Curr Issues Mol Biol 2024; 46:10112-10129. [PMID: 39329955 PMCID: PMC11430055 DOI: 10.3390/cimb46090603] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/19/2024] [Revised: 09/04/2024] [Accepted: 09/06/2024] [Indexed: 09/28/2024] Open
Abstract
p-Coumaric acid (p-CA) is a valuable compound with applications in food additives, cosmetics, and pharmaceuticals. However, traditional production methods are often inefficient and unsustainable. This study focuses on enhancing p-CA production efficiency through the heterologous expression of tyrosine ammonia-lyase (TAL) from Rhodobacter sphaeroides in Pseudomonas putida KT2440. TAL catalyzes the conversion of L-tyrosine into p-CA and ammonia. We engineered P. putida KT2440 to express TAL in a fed-batch fermentation system. Our results demonstrate the following: (i) successful integration of the TAL gene into P. putida KT2440 and (ii) efficient bioconversion of L-tyrosine into p-CA (1381 mg/L) by implementing a pH shift from 7.0 to 8.5 during fed-batch fermentation. This approach highlights the viability of P. putida KT2440 as a host for TAL expression and the successful coupling of fermentation with the pH-shift-mediated bioconversion of L-tyrosine. Our findings underscore the potential of genetically modified P. putida for sustainable p-CA production and encourage further research to optimize bioconversion steps and fermentation conditions.

Phytochemical Composition and Antimicrobial and Antibiofilm Effect of Myrciaria cauliflora Hydroethanolic Extract against Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii. Methods Protoc 2024; 7:60. [PMID: 39195438 DOI: 10.3390/mps7040060] [Citation(s) in RCA: 0] [Impact Index Per Article: 0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Grants] [Track Full Text] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 07/12/2024] [Revised: 07/29/2024] [Accepted: 07/30/2024] [Indexed: 08/29/2024] Open
Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus and Acinetobacter baumannii are opportunistic pathogens, and both are involved in different oral infections. This work aimed to analyze the phytochemical composition of Myrciaria cauliflora hydroethanolic extract and to evaluate its antimicrobial and antibiofilm action against Staphylococcus aureus (ATCC 6538) and Acinetobacter baumannii (ATCC 19606; multi-resistant clinical strains 58004, 50098, 566006, and H557). Myrciaria cauliflora hydroethanolic extract was prepared, and the content of soluble solids, flavonoids, and phenols was quantified. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) was performed later. The minimum inhibitory concentration was determined using the broth microdilution method according to the Clinical and Laboratory Standards Institute, standard M7-A6, and subsequently, its minimum bactericidal concentration was determined. Then, the most effective concentrations were analyzed against biofilms. Statistical analysis was performed using the ANOVA method with Tukey's test. The soluble solids content in the prepared hydroethanolic extract of M. cauliflora was 2.22%. Additionally, the total flavonoid content, measured using the quercetin standard curve, was 0.040 mg/mL. Furthermore, the total phenol content, determined using the gallic acid standard curve, was 0.729 mg/mL. HPLC analysis presented peaks of gallic acid (11.80 m), p-coumaric acid (12.09 m), cinnamic acid derivative (19.02 m), and ellagic acid (29.83 m). The extract demonstrated antimicrobial and antibiofilm action against all tested strains. However, the most effective antibacterial concentration against all the tested bacteria was 5.55 mg/mL. Therefore, these chemical components justify that M. cauliflora hydroethanolic extract is effective in reducing biofilm formation in S. aureus (standard strain) and A. baumannii (standard and clinical strains).

Abstract
The objective of this study was to evaluate the antimicrobial effectiveness of cinnamaldehyde (CIN) and potassium sorbate (P.S.), alone and in combination, against Salmonella Typhimurium and Staphylococcus aureus in vitro and in apple jam. Antimicrobial activity in vitro was investigated by minimum inhibitory concentration (MIC) and minimum bactericidal concentration (MBC), time-kill assay and determination of fractional inhibitory concentration index. CIN MIC and MBC was 312 μg/mL. P.S. MIC and MBC were 2500 and 5000 μg/mL, respectively, against S. Typhimurium; and 10,000 and 20,000 μg/mL, respectively, against S. aureus. The compounds combined exhibited a synergistic effect (FIC < 0.5), inhibiting S. Typhimurium growth after 12 h and S. aureus after 24 h. The effect of CIN and P.S., at sub-inhibitory concentrations, against bacterial strains in apple jam was evaluated during storage. Physicochemical and sensory analyses were also performed. No cultivable S. Typhimurium or S. aureus cells were recovered in apple jam supplemented with CIN + P.S. on the third day of storage. The addition of CIN and P.S. did not affect the physicochemical properties and sensory evaluation showed a score above 7.0. CIN and P.S. association at sub-inhibitory concentrations was effective in controlling foodborne pathogens and improved the shelf life of apple jam.

Abstract
Antimicrobial resistance (AMR) emerges as a severe crisis to public health and requires global action. The occurrence of bacterial pathogens with multi-drug resistance appeals to exploring alternative therapeutic strategies. Antivirulence treatment has been a positive substitute in seeking to circumvent AMR, which aims to target virulence factors directly to combat bacterial infections. Accumulated evidence suggests that plant-derived natural products, which have been utilized to treat infectious diseases for centuries, can be abundant sources for screening potential virulence-arresting drugs (VADs) to develop advanced therapeutics for infectious diseases. This review sums up some virulence factors and their actions in various species of bacteria, as well as recent advances pertaining to plant-derived natural products as VAD candidates. Furthermore, we also discuss natural VAD-related clinical trials and patents, the perspective of VAD-based advanced therapeutics for infectious diseases and critical challenges hampering clinical use of VADs, and genomics-guided identification for VAD therapeutic. These newly discovered natural VADs will be encouraging and optimistic candidates that may sustainably combat AMR.

Abstract
Pseudomonas aeruginosa, a ubiquitous opportunistic and nosocomial biofilm-forming pathogen with complex, interconnected and hierarchical nature of QS systems (Las, Rhl, PQS, and IQS), is posing the biggest challenge to the healthcare sector and have made current chemotherapies incapable. Conventional antibiotics designed to intercept the biochemical or physiological processes precisely of planktonic microorganisms exert extreme selective pressure and develop resistance against them thereby emphasizing the development of alternative therapeutic approaches. Additionally, quorum sensing induced pathogenic microbial biofilms and production of virulence factors have intensified the pathogenicity, drug resistance, recurrence of infections, hospital visits, morbidity, and mortality many-folds. In this regard, QS could be a potential druggable target and the discovery of QS inhibiting agents as an anti-virulent measure could serve as an alternative therapeutic approach to conventional antibiotics. Quorum quenching (QQ) is a preferred strategy to combat microbial infections since it attenuates the pathogenicity of microbes and enhances the microbial biofilm susceptibility to antibiotics, thus qualifying as a suitable target for drug discovery. This review discusses the QS-induced pathogenicity of P. aeruginosa, the hierarchical QS systems, and QS inhibition as a drug discovery approach to complement classical antibiotic strategy.

Abstract
Bacterial strains have developed an ability to resist antibiotics via numerous mechanisms. Recently, researchers conducted several studies to identify natural bioactive compounds, particularly secondary metabolites of medicinal plants, such as terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, as antibacterial agents. These molecules exert several mechanisms of action at different structural, cellular, and molecular levels, which could make them candidates or lead compounds for developing natural antibiotics. Research findings revealed that these bioactive compounds can inhibit the synthesis of DNA and proteins, block oxidative respiration, increase membrane permeability, and decrease membrane integrity. Furthermore, recent investigations showed that some bacterial strains resist these different mechanisms of antibacterial agents. Researchers demonstrated that this resistance to antibiotics is linked to a microbial cell-to-cell communication system called quorum sensing (QS). Consequently, inhibition of QS or quorum quenching is a promising strategy to not only overcome the resistance problems but also to treat infections. In this respect, various bioactive molecules, including terpenoids, flavonoids, and phenolic acids, exhibit numerous anti-QS mechanisms via the inhibition of auto-inducer releases, sequestration of QS-mediated molecules, and deregulation of QS gene expression. However, clinical applications of these molecules have not been fully covered, which limits their use against infectious diseases. Accordingly, the aim of the present work was to discuss the role of the QS system in bacteria and its involvement in virulence and resistance to antibiotics. In addition, the present review summarizes the most recent and relevant literature pertaining to the anti-quorum sensing of secondary metabolites and its relationship to antibacterial activity.

Abstract
Natural carboxylic acids are plant-derived compounds that are known to possess biological activity. The aim of this review was to compare the effect of structural differences of the selected carboxylic acids (benzoic acid (BA), cinnamic acid (CinA), p-coumaric acid (p-CA), caffeic acid (CFA), rosmarinic acid (RA), and chicoric acid (ChA)) on the antioxidant, antimicrobial, and cytotoxic activity. The studied compounds were arranged in a logic sequence of increasing number of hydroxyl groups and conjugated bonds in order to investigate the correlations between the structure and bioactivity. A review of the literature revealed that RA exhibited the highest antioxidant activity and this property decreased in the following order: RA > CFA ~ ChA > p-CA > CinA > BA. In the case of antimicrobial properties, structure-activity relationships were not easy to observe as they depended on the microbial strain and the experimental conditions. The highest antimicrobial activity was found for CFA and CinA, while the lowest for RA. Taking into account anti-cancer properties of studied NCA, it seems that the presence of hydroxyl groups had an influence on intermolecular interactions and the cytotoxic potential of the molecules, whereas the carboxyl group participated in the chelation of endogenous transition metal ions.
