high relapse rates. Recent studies suggest that curcumin derived from turmeric may be a potential therapeutic agent for IBD, effectively reducing clinical relapse in patients.

Summary: This study utilized machine learning, pharmacophore-based virtual screening, molecular docking, and simulation studies to search for new leads as LasR inhibitors by obstructing the quorum sensing network of Pseudomonas aeruginosa. QSAR models were generated using the support vector machine algorithm, and potential leads were identified through pharmacophore screening and molecular docking. The stability of these leads was further examined through molecular dynamics simulation, and their ADME properties were determined. The compounds identified in this study have the potential to be developed as novel inhibitors for LasR.

Summary: Microbial secondary metabolites, particularly those produced by actinobacteria, are crucial sources of antibiotics for combating drug-resistant pathogens. Coral-associated actinomycetes are considered as potential hotspots for discovering untapped secondary metabolites with bioactive properties. However, our knowledge about the diversity, distribution, and biochemistry of marine actinomycetes in relation to hard corals is limited.

Summary: Dysbiosis of the oral microbiome is linked to oral cancer, and tobacco chewing is a risk factor associated with oral dysbiosis. This study investigated the oral bacterial diversity of Indian oral cancer patients and tobacco chewers, identifying potential biomarkers for the Indian population. The results showed differences in the abundance of certain bacterial genera between the study groups, and functional predictions highlighted gene expression variations related to specific metabolic processes.
