Summary: Two Gram-stain-positive, aerobic, endospore-forming bacterial strains (JJ-7T and JJ-60T) isolated from the rhizosphere of Zea mays were classified as members of the genus Paenibacillus based on 16S rRNA gene sequence similarity comparisons. Both strains represented novel species (Paenibacillus auburnensis sp. nov. and Paenibacillus pseudetheri sp. nov.) within the genus Paenibacillus. Genomic comparisons and polar lipid profiles supported the taxonomic allocation, and physiological and biochemical characteristics further differentiated the strains from closely related species.

Summary: A novel Gram-stain-negative, aerobic coccus with exopolysaccharide (EPS) production ability was isolated from coastal sediment of Xiaoshi Island, Weihai, China under the selective pressure of ofloxacin and norfloxacin. This marine isolate was proposed to be a new species named Pelagicoccus enzymogenes sp. nov. The EPS produced by the strain NFK12(T) may contribute to its tolerance against the inhibitory effects of ofloxacin and norfloxacin.

Summary: Gene therapy is a revolutionary treatment that requires suitable vectors for protecting and releasing exogenous nucleic acids in target cells. Chitosan, as a non-viral vector, has gained attention due to its good biocompatibility and ability to load large amounts of nucleic acids. This paper summarizes the potential of chitosan and its derivatives as gene delivery vector materials, discusses factors influencing transfection efficiency, performance evaluation, ways to optimize infectious efficiency, and current research development directions. It also provides an outlook on the future prospects of chitosan.

Summary: Liver disease is a major cause of global mortality, and identifying biomarkers for diagnosing its progression is crucial for improving outcomes. Targeted mass spectrometry is a powerful tool for verifying biomarker candidates and clinical applications, particularly for glycoproteins translation. However, the limitation of analyzing only one sample per run has become apparent. In this study, a high-throughput intact N-glycopeptides quantification strategy was developed, allowing the validation of 20 samples per run with an average analysis time of 3 minutes per sample. The strategy was applied in a cohort of 461 serum samples and identified a panel of 10 IgG N-glycopeptides that have strong clinical utility in evaluating the severity of liver disease.

Summary: The study investigates the bioconversion of chitosan into soluble anti-inflammatory chitosan oligosaccharides (CHOS) using an enzyme. The results show that the generated CHOS have anti-inflammatory activity, but the magnitude of the activity depends on the substrate and production process. Different methods of dissolving chitosan also affect the properties of CHOS. The study highlights the importance of quality assurance in CHOS preparations.
