Abstract
Feeding faba beans to grass carp could crisp its muscle texture to avoid softening, the relationship between texture formation throughout the crisping process and the critical lipids regulating the fish quality has not yet been clarified. Herein, an 60-day nutritional trial and untargeted lipidomic analysis was used to study the changes of lipids in crisp grass carp dorsal muscle. A total of 1036 lipids were remarkably different between ordinary and crisp grass carp. The concentrations of the LPC, LPE, PG, Cer, Hex2Cer, SM, MG and MGMG were positively correlated with hardness and springiness, and the CL, TG, PMe, WE, dMePE and AcCa were negative correlation. High content of lipids involved in storage in ordinary grass carp, such as glycerophospholipids, polyunsaturated and saturated fatty acid content. In contrast, high content of membrane components in crisp grass carp, such as monounsaturated fatty acid, sphingolipid and glycerolipids content, and the distribution of PUFA in lipid molecules was related to lipid biosynthesis. This study might provide some insights into improved knowledge of the association between meat texture and lipid molecules in fish fed with faba bean.

Abstract
Naturally abundant antimicrobial lipids, such as fatty acids and monoglycerides, that disrupt membrane-enveloped viruses are promising mitigants to inhibit African swine fever virus (ASFV). Among mitigant candidates in this class, glycerol monolaurate (GML) has demonstrated particularly high antiviral activity against laboratory-adapted ASFV strains. However, there is an outstanding need to further determine the effects of GML on wild-type ASFV strains, which can have different virulence levels and sensitivities to membrane-disrupting compounds as compared to laboratory-adapted strains. Herein, we investigated the antiviral effects of GML on a highly virulent strain of a wild-type ASFV isolate (Armenia/07) in an in vitro porcine macrophage model. GML treatment caused a concentration-dependent reduction in viral infectivity, and there was a sharp transition between inactive and active GML concentrations. Low GML concentrations had negligible effect on viral infectivity, whereas sufficiently high GML concentrations caused a >99% decrease in viral infectivity. The concentration onset of antiviral activity matched the critical micelle concentration (CMC) value of GML, reinforcing that GML micelles play a critical role in enabling anti-ASFV activity. These findings validate that GML can potently inhibit wild-type ASFV infection of porcine macrophages and support a biophysical explanation to guide antimicrobial lipid performance optimization for pathogen mitigation applications.

Abstract
Membrane-disrupting lactylates are an important class of surfactant molecules that are esterified adducts of fatty acid and lactic acid and possess industrially attractive properties, such as high antimicrobial potency and hydrophilicity. Compared with antimicrobial lipids such as free fatty acids and monoglycerides, the membrane-disruptive properties of lactylates have been scarcely investigated from a biophysical perspective, and addressing this gap is important to build a molecular-level understanding of how lactylates work. Herein, using the quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) and electrochemical impedance spectroscopy (EIS) techniques, we investigated the real-time, membrane-disruptive interactions between sodium lauroyl lactylate (SLL)-a promising lactylate with a 12-carbon-long, saturated hydrocarbon chain-and supported lipid bilayer (SLB) and tethered bilayer lipid membrane (tBLM) platforms. For comparison, hydrolytic products of SLL that may be generated in biological environments, i.e., lauric acid (LA) and lactic acid (LacA), were also tested individually and as a mixture, along with a structurally related surfactant (sodium dodecyl sulfate, SDS). While SLL, LA, and SDS all had equivalent chain properties and critical micelle concentration (CMC) values, our findings reveal that SLL exhibits distinct membrane-disruptive properties that lie in between the rapid, complete solubilizing activity of SDS and the more modest disruptive properties of LA. Interestingly, the hydrolytic products of SLL, i.e., the LA + LacA mixture, induced a greater degree of transient, reversible membrane morphological changes but ultimately less permanent membrane disruption than SLL. These molecular-level insights support that careful tuning of antimicrobial lipid headgroup properties can modulate the spectrum of membrane-disruptive interactions, offering a pathway to design surfactants with tailored biodegradation profiles and reinforcing that SLL has attractive biophysical merits as a membrane-disrupting antimicrobial drug candidate.

Abstract
We report the influence of membrane composition on the multiscale remodeling of multicomponent lipid bilayers initiated by contact with the amphiphilic bacterial quorum sensing signal N-(3-oxo)-dodecanoyl-l-homoserine lactone (3-oxo-C12-AHL) and its anionic headgroup hydrolysis product, 3-oxo-C12-HS. We used fluorescence microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) to characterize membrane reformation that occurs when these amphiphiles are placed in contact with supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) composed of (i) 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) containing varying amounts of cholesterol or (ii) mixtures of DOPC and either 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphoethanolamine (DOPE, a conical zwitterionic lipid) or 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phospho-l-serine (DOPS, a model anionic lipid). In general, we observe these mixed-lipid membranes to undergo remodeling events, including the formation and subsequent collapse of long tubules and the formation of hemispherical caps, upon introduction to biologically relevant concentrations of 3-oxo-C12-AHL and 3-oxo-C12-HS in ways that differ substantially from those observed in single-component DOPC membranes. These differences in bilayer reformation and their associated dynamics can be understood in terms of the influence of membrane composition on the time scales of molecular flip-flop, lipid packing defects, and lipid phase segregation in these materials. The lipid components investigated here are representative of classes of lipids that comprise both naturally occurring cell membranes and many useful synthetic soft materials. These studies thus represent a first step toward understanding the ways in which membrane composition can impact interactions with this important class of bacterial signaling molecules.

Abstract
Single-chain lipid amphiphiles such as fatty acids and monoglycerides along with structurally related surfactants have received significant attention as membrane-disrupting antimicrobials to inhibit bacteria and viruses. Such promise has motivated deeper exploration of how these compounds disrupt phospholipid membranes, and the membrane-mimicking, supported lipid bilayer (SLB) platform has provided a useful model system to evaluate corresponding mechanisms of action and potency levels. Even so, it remains largely unknown how biologically relevant membrane properties, such as sub-100 nm membrane curvature, might affect these membrane-disruptive interactions, especially from a nanoarchitectonics perspective. Herein, using the quartz crystal microbalance-dissipation (QCM-D) technique, we fabricated intact vesicle adlayers composed of different-size vesicles (70 or 120 nm diameter) with varying degrees of membrane curvature on a titanium oxide surface and tracked changes in vesicle adlayer properties upon adding lauric acid (LA), glycerol monolaurate (GML), or sodium dodecyl sulfate (SDS). Above their critical micelle concentration (CMC) values, LA and GML caused QCM-D measurement shifts associated with tubule- and bud-like formation, respectively, and both compounds interacted similarly with small (high curvature) and large (low curvature) vesicles. In marked contrast, SDS exhibited distinct interactions with small and large vesicles. For large vesicles, SDS caused nearly complete membrane solubilization in a CMC-independent manner, whereas SDS was largely ineffective at solubilizing small vesicles at all tested concentrations. We rationalize these experimental observations by taking into account the interplay of the headgroup properties of LA, GML, and SDS and curvature-induced membrane geometry, and our findings demonstrate that membrane curvature nanoarchitectonics can strongly influence the membrane interaction profiles of antimicrobial lipids and surfactants.

Abstract
Many common bacteria use amphiphilic N-acyl-L-homoserine lactones (AHLs) as signaling molecules to coordinate group behaviors at high cell densities. Past studies demonstrate that AHLs can adsorb to and promote the remodeling of lipid membranes in ways that could underpin cell-cell or host-cell interactions. Here, we report that changes in AHL acyl tail group length and oxidation state (e.g., the presence or absence of a 3-oxo group) can lead to differences in the interactions of eight naturally occurring AHLs in solution and in contact with model lipid membranes. Our results reveal that the presence of a 3-oxo group impacts remodeling when AHLs are placed in contact with supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) of the phospholipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC). Whereas AHLs that have 3-oxo groups generally promote the formation of microtubules, AHLs that lack 3-oxo groups generally form hemispherical caps on the surfaces of SLBs. These results are interpreted in terms of the time scales on which AHLs translocate across bilayers to relieve asymmetrical bilayer stress. Quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation measurements also reveal that 3-oxo AHLs associate with DOPC bilayers to a greater extent than their non-3-oxo analogues. In contrast, we observed no monotonic relationship between AHL tail length and bilayer reformation. Finally, we observed that 3-oxo AHLs facilitate greater transport or leakage of molecular cargo across the membranes of DOPC vesicles relative to AHLs without 3-oxo groups, also suggesting increased bilayer disruption and destabilization. These fundamental studies hint at interactions and associated multiscale phenomena that may inform current interpretations of the behaviors of AHLs in biological contexts. These results could also provide guidance useful for the design of new classes of synthetic materials (e.g., sensor elements or drug delivery vehicles) that interact with or respond selectively to communities of bacteria that use 3-oxo AHLs for cell-cell communication.

Abstract
There is enormous interest in utilizing biologically active fatty acids and monoglycerides to treat phospholipid membrane-related medical diseases, especially with the global health importance of membrane-enveloped viruses and bacteria. However, it is difficult to practically deliver lipophilic fatty acids and monoglycerides for therapeutic applications, which has led to the emergence of lipid nanoparticle platforms that support molecular encapsulation and functional presentation. Herein, we introduce various classes of lipid nanoparticle technology and critically examine the latest progress in utilizing lipid nanoparticles to deliver fatty acids and monoglycerides in order to treat medical diseases related to infectious pathogens, cancer, and inflammation. Particular emphasis is placed on understanding how nanoparticle structure is related to biological function in terms of mechanism, potency, selectivity, and targeting. We also discuss translational opportunities and regulatory needs for utilizing lipid nanoparticles to deliver fatty acids and monoglycerides, including unmet clinical opportunities.

Abstract
We report that N-acyl-l-homoserine lactones (AHLs), a class of nonionic amphiphiles that common bacteria use as signals to coordinate group behaviors, can promote large-scale remodeling in model lipid membranes. Characterization of supported lipid bilayers (SLBs) of the phospholipid 1,2-dioleoyl-sn-glycero-3-phosphocholine (DOPC) by fluorescence microscopy and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation (QCM-D) reveals the well-studied AHL signal 3-oxo-C12-AHL and its anionic head group hydrolysis product (3-oxo-C12-HS) to promote the formation of long microtubules that can retract into hemispherical caps on the surface of the bilayer. These transformations are dynamic, reversible, and dependent upon the head group structure. Additional experiments demonstrate that 3-oxo-C12-AHL can promote remodeling to form microtubules in lipid vesicles and promote molecular transport across bilayers. Molecular dynamics (MD) simulations predict differences in thermodynamic barriers to translocation of these amphiphiles across a bilayer that are reflected in both the type and extent of reformation and associated dynamics. Our experimental observations can thus be interpreted in terms of accumulation and relief of asymmetric stresses in the inner and outer leaflets of a bilayer upon intercalation and translocation of these amphiphiles. Finally, experiments on Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a pathogen that uses 3-oxo-C12-AHL for cell-to-cell signaling, demonstrate that 3-oxo-C12-AHL and 3-oxo-C12-HS can promote membrane remodeling at biologically relevant concentrations and in the absence of other biosurfactants, such as rhamnolipids, that are produced at high population densities. Overall, these results have implications for the roles that 3-oxo-C12-AHL and its hydrolysis product may play in not only mediating intraspecies bacterial communication but also processes such as interspecies signaling and bacterial control of host-cell response. Our findings also provide guidance that could prove useful for the design of synthetic self-assembled materials that respond to bacteria in ways that are useful in the context of sensing, drug delivery, and in other fundamental and applied areas.

Abstract
Glycerol monolaurate (GML) is a monoglycerol ester of the fatty lauric acids, which has a wide-spectrum antimicrobial capacity, but fails to inactivate Gram-negative bacteria, especial Salmonella. To enhance the population reduction rate of GML for Salmonella, this reagent was combined with three disinfectants: lactic acid (LA), cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC), and trisodium phosphate (TSP), which can present acid, neutral, and alkaline in solution, respectively. The results showed that the 1% GML and a complex disinfectant (0.5% GML-0.025% LA) could powerfully inactivate Salmonella. Their population reduction rates respectively were able to achieve 99.92% and 98.29% with the vortex treatment, indicating that the vortex treatment could improve GML to destruct the outer membrane of Salmonella. During the simulation test of the soaking and rinse processing of chicken, for a short time (0 h), the effect of 0.5% GML-0.025% LA compound was better and more suitable for instantaneous inactivation than others, while for a long time (4 h), 1% GML exhibited a better bactericidal effect, which indicated it to be more suitable for long-term bacteriostasis. The characterization of color and texture for chicken samples were determined using Colormeter Ci7600, TA.XT Plus and Hyper-spectral Imager, which demonstrated that all samples treated by these complex disinfectants were not significantly different from untreated group. In conclusion, GML is a potential and superior disinfectant for the chicken process.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The ongoing African swine fever virus (ASFv) epidemic has had a major impact on pig production globally and biosecurity efforts to curb ASFv infectivity and transmission are a high priority. It has been recently identified that feed and feed ingredients, along with drinking water, can serve as transmission vehicles and might facilitate transboundary spread of ASFv. Thus, it is important to test the antiviral activity of regulatory compatible, antiviral feed additives that might inhibit ASFv infectivity in feed. One promising group of feed additive candidates includes medium-chain fatty acids (MCFA) and monoglyceride derivatives, which are known to disrupt the lipid membrane surrounding certain enveloped viruses and bacteria. RESULTS The antiviral activities of selected MCFA, namely caprylic, capric, and lauric acids, and a related monoglyceride, glycerol monolaurate (GML), to inhibit ASFv in liquid and feed conditions were investigated and suitable compounds and inclusion rates were identified that might be useful for mitigating ASFv in feed environments. Antiviral assays showed that all tested MCFA and GML inhibit ASFv. GML was more potent than MCFA because it worked at a lower concentration and inhibited ASFv due to direct virucidal activity along with one or more other antiviral mechanisms. Dose-dependent feed experiments further showed that sufficiently high GML doses can significantly reduce ASFv infectivity in feed in a linear manner in periods as short as 30 min, as determined by infectious viral titer measurements. Enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA) experiments revealed that GML treatment also hinders antibody recognition of the membrane-associated ASFv p72 structural protein, which likely relates to protein conformational changes arising from viral membrane disruption. CONCLUSION Together, the findings in this study indicate that MCFA and GML inhibit ASFv in liquid conditions and that GML is also able to reduce ASFv infectivity in feed, which may help to curb disease transmission.

Abstract
Ongoing challenges in the swine industry, such as reduced access to antibiotics and virus outbreaks (e.g., porcine epidemic diarrhea virus, African swine fever virus), have prompted calls for innovative feed additives to support pig production. Medium-chain fatty acids (MCFAs) and monoglycerides have emerged as a potential option due to key molecular features and versatile functions, including inhibitory activity against viral and bacterial pathogens. In this review, we summarize recent studies examining the potential of MCFAs and monoglycerides as feed additives to improve pig gut health and to mitigate feed pathogens. The molecular properties and biological functions of MCFAs and monoglycerides are first introduced along with an overview of intervention needs at different stages of pig production. The latest progress in testing MCFAs and monoglycerides as feed additives in pig diets is then presented, and their effects on a wide range of production issues, such as growth performance, pathogenic infections, and gut health, are covered. The utilization of MCFAs and monoglycerides together with other feed additives such as organic acids and probiotics is also described, along with advances in molecular encapsulation and delivery strategies. Finally, we discuss how MCFAs and monoglycerides demonstrate potential for feed pathogen mitigation to curb disease transmission. Looking forward, we envision that MCFAs and monoglycerides may become an important class of feed additives in pig production for gut health improvement and feed pathogen mitigation.

Abstract
In recent years, certain amphipathic, α-helical peptides have been discovered that inhibit medically important enveloped viruses by disrupting the lipid membrane surrounding individual virus particles. Interestingly, only a small subset of amphipathic, α-helical peptides demonstrate inhibitory activity, and there is broad interest in understanding how the structures of these peptides contribute to functional activity against lipid membranes. To address this question, herein, we employed multiple surface-sensitive measurement techniques along with computational simulations in order to investigate how AH and C5A peptides, two of the most biologically active peptides in this class, interact with model lipid membranes while gaining insight into membrane-induced peptide conformational changes. Circular dichroism spectroscopy experiments revealed that both AH and C5A peptides undergo pronounced coil-to-helix transitions in the presence of lipid membrane environments, and the C5A conformational change was the largest. Time-lapsed fluorescence microscopy measurements were conducted to monitor the interaction of peptides with arrays of tethered, individual lipid vesicles and showed that C5A potently lyses lipid vesicles indiscriminate of vesicle size at peptide concentrations as low as 10 nM whereas AH peptide preferentially lyses lipid vesicles with high membrane curvature and is less potent than C5A. These findings were complemented by electrochemical impedance spectroscopy measurements on a tethered lipid bilayer membrane platform, which indicated that C5A solubilizes lipid membranes in a manner that is distinct from how AH disrupts lipid membranes via pore formation. Computational simulations supported that the distinct membrane-interaction profiles arise from different helical folding patterns, whereby AH monomers predominantly exist as two shorter helices with a hinge in-between and C5A monomers form a single helix. Taken together, our findings demonstrate that membrane-active antiviral peptides can exhibit distinct membrane-interaction profiles that confer different degrees of targeting selectivity, and the corresponding structural insights will be useful for peptide engineering applications.
