Enzymatic Hydrolysate of Red Yeast Rice Accelerates Diabetic Wound Healing in Mice: Association with Modulation of Inflammatory, Matrix-Remodeling, and Angiogenesis-Related Markers

Delayed healing of diabetic wounds arises from a self-sustaining pathological microenvironment featuring persistent inflammation, excessive matrix degradation, impaired angiogenesis, and insufficient collagen deposition, and current single-process interventions remain unsatisfact...

An automated operon refactoring workflow for heterologous expression of non-ribosomal peptide biosynthetic gene clusters

Microbial genomes encode numerous biosynthetic gene clusters, yet most remain experimentally uncharacterized, particularly large non-ribosomal peptide synthetase (NRPS) clusters that resist conventional cloning. Existing refactoring approaches are labor-intensive, depend on de no...

Neooleiphilus portus gen. nov., sp. nov. and Paroleiphilus aggregans gen. nov., sp. nov., Two Novel Nitrate-Reducing Bacteria Isolated from Estuarine Sediments

Two novel bacteria, designated strain G1-8T and J1-3T, were isolated from estuarine sediment samples collected from Jinjiang Estuary, Fujian Province, China, using the dilution-to-extinction method. Cells of strain G1-8T were Gram-stain-negative, aerobic, rod-shaped with a single...
