Abstract
Maternal asthma status, prenatal exposures, and infant gut microbiota perturbation are associated with heightened risk of atopy and asthma risk in childhood, observations hypothetically linked by intergenerational microbial transmission. Using maternal vaginal (n = 184) and paired infant stool (n = 172) samples, we identify four compositionally and functionally distinct Lactobacillus-dominated vaginal microbiota clusters (VCs) that relate to prenatal maternal health and exposures and infant serum immunoglobulin E (IgE) status at 1 year. Variance in bacteria shared between mother and infant pairs relate to VCs, maternal allergy/asthma status, and infant IgE levels. Heritable bacterial gene pathways associated with infant IgE include fatty acid synthesis and histamine and tryptophan degradation. In vitro, vertically transmitted Lactobacillus jensenii strains induce immunosuppressive phenotypes on human antigen-presenting cells. Murine supplementation with L. jensenii reduces lung eosinophils, neutrophilic expansion, and the proportion of interleukin-4 (IL-4)+ CD4+ T cells. Thus, bacterial and atopy heritability are intimately linked, suggesting a microbial component of intergenerational disease transmission.

Abstract
Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are intracellularly synthesized by bacteria as carbonosomes that exhibit biodegradable thermoplastics and elastomeric properties. The use of cheaper edible oils as a source of carbon assists in the reduction of the production cost of such biopolyesters. In this work, different edible oils, such as groundnut oil (GNO), mustard oil, sesame oil, and soybean oil (SBO) were used to check their effect on PHA production from Pseudomonas aeruginosa EO1 (MK049902). Pseudomonas aeruginosa EO1 was used in a two-stage production system. In the first stage, bacterial growth was favored and, in the second, PHA was synthesized. GNO was found as the best carbon source for PHA production. The use of 2% (v/v) GNO, rich in saturated fatty acids, allowed PHA content of 58.41% and dry cell weight (DCW) of 10.5g/L at pH7 and temperature 35°C for 72h. Groundnut has a high potential for oil production and for the diversification of co-products with some potential of value aggregation. Such a perennial and sustainable species will almost certainly meet the criteria for becoming a significant commercial oilseed crop. Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR) spectra showed strong characteristic bands at 1,282, 1,725, 2,935, 2,999, and 3,137cm−1 for the PHA polymer. Gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS) detects the presence of PHA copolymers.

Biosynthesis of Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) by the Valorization of Biomass and Synthetic Waste. Molecules 2020; 25:molecules25235539. [PMID: 33255864 PMCID: PMC7728366 DOI: 10.3390/molecules25235539] [Citation(s) in RCA: 11] [Impact Index Per Article: 2.8] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 09/20/2020] [Revised: 11/10/2020] [Accepted: 11/12/2020] [Indexed: 12/20/2022] Open
Abstract
Synthetic pollutants are a looming threat to the entire ecosystem, including wildlife, the environment, and human health. Polyhydroxyalkanoates (PHAs) are natural biodegradable microbial polymers with a promising potential to replace synthetic plastics. This research is focused on devising a sustainable approach to produce PHAs by a new microbial strain using untreated synthetic plastics and lignocellulosic biomass. For experiments, 47 soil samples and 18 effluent samples were collected from various areas of Punjab, Pakistan. The samples were primarily screened for PHA detection on agar medium containing Nile blue A stain. The PHA positive bacterial isolates showed prominent orange-yellow fluorescence on irradiation with UV light. They were further screened for PHA estimation by submerged fermentation in the culture broth. Bacterial isolate 16a produced maximum PHA and was identified by 16S rRNA sequencing. It was identified as Stenotrophomonas maltophilia HA-16 (MN240936), reported first time for PHA production. Basic fermentation parameters, such as incubation time, temperature, and pH were optimized for PHA production. Wood chips, cardboard cutouts, plastic bottle cutouts, shredded polystyrene cups, and plastic bags were optimized as alternative sustainable carbon sources for the production of PHAs. A vital finding of this study was the yield obtained by using plastic bags, i.e., 68.24 ± 0.27%. The effective use of plastic and lignocellulosic waste in the cultivation medium for the microbial production of PHA by a novel bacterial strain is discussed in the current study.
