Abstract
While various non-ionic surfactants at low concentrations have been shown to increase the transport of P-gp substrates in vitro, in vivo studies in rats have shown that a higher surfactant concentration is needed to increase the oral absorption of e.g. the P-gp substrates digoxin and etoposide. The aim of the present study was to investigate if intestinal digestion of surfactants could be the reason for this deviation between in vitro and in vivo data. Therefore, Kolliphor EL, Brij-L23, Labrasol and polysorbate 20 were investigated for their ability to inhibit P-gp and increase digoxin absorption in vitro. Transport studies were performed in Caco-2 cells, while P-gp inhibition and cell viability assays were performed in MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Polysorbate 20, Kolliphor EL and Brij-L23 increased absorptive transport and decreased secretory digoxin transport in Caco-2 cells, whereas only polysorbate 20 and Brij-L23 showed P-gp inhibiting properties in the MDCKII-MDR1 cells. Polysorbate 20 and Brij-L23 were chosen for in vitro digestion prior to transport- or P-gp inhibiting assays. Brij-L23 was not digestible, whereas polysorbate 20 reached a degree of digestion around 40%. Neither of the two surfactants showed any significant difference in their ability to affect absorptive or secretory transport of digoxin after pre-digestion. Furthermore, the P-gp inhibiting effects of polysorbate 20 were not decreased significantly. In conclusion, the mechanism behind the non-ionic surfactant mediated in vitro P-gp inhibition seemed independent of the intestinal digestion and the results presented here did not suggest it to be the cause of the observed discrepancy between in vitro and in vivo.

Abstract
The present study evaluated, in laboratory and field, the efficacy and safety of formulations of Pelargonium graveolens (geranium - G), Origanum majorana (oregano - O) commercial essential oils (EO) and thymol (T) to control of Rhipicephalus sanguineus sensu lato. In the laboratory, three formulas (A: 2% tween 80%, B: powder and C: nanoemulsion) by a mixture of these components (GOT) were prepared and evaluated, and the best one was used to assess its safety and field application against R. sanguineus s. l. on naturally infested dogs. Besides the major compounds of the EO used were identified. The results of the lab study showed that formula A (2.5 g of each G + O + T + 2% tween 80 to complete 100 mL) was significantly more effective than the other two formulas tested and exhibited highly effective adulticidal, larvicidal, and ovicidal activity against R. sanguineus s.l. Significant LC50 and LC90 values of GOT were evaluated (13.4 and 21.5 mg/mL, respectively) for the adulticidal activity, (2.81 and 4.46 mg/mL, respectively) for ovicidal activity and (2.44 and 4.45 mg/mL, respectively) for larvicidal activity. The safety of formula A has been proven by the absence of its cytotoxicity on a cell line of human epidermoid carcinoma. Citronella and carvacrol were the major compounds identified in the commercial essential oils of P. graveolens and O. majorana, respectively. Formula A was used in a field control trial for almost 8 months, during the tick infestation season (April to November, 2022). Fourteen naturally infested dogs were divided into two groups, each with seven dogs. One group received formula A spraying five times during an experiment that continued for 8 months, while the other group received treatment with commercially available malathion acaricide. The animals were sprayed on five occasions throughout the experiment (April, June, July, August, and September). The results showed a substantial percentage of effectiveness after the first application of formula A with a 99.3% reduction in tick count at day 28 post-application (PA). In the case of severe infestation 60 days after the first application of formula A (more than 180 ticks per dog), the second application was done, achieving an efficacy of 54.9% at day 3 PA, so an emergency spray was done at day 5 PA to combat the rest of the tick infestation, achieving efficacy of 99% after 3 days. Consequently, a regular spray (third, fourth, and fifth application) was done every 35 days. This regular spray revealed 100% effectiveness at 14 days PA. Biochemical parameters of treated dogs were evaluated to confirm the safety of formula A. Creatinine, ALT, and albumin of the dogs treated with formula A were within the normal range of dogs, while urea and AST were higher than the normal range. In conclusion, formula A can safely treat R. sanguineus s.l. infestations in dogs with regular application every 5 weeks.

Abstract
Phospholipids are versatile formulation compounds with high biocompatibility. However, no data on their effect on skin in combination with UVA radiation exist. Thus, it was the aim of this work to (i) develop o/w nanoemulsions (NEs) differing in surfactant type and to investigate their physicochemical stability at different storage temperatures, (ii) establish a standardized protocol for in vitro phototoxicity testing using primary human skin cells and (iii) investigate the phototoxicity of amphoteric phospholipids (S45, S75, E80, S100, LPC80), sodium lauryl ether sulfate (SLES) and polysorbate 80 (PS80). Satisfying systems were developed with all surfactants except S100 due to low zeta potential (-21.4 mV ± 4.69). SLES and PS80-type NEs showed the highest stability after eight weeks; temperature-dependent variations in storage stability were most noticeable for phospholipid surfactants. For phospholipid-based NEs, higher phosphatidylcholine content led to unstable formulations. Phototoxicity assays with primary skin fibroblasts confirmed the lack of UVA-related phototoxicity but revealed cytotoxic effects of LPC80 and SLES, resulting in cell viability as low as 2.7 % ±0.78 and 1.9 % ±1.57 compared to the control. Our findings suggest that surfactants S45, S75 and PS80 are the most promising candidates for skin-friendly emulsifiers in sensitive applications involving exposure to UV light.

Abstract
The aim of this study was to explore the suitability of Tween-80 or DNase I adsorbed onto the surface of gentamicin-loaded solid lipid nanoparticles (SLNs) to disrupt Staphylococcus aureus biofilms in vitro. We hypothesized that surface-adsorbed DNase I or Tween-80 of SLNs will degrade the biofilm component, extracellular DNA (e-DNA), and extracellular matrix (ECM) of S. aureus biofilms. The SLNs loaded with drug (core) and surface-adsorbed disruptors (Tween-80 or DNase I) to deliver biofilm disruptors first at the site of action, which will help to break down the biofilm, and further drug release from the core will easily penetrate the biofilm and facilitate the killing of bacteria residing in S. aureus biofilms. The SLNs were synthesized by the double emulsion method; the size was 287.3 ± 7.4 nm for blank SLNs and 292.4 ± 2.36 nm for drug-loaded SLNs. The ζ-potential of blank SLNs was -25.6 ± 0.26 mV and that of drug-loaded SLNs was -13.16 ± 0.51 mV, respectively. The successful adsorption of DNase I or Tween-80 was confirmed by the activity of DNase I in blank surface-adsorbed SLNs and the change in the ζ-potential of SLNs after adsorbing DNase I or Tween-80. The surface morphology and size of the SLNs were further characterized using scanning electron microscopy. The encapsulation efficiency of the drug was 16.85 ± 0.84%. The compatibility of the drug with the excipient was confirmed by Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy and the degree of crystallinity was confirmed by X-ray diffraction (XRD) analysis. SLNs showed a sustained release of the drug up to 360 h. SLNs were easily taken up by A549 cells with minimal or no toxicity. The present study showed that Tween-80- or DNase I-adsorbed SLNs efficiently disrupt S. aureus biofilms and possess no or minimal toxicity against cells and red blood cells (RBCs).

Abstract
This study is aimed to evaluating the potential of tween-80 and artificial lung surfactant (ALS) to destabilize S. aureus biofilm. The biofilm destabilization was studied by crystal violet staining, bright field microscopy, and scanning electron microscopy (SEM). During the study, S. aureus biofilm was exposed with tween-80 along various concentrations (1%, 0.1%, and 0.05%) or LS (lung surfactant) at (2.5%, 5%, and 15%) for 2 hrs. It was observed that 0.1% of tween-80 destabilized 63.83 ± 4.35% and 15% ALS 77 ± 1.7% biofilm in comparison to without treatment. The combination of tween-80 and ALS was used and showed a synergistic effect to destabilize 83.4 ± 1.46% biofilm. These results showed the potential of tween-80 and ALS as biofilm disruptors, which further needs to explore in an in-vivo animal model to access the actual potential of biofilm disruption in natural conditions. This study could play a pivotal role to overcome the problem of antibiotic resistance imposed due to biofilm formation to combat antibiotic resistance imposed by bacteria.

Abstract
Colloidal systems have been used to encapsulate, protect and release essential oils in mouthwashes. In this study, we investigated the effect of cetylpyridinium chloride (CPC) on the physicochemical properties and antimicrobial activity of oil-in-water colloidal systems containing tea tree oil (TTO) and the nonionic surfactant polysorbate 80. Our main aim was to evaluate whether CPC could improve the antimicrobial activity of TTO, since this activity is impaired when this essential oil is encapsulated with polysorbate 80. These systems were prepared with different amounts of TTO (0-0.5% w/w) and CPC (0-0.5% w/w), at a final concentration of 2% (w/w) polysorbate 80. Dynamic light scattering (DLS) results revealed the formation of oil-swollen micelles and oil droplets as a function of TTO concentration. Increases in CPC concentrations led to a reduction of around 88% in the mean diameter of oil-swollen micelles. Although this variation was of only 20% for the oil droplets, the samples appearance changed from turbid to transparent. The surface charge of colloidal structures was also markedly affected by the CPC as demonstrated by the transition in zeta potential from slightly negative to highly positive values. Electron paramagnetic resonance (EPR) studies showed that this transition is followed by significant increases in the fluidity of surfactant monolayer of both colloidal structures. The antimicrobial activity of colloidal systems was tested against a Gram-negative (Escherichia coli) and Gram-positive (Staphylococcus aureaus) bacteria. Our results revealed that the inhibition of bacterial growth is observed for the same CPC concentration (0.05% w/w for E. coli and 0.3% w/w for S. aureus) regardless of TTO content. These findings suggest that TTO may not act as an active ingredient in polysorbate 80 containing mouthwashes.

Abstract
Salmonella has been associated with numerous outbreaks from contaminated food products, including emulsions. Emulsions are influenced by emulsifier type and oil presence, which can have varying degrees of stress or protection on bacteria. Although our previous research has shown that emulsifier solutions, rather than emulsions, provide a protective effect on Salmonella typhimurium after thermal treatment, the underlying mechanism remains unclear. This study selected S. typhimurium as the model microorganism and utilized the same emulsifiers (Tween 20, Tween 80, Triton X-100) to create emulsifier solutions and emulsions with the same oil fraction (60% (v/v)) to examine their effect on the expression of nine selected genes (rpoE, rpoH, otsB, proV, fadA, fabA, dnaK, ibpA, ompC) associated with stress response. Specifically, the study observed variations in gene expression under normal and thermal stress at 55°C. After 20-h incubation, Triton X-100 emulsion caused an upregulation of stress-related genes, rpoE, otsB, and fabA, suggesting stressful environment. After thermal treatment, S. typhimurium in Triton X-100 solution showed a longer 5-log reduction time with increased proV and decreased fabA and ompC expression, suggesting enhanced thermal protection compared to its emulsion. Conversely, Tween 80 solution increased fabA and ompC expression, indicating greater membrane fluidity and passive diffusion, potentially reducing thermal resistance. However, according to the upregulation of ibpA, this effect was likely mitigated by the overproduction of heat shock proteins. Notably, Triton X-100 environments exhibited the most significant gene expression changes after heat treatment, whereas Tween 80 without oil was the most inhospitable for bacterial survival. These findings inform bacterial responses under various conditions, aiding food safety strategies.

Abstract
In recent times, the methods used to evaluate gastric ulcer healing worldwide have been based on visual examinations and estimating ulcer dimensions in experimental animals. In this study, the protective effect of rhodanine and 2,4-thiazolidinediones scaffolds compared to esomeprazole was investigated in an ethanol model of stomach ulcers in rats. Pretreatment with experimental treatments or esomeprazole prevented the development of ethanol-induced gastric ulcers. The severity of the lesions and injuries was significantly lower than that of vehicle (10% Tween 80) treated rats. Significant and excellent results were obtained with the compound 6 group, with inhibition percentage and ulcer area values of 97.8% and 12.8 ± 1.1 mm2, respectively. Synthesized compounds 2, 7 and 8 exhibited inhibition percentages and ulcer areas of 94.3% and 31.2 ± 1.1 mm2, 91. 3% and 48.1 ± 0. 8 mm2, 89. 5% and 57. 6 ± 1. 2 mm2, and 89. 1% and 60.3 ± 0. 8 mm2, respectively. These biological outcomes are consistent with the docking studies in which Compounds 7 and 8 showed remarkable binding site affinities toward human H+/K+-ATPase α protein (ID: P20648), rat H+/K+-ATPase α protein (ID: P09626), and Na+/K+-ATPase crystal structure (PDB ID:2ZXE) with binding site energies of - 10.7, - 9.0, and - 10.4 (kcal/mol) and - 8.7, - 8.5, and - 8.0 (kcal/mol), respectively. These results indicate that these test samples were as effective as esomeprazole. Likewise, immunohistochemical staining of antiapoptotic (BCL2) and tumor suppressor (P53) proteins showed strong positive marks in the10% Tween 80- treated group, opposing the mild staining results for the esomeprazole-treated group. Similarly, the staining intensity of the group treated with Compounds 2-8 was variable for both proteins.

Abstract
Given the numerous adverse effects of lung cancer treatment, more research on non-toxic medications is urgently needed. Curcumin (CUR) and berberine (BBR) combat drug resistance by controlling the expression of multidrug resistant pump (MDR1). Fascinatingly, combining these medications increases the effectiveness of preventing lung cancer. Their low solubility and poor stability, however, restrict their therapeutic efficacy. Because of the improved bioavailability and increased encapsulation effectiveness of water-insoluble medicines, surfactant-based nanovesicles have recently received a great deal of attention. The current study sought to elucidate the Combination drug therapy by herbal nanomedicine prevent multidrug resistance protein 1: promote apoptosis in Lung Carcinoma. The impact of several tween (20, 60, and 80) types with varied hydrophobic tails on BBR/CUR-TNV was evaluated. Additionally, the MDR1 activity and apoptosis rate of the BBR/CUR-TNV combination therapy were assessed. The encapsulation effectiveness of TNV was affected by the type of tween. With the TNV made from tween 60, cholesterol, and PEG (47.5: 47.5:5), more encapsulation effectiveness was attained. By combining CUR with BBR, especially when given in TNV, apoptosis increased. Additionally, when CUR and BBR were administered in combination, they significantly reduced the risk of MDR1 development. The current work suggests that the delivery of berberine and curcumin as a combination medication therapy via tween-based nanovesicles may be a potential lung cancer treatment.

Abstract
OBJECTIVES To comparatively evaluate the nisin-incorporated ethylenediamine tetraacetic acid (N-EDTA) and MTAD on cytotoxicity, endodontic biofilm eradication potential, smear layer removal ability, and sealer penetration depth. MATERIALS AND METHODS N-EDTA was prepared and characterized using high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC). Minimum inhibitory, minimum bactericidal, and minimum biofilm inhibitory concentration (MBC, MIC, and MBIC) were determined on Enterococcus faecalis (E. faecalis) strain. The cytocompatibility of N-EDTA and MTAD was evaluated using 3,(4,5-dimethylthiazol-2-yl)-2,5-diphenyltetrazolium bromide (MTT)-based colorimetric assay. Dentin specimens (n = 88 for antibacterial analysis, n = 170 for sealer penetration depth) were prepared and subjected to the classical irrigating strategy and obturation, respectively. The scanning electron microscopic evaluation (SEM) was done for the evaluation of biofilm disruption and smear layer removal. Confocal laser scanning microscopy (CLSM) evaluation was done for determining percentage of bacterial viability and sealer penetration depth. Statistical analysis of one-way ANOVA and Tukey's HSD post hoc tests for bacterial viability and Kruskal-Wallis test and Mann-Whitney test for smear layer removal and depth of penetration were done with the significance level set at p < 0.05. RESULTS MTAD and N-EDTA showed cytocompatibility without any statistical differences from each other. For N-EDTA, the MIC and MBC values were 12.5 μg/ml (1:8), and MBIC values were 36 μg/ml. Biofilm disruption and killed bacterial percentage of N-EDTA was statistically higher than MTAD, whereas both the materials showed similar efficacy in the removal of the smear layer and sealer penetration depth. CONCLUSION N-EDTA had negligible cytotoxicity with similar smear layer removal ability, sealer penetration, and better antibiofilm potential than MTAD. CLINICAL RELEVANCE N-EDTA can serve as a viable alternative endodontic irrigant.

Abstract
The present study hypothesises that the selective brain β2 receptor activation through β2-adrenoreceptor agonist (β2ARA), Formoterol (FMT), suppresses SNCA gene expression, a pathological hallmark of Parkinson's disease (PD) in brain. Further, it is also hypothesized that brain targeted delivery of Formoterol via polysorbate-80 surface modified solid lipid nanoparticles of Formoterol (FMT-SLNs-PS80) can improve its stability, therapeutic efficacy and avoid/reduce peripheral off-target side effects. FMT-SLNs-PS80 was prepared by solvent injection method, the formulation was optimized by using Box-Behnken design and characterized by measuring drug content, entrapment efficacy, particle size, zeta potentials and poly dispersibility. The FMT-SLNs-PS80, significantly decreases the SNCA expression, mitochondrial membrane damage and rotenone induced changes in oxidative (SOD, CAT, GSH and ROS) stress markers in SH-SY5Y cell lines. The ex vivo permeation study of the formulation using everted chicken ileum exhibited a steady state flux. The pharmacokinetic and tissue distribution studies of the formulation in rats showed a significant improvement in the kinetic parameters when compared to naïve FMT, further the formulation also improved the brain bioavailability of FMT. The anti-Parkinson's efficacy studies of the formulation in mice showed a significant neuroprotection against rotenone-induced changes in behavioural and biochemical parameters. Further, the histopathological analysis of mice brain confirms a significant neuroprotective benefit. The present study successfully establishes the brain targeted delivery and anti-Parkinson's therapeutic efficacy of FMT-SLNs-PS80.

Abstract
High water activity oil-in-water emulsions can promote survival and growth of Salmonella Typhimurium. Nevertheless, the precise effect of emulsifier type and oil content on bacterial growth and inactivation is not fully understood. Here, emulsions were prepared using different emulsifiers (Tween 20, Tween 80, and Triton X-100) and different oil fractions (20%, 40%, and 60% (v/v)). TSB (control), emulsifier solutions, and emulsions were inoculated with S. Typhimurium. Bacterial growth rate was measured at 7, 22, and 37°C, whereas thermal inactivation was performed at 55°C. Growth and inactivation data was fitted into Logistic and Weibull models, respectively. At an incubation temperature of 37°C, the presence of high amount of oil (60%) in Tween 20 and Triton X stabilized emulsions extended the lag phase (5.83 ± 2.20 and 9.43 ± 1.07 h, respectively, compared to 2.28 ± 1.54 h for TSB, p < 0.05), whereas individual emulsifiers had no effect on growth behavior compared to TSB. This effect was also prevalent but attenuated at 22°C, whereas no growth was observed at 7°C. In thermal inactivation, we observed protective effect in Tween 80 and Triton X-100 solutions, where time required for five-log reduction was 1914.70 ± 706.35 min and 795.34 ± 420.09 min, respectively, compared to 203.89 ± 10.18 min for TSB (p < 0.05). Interestingly, the presence of high amount of oil did not offer protective effect during thermal inactivation. We hypothesize that oleic acid in Tween 80 and lower hydrophobicity value of Triton X-100 help maintain membrane integrity and improve the resistance of bacteria to heat inactivation.

Abstract
Essential oil nanoemulsion may have improved antibacterial properties over pure oil and can be used for food preservation. Ultrasonic cavitation is the most common mechanism for producing nanoemulsions, and the impact of processing parameters on droplet properties needs to be elucidated. A systematic literature search was performed in four databases (Science Direct, Web of Science, Scopus and PubMed), and 987 articles were found, 16 of which were eligible for the present study. A meta-analysis was performed to qualitatively assess which process parameters (power, sonication time, essential oil, and tween 80 concentration) can influence the final droplet size and polydispersity and how droplet size is associated with antibacterial activity. We observed that power, essential oil, and tween 80 concentrations added during processing are the critical variables for forming smaller droplets. Ratios of up to 3:1 (surfactant:oil) can produce droplets smaller than 180 nm with antibacterial properties superior to pure oil or isolated compounds. The improved properties of nanoemulsions are associated with the size and chemical composition of the droplet since the proportion of the hydrophobic core (EO) and the hydrophilic outer layer (Tween 80) directly influences the antibacterial mechanism of action.

Abstract
Therapeutic monoclonal antibodies (mAbs) are biologics produced using mammalian cells and represent an important class of biotherapeutics. Aggregation in mAbs is a major challenge that can be mitigated by rigorous and reproducible upstream and downstream approaches. The impact of frequently used surfactants, like polysorbate 20, polysorbate 80, poloxamer 188, and 2-hydroxypropyl-beta-cyclodextrin, on aggregation of mAbs during cell culture was investigated in this study. Their impact on cell proliferation, viability, and mAb titer was also investigated. Polysorbate 20 and polysorbate 80 at the concentration of 0.01 g/L and poloxamer 188 at the concentration of 5 g/L were found to be effective in reducing aggregate formation in cell culture medium, without affecting the cell growth or viability. Furthermore, their presence in culture media resulted in increased cell proliferation as compared to the control group. Addition of these surfactants at the specified concentrations increased monomer production while decreasing high molecular weight species in the medium. After mAbs were separated, using protein "A" chromatography, flasks with surfactant exhibited improved antibody stability, when analyzed by DLS. Thus, while producing aggregation-prone mAbs via mammalian cell culture, these excipients may be employed as cell culture medium supplements to enhance the quality and yield of functional mAbs.

Abstract
We evaluated the effects of infusing an exogenous emulsifier (polysorbates-C18:1) either into the rumen or abomasum on fatty acid (FA) digestibility and production responses of lactating dairy cows. Nine ruminally cannulated multiparous Holstein cows (170 ± 13.6 d in milk) were assigned to a treatment sequence in replicated 3 × 3 Latin squares with 18-d periods consisting of 7 d of washout and 11 d of infusion. Treatments were abomasal infusions of water carrier only into the rumen and abomasum (control, CON), 30 g/d polysorbate-C18:1 (T80) infused into the rumen (RUM), or 30 g/d T80 infused into the abomasum (ABO). Emulsifiers were dissolved in water and delivered at 6-h intervals (total daily infusion was divided into 4 equal infusions per day). Cows were fed the same diet that contained [% diet dry matter (DM)] 32.2% neutral detergent fiber (NDF), 16.1% crude protein, 26.5% starch, and 3.41% FA (including 1.96% FA from a saturated FA supplement containing 28.0% C16:0 and 54.6% C18:0). Two orthogonal contrasts were evaluated: (1) the overall effect of T80 {CON vs. average of the T80 infusions [1/2 (ABO + RUM)]}, and (2) the effect of ABO versus RUM infusion. Compared with CON, infusing T80 increased the digestibilities of NDF (2.85 percentage units), total (4.35 percentage units), 16-carbon (3.25 percentage units), and 18-carbon FA (4.60 percentage units), and tended to increase DM digestibility and total and 18-carbon FA absorption. Compared with RUM, ABO decreased the intakes of total (28 g/d), 16-carbon (7 g/d), and 18-carbon FA (19 g/d); tended to increase the digestibility of total and 18-carbon FA; and had no effect on the absorption of total, 16-carbon, or 18-carbon FA. Production responses did not change among our treatments. In conclusion, infusing 30 g/d polysorbates-C18:1 increased NDF and total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA digestibility. Compared with RUM, ABO tended to increase the digestibilities of total and 18-carbon FA; however, this may be related to the fact that ABO reduced the intakes of total, 16-carbon, and 18-carbon FA, not necessarily due to better emulsifying action per se. In summary, ABO and RUM both improved FA absorption.

Abstract
Acetylcholinesterase (AChE) and butyrylcholinesterase (BChE) are enzymes that serve a wide range of physiological functions including the hydrolysis of the neurotransmitter acetylcholine and several other xenobiotics. The development of inhibitors for these enzymes has been the focus for the treatment of several conditions, such as Alzheimer's disease. Novel chemical entities are evaluated as potential inhibitors of AChE and BChE using enzyme kinetics. A common issue encountered in these studies is low aqueous solubility of the possible inhibitor. Additives such as cosolvents or detergents can be included in these studies improve the aqueous solubility. Typical cosolvents include acetonitrile or dimethyl sulfoxide while typical detergents include Polysorbate 20 (Tween 20) or 3-((3-cholamidopropyl) dimethylammonio)-1-propanesulfonate (CHAPS). When solubility is not improved, these molecules are often not evaluated further. To address this issue eleven cosolvents and six detergents that could facilitate aqueous solubility were evaluated to understand how they would affect cholinesterase enzymes using Ellman's assay. These studies show that propylene glycol, acetonitrile, methanol, Tween 20, Polysorbate 80 (Tween 80), polyoxyethylene 23 lauryl ether (Brij 35) and polyoxyethylene 10 oleoyl ether (Brij 96v) have the least inhibitory effects towards cholinesterase activity. It is concluded that these cosolvents and detergents should be considered as solubilizing agents for evaluation of potential cholinesterase inhibitors with low aqueous solubility.

Abstract
Dietary emulsifiers, including carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polysorbate 80 (P80), perturb gut microbiota composition and gene expression, resulting in a microbiota with enhanced capacity to activate host pro-inflammatory gene expression and invade the intestine's inner mucus layer. Such microbiota alterations promote intestinal inflammation, which can have a variety of phenotypic consequences including increased adiposity. Bacterial flagellin is a key mediator of emulsifiers' impact in that this molecule enables motility and is itself a pro-inflammatory agonist. Hence, we reasoned that training the adaptive mucosal immune system to exclude microbes that express flagellin might protect against emulsifiers. Investigating this notion found that immunizing mice with flagellin elicited an increase in mucosal anti-flagellin IgA and IgA-coated microbiota that would have otherwise developed in response to CMC and P80 consumption. Yet, eliciting these responses in advance via flagellin immunization prevented CMC/P80-induced increases in microbiota expression of pro-inflammatory agonists including LPS and flagellin. Furthermore, such immunization prevented CMC/P80-induced microbiota encroachment and deleterious pro-inflammatory consequences associated therewith, including colon shortening and increased adiposity. Hence, eliciting mucosal immune responses to pathobiont surface components, including flagellin, may be a means of combatting the array of inflammatory diseases that are promoted by emulsifiers and perhaps other modern microbiota stressors.

Abstract
Antimicrobials of natural origin are proving to be an effective solution to emerging antimicrobial resistance and its physiological side effects. Recent studies have demonstrated that essential oils encapsulated in the form of nanoemulsions have better antimicrobial activity than the oil itself, possibly due to its high stability, solubility, sustained release, and increased bioavailability. In the present study, fenugreek oil-a well-known antimicrobial and antioxidant-has been used to fabricate nanoemulsion (NE), with an objective to meet potential alternative to synthesized antimicrobials. A combination of three different components, water, fenugreek oil, and Tween 80, has been used to prepare the nanoemulsions of different size and one of the most stable nanoemulsion with lowest concentration of surfactant Tween 80 was used to assess its bioactivity, antimicrobial properties, and toxicity against human hepatic cell line. Among all the formulations, nano-emulsion with 2.5% oil concentration, 30 min sonication (hydrodynamic size 135.2 nm, zeta potential 36.8 mV, PDI 0.135, and pH 5.12), was selected for all studies. The nanoemulsion showed potential antibacterial activity against all the microbial strains (Escherichia coli, Bacillus subtilis, Staphylococcus aureus, and Pseudomonas aeruginosa) used in this study. Interestingly, the nanoemulsion showed potential antibacterial activity against P. aeruginosa, known to show resistance against ampicillin. The toxicity evaluation in human hepatic cell line (WRL-68) indicated no significant toxicity of nanoemulsion up to the concentration of 800 µg/ml. The synthesized nanoemulsion thus has a translational potential as a food-grade non-toxic natural nanoantimicrobials.

Abstract
Ethylene glycol and ferric chloride pretreatment assisted by low-pressure carbon dioxide (1 MPa CO2) realized the targeted deconstruction of lignocelluloses at 170 °C for 5 min, achieving 98 % cellulose recovery with removal of 92 % lignin and 90 % hemicellulose. After the pretreatment, the formation of stable platform mono-phenol components would be with the destruction of the lignin-carbohydrate complexes structure, and the surface of rice straw became rough, with a less negative charge and higher specific surface area, while the enzyme adsorption rate increased by 8.1 times. Furthermore, the glucose yield of pretreated straw was remarkably increased by 5.6 times that of the untreated straw, reaching 91 % after hydrolyzed for 48 h. With Tween 80 added in concentrated solid (12 %) hydrolysis at low cellulase loading (3 FPU/g dry substrate), half of the hydrolysis time was shortened than that without Tween 80, with 45 % higher glucose yield.

Abstract
Polysorbate 80 is a non-ionic detergent derived from polyethoxylated sorbitan and oleic acid. It is widely used in pharmaceuticals, foods, and cosmetics as an emulsifier. Nav1.7 is a peripheral sodium channel that is highly expressed in sympathetic and sensory neurons, and it plays a critical role in determining the threshold of action potentials (APs). We found that 10 μg/mL polysorbate 80 either abolished APs or increased the threshold of the APs of dorsal root ganglions. We thus investigated whether polysorbate 80 inhibits Nav1.7 sodium current using a whole-cell patch-clamp recording technique. Polysorbate 80 decreased the Nav1.7 current in a concentration-dependent manner with a half-maximal inhibitory concentration (IC50) of 250.4 μg/mL at a holding potential of -120 mV. However, the IC50 was 1.1 μg/mL at a holding potential of -90 mV and was estimated to be 0.9 μg/mL at the resting potentials of neurons, where most channels are inactivated. The activation rate and the voltage dependency of activation of Nav1.7 were not changed by polysorbate 80. However, polysorbate 80 caused hyperpolarizing shifts in the voltage dependency of the steady-state fast inactivation curve. The blocking of Nav1.7 currents by polysorbate 80 was not reversible at a holding potential of -90 mV but was completely reversible at -120 mV, where the channels were mostly in the closed state. Polysorbate 80 also slowed recovery from inactivation and induced robust use-dependent inhibition, indicating that it is likely to bind to and stabilize the inactivated state. Our results indicate that polysorbate 80 inhibits Nav1.7 current in concentration-, state-, and use-dependent manners when used even below commercial concentrations. This suggests that polysorbate 80 may be helpful in pain medicine as an excipient. In addition, in vitro experiments using polysorbate 80 with neurons should be conducted with caution.

Abstract
Aedes aegypti is the main vector of yellow fever, chikungunya, Zika, and dengue worldwide and is managed by using chemical insecticides. Though effective, their indiscriminate use brings in associated problems on safety to non-target and the environment. This supports the use of plant-based essential oil (EO) formulations as they are safe to use with limited effect on non-target organisms. Quick volatility and degradation of EO are a hurdle in its use; the present study attempts to develop nanoemulsions (NE) of Trachyspermum ammi EO and its constituent thymol using Tween 80 as surfactant by ultrasonication method. The NE of EO had droplet size ranging from 65 ± 0.7 to 83 ± 0.09 nm and a poly dispersity index (PDI) value of 0.18 ± 0.003 to 0.20 ± 0.07 from 1 to 60 days of storage. The NE of thymol showed a droplet size ranging from 167 ± 1 to 230 ± 1 nm and PDI value of 0.30 ± 0.03 to 0.40 ± 0.008 from 1 to 60 days of storage. The droplet shape of both NEs appeared spherical under a transmission electron microscope (TEM). The larvicidal effect of NEs of EO and thymol was better than BEs (Bulk emulsion) of EO and thymol against Ae. aegypti. Among the NEs, thymol (LC50 34.89 ppm) had better larvicidal action than EO (LC50 46.73 ppm). Exposure to NEs of EO and thymol causes the shrinkage of the larval cuticle and inhibited the acetylcholinesterase (AChE) activity in Ae. aegypti. Our findings show the enhanced effect of NEs over BEs which facilitate its use as an alternative control measure for Ae. aegypti.

Abstract
Elasmolomus pallens are post-harvest insect pests of peanuts that are becoming resistant to chemical insecticides. In this, we study evaluated the effect of conidial formulations on entomopathogenic fungi against E. pallens to reduce the adverse effects. Fungal conidia were formulated and applied on sterile filter papers at varying concentrations (1 × 104–1 × 108 conidia mL−1) inside plastic containers. The test insects were exposed and maintained in a relative humidity of 80 ± 10% for 10 d at room temperature (25 ± 2 °C). Mortality was recorded every 24 h. Dose–response bioassay (LC50 and LC90) values for Aspergillus flavus formulated in oil were 1.95 × 106 and 3.66 × 109 conidia/mL, whereas formulations in Tween 80 had 9.36 × 107 and 6.50 × 109 conidia/mL. However, oil-formulated Metarhizium anisopliae had 3.92 × 106 and 2.57 × 108 conidia/mL, with 6.85 × 106 and 5.37 × 108, for formulations in Tween 80. A. flavus had LT50 values of 3.3 and 6.6 days, whereas M. anisopliae had LT50 values of 3.6 and 5.7 d. Maximum protease, chitinase, and lipase activities of 2.51, 0.98, and 3.22 U/mL, respectively, were recorded for A. flavus, whereas values of 2.43, 0.93, and 3.46 were recorded for M. anisopliae. The investigated pathogens demonstrate potential against E. pallens; therefore, their applicability under field conditions requires further investigation.

Abstract
The COVID-19 pandemic motivated research on antiviral filtration used in personal protective equipment and HVAC systems. In this research, three coating compositions of NaCl, Tween 20 surfactant, and NaCl-Tween 20 were examined on polypropylene spun-bond filters. The pressure drop, coverage, and crystal size of the coating methods and compositions were measured. Also, in vitro plaque assays of the Phi6 Bacteriophage on Pseudomonas syringae as a simulation of an enveloped respiratory virus was performed to investigate the antiviral properties of the coating. NaCl and NaCl-Tween 20 increased the pressure drop in the range of 40-50 Pa for a loading of 5 mg/cm2. Tween 20 has shown an impact on the pressure drop as low as 10 Pa and made the filter surface more hydrophilic which kept the virus droplets on the surface. The NaCl-Tween 20 coated samples could inactivate 108 plaque forming units (PFU) of virus in two hours of incubation. Tween 20 coated filters with loading as low as 0.2 mg/cm2 reduced the activity of 108 PFU of virus from 109 to 102 PFU/mL after 2 h of incubation. NaCl-coated samples with a salt loading of 15 mg/cm2 could not have antiviral properties higher than reducing the viral activity from 109 to 105 PFU/mL in 4 h of incubation.

Abstract
The aim of the present study was to investigate if mucus applied to Caco-2 cell monolayers protects cells from high concentrations of surfactants, while still allowing for an identification of the surfactant's inhibitory effects on P-glycoprotein (P-gp). Two types of porcine mucin and six surfactants (Polysorbate 20 (PS20) and 80 (PS80), Kolliphor EL (Kol. EL) and RH40 (Kol. RH40), Labrafil M 2125 CS (L.fil) and Labrasol (L.sol)) were applied to Caco-2 cells, and TEER, paracellular transport and P-gp mediated digoxin transport was measured. The results showed that 15% porcine mucin type II was incompatible with Caco-2 cell monolayer integrity, resulting in a dramatic drop in monolayer TEER and increased mannitol transport. In contrast, mucin type III was compatible with Caco-2 cell monolayers in the concentration range of 2.5-15% without substantially disturbing barrier properties. The highest concentration of mucin type III impaired the ability of all six surfactants to decrease P-gp mediated digoxin transport. Subsequently lowering the mucin concentration to 5% facilitated adequate protection of cells and enabled e.g., 5% PS20 to inhibit P-gp mediated digoxin transport. Overall, the present work is useful for early-stage permeability investigations on how mucus affects P-gp mediated transport in the presence of formulation excipients.

Abstract
Cancer and drug-resistant superinfections are common and serious problems afflicting millions worldwide. Photodynamic therapy (PDT) is a successful and clinically approved modality used for the management of many neoplastic and nonmalignant diseases. The combination of the light-activated molecules, so-called photosensitizers (PSs), with an appropriate carrier, is proved to enhance PDT efficacy both in vitro and in vivo. In this paper, we focus on the solvation of several potential chlorin PSs in the 1-octanol/phosphate saline buffer biphasic system, their interaction with non-ionic surfactant Tween 80 and photoinactivation of cancer cells. The chlorin conjugates containing d-galactose and l-arginine fragments are found to have a much stronger affinity towards a lipid-like environment compared to ionic chlorins and form molecular complexes with Tween 80 micelles in water with two modes of binding. The charged macrocyclic PSs are located in the periphery of surfactant micelles near hydrophilic head groups, whereas the d-galactose and l-arginine conjugates are deeper incorporated into the micelle structure occupying positions around the first carbon atoms of the hydrophobic surfactant residue. Our results indicate that both PSs have a pronounced affinity toward the lipid-like environment, leading to their preferential binding to low-density lipoproteins. This and the conjugation of chlorin e6 with the tumor-targeting molecules are found to enhance their accumulation in cancer cells and PDT efficacy.

Abstract
A highly stable oil-in-water nanoemulsion for topical applications, containing mangostins extracted from the pericarp of mangosteen (Garcinia mangostana L.), is a promising strategy to protect mangostins as well as to improve penetration of these important antioxidants through the skins. Nanoemulsions consisted of virgin coconut oil as the oil phase, Tween-80 and Span-80 as surfactants, and xanthan gum as the thickening agent, were prepared using the high-energy and low-energy emulsification methods. The nanoemulsions that were stable up to 28 days had oil droplet diameter of 220 nm to 353 nm and zeta potential of -46.9 mV to -63.7 mV. The accelerated stability test showed that the most stable nanoemulsions were those prepared using the low-energy emulsification method with an estimated shelf life of eleven months, composed of 11% oil phase, 17% surfactant, and 72% aqueous phase. The in vitro percutaneous penetration test for the nanoemulsion with added xanthan gum provided high cumulative skin penetration of mangostins of up to 114 μg/cm2. The results of this study indicate that virgin coconut oil-based nanoemulsions containing mangostins, prepared using the low-energy emulsification method, stabilized by xanthan gum and mixed at 40°C can prospectively be used for topical applications.

Abstract
Schizophyllum commune (S. commune) polysaccharides are biomacromolecules with multiple biological activities and wide applications. In this study, polysaccharide production through submerged fermentation of S. commune using different surfactants was investigated. The addition of 1 g/L of polyoxyethylene sorbitan monooleate (Tween 80) at the beginning of the fermentation showed the best promotional effects on collective exopolysaccharide (EPS) production (which increased by 37.17%) while shortening the production cycle by 2 days. The monosaccharide composition of the EPS produced when the added Tween 80 was similar to that of the control; however, the molecular weight (Mw) was lower. Notably, the addition of Tween 80 significantly increased the ATP levels and the transcription levels of phosphoglucomutase and β-glucan synthase genes in the polysaccharide synthesis pathway. The addition of Tween 80 reduced the pellet size of the mycelium compared to that of the control, but did not significantly change the microstructure of the mycelial cells. This study proposes an efficient strategy for the production of polysaccharides through submerged fermentation of S. commune, and elucidates the detailed mechanism of using Tween 80 as a fermentation stimulatory reagent.

Abstract
Tween 80 is a well-known non-ionic emulsifier which is used in pharmaceutical and food industries. Due to its widespread applications it is needed to understand how it affects bacteria. The current study aimed to investigate the effect of Tween 80 on the fatty acid content of bacteria. Three bacterial isolates were used in this study: two isolates of Serratia marcescens and one isolate of Acinetobacter baumannii. The analysis of fatty acid components of bacterial lipids was performed, followed by the assessment of the effect of Tween 80 on fatty acid content by adding it to the culture medium in three concentrations: 0.1%, 0.5% , and 1.0 % .The results indicated that the Tween 80 has the ability to change the fatty acid content present in these bacteria by the appearance and disappearance of three fatty acids, including Elaidic acid 18.1 trance 9, Oleic acid 18.1 cis 9, and erucic acid 22.1, which belong to Mono-Unsaturated Fatty Acids (MUFA), in the presence of different concentrations of Tween 80. The results also demonstrated that the p-value was significant in two situations, the first belonged to S. marcescens at 0.5 % concentration for all groups of FAs (Saturated fatty acids, Monounsaturated fatty acids, and polyunsaturated fatty acids), and the second was for S. marcescens just in MUFA in all concentrations of Tween 80.

Abstract
Human serum albumin (HSA) has been widely used as a pharmaceutical excipient in Botulinum toxin serotype A (BoNT/A) products that are indicated for use in therapeutics and cosmetics. However, HSA as a human-derived material has some concerns, such as the potential risk of transmission of infectious agents, an insufficient supply, and difficulty in maintaining a certain quality. For those reasons, newly developed BoNT/A products (CORETOX®, Medytox, Inc., Republic of Korea) contained polysorbate 20, a non-human-derived excipient, to replace the HSA. However, most safety studies of polysorbate 20 have been conducted with non-invasive routes of administration, and thus there are a few studies on the safety of polysorbate 20 when administered intramuscularly. To secure the in vivo safety profile of polysorbate 20, a four-week repeated intramuscular dose toxicity study (0.02, 0.1, and 0.4 mg/kg, one injection every two weeks for a total of three injections) was conducted in 66 Sprague-Dawley (SD) rats. An intradermal irritation study was further conducted with 18 New Zealand White (NZW) rabbits. The toxicological evaluation of HSA (0.06 and 0.12 mg/kg) was also carried out as a comparative substance. Systemic and local toxicities were not observed in any of the SD rats or NZW rabbits based on clinical signs, body weight, hematology, clinical biochemistry, macroscopic findings on necropsy, histopathology of the injection site, and allergic reactions. The current study suggested that intramuscular administration of polysorbate 20 was considered to be safe at a level similar to that of HSA, which has an in vivo safety profile accumulated over the years. This provided the basis for the in vivo safety profile of polysorbate 20 administered intramuscularly and the scientific reliability of the use of polysorbate 20 as an alternative to HSA, which is used as an excipient for various pharmaceuticals in terms of its safety.

Abstract
Emerging evidence indicates a fundamental role for the epigenome in immunity. Here, we mapped the epigenomic and transcriptional landscape of immunity to influenza vaccination in humans at the single-cell level. Vaccination against seasonal influenza induced persistently diminished H3K27ac in monocytes and myeloid dendritic cells (mDCs), which was associated with impaired cytokine responses to Toll-like receptor stimulation. Single-cell ATAC-seq analysis revealed an epigenomically distinct subcluster of monocytes with reduced chromatin accessibility at AP-1-targeted loci after vaccination. Similar effects were observed in response to vaccination with the AS03-adjuvanted H5N1 pandemic influenza vaccine. However, this vaccine also stimulated persistently increased chromatin accessibility at interferon response factor (IRF) loci in monocytes and mDCs. This was associated with elevated expression of antiviral genes and heightened resistance to the unrelated Zika and Dengue viruses. These results demonstrate that vaccination stimulates persistent epigenomic remodeling of the innate immune system and reveal AS03's potential as an epigenetic adjuvant.

Abstract
Serotonin plays a pivotal role in the initiation and modulation of locomotor behavior in the intact animal, as well as following spinal cord injury. Quipazine, a serotonin 2 receptor agonist, has been used successfully to initiate and restore motor behavior in rodents. Although evidence suggests that the effects of quipazine are spinally mediated, it is unclear whether intrathecal (IT) quipazine administration alone is enough to activate locomotor-like activity or whether additional stimulation is needed. Thus, the current study examined the effects of IT administration of quipazine in postnatal day 1 rats in two separate experiments. In experiment 1, quipazine (0.1, 0.3, or 1.0 mg/kg) was dissolved in saline and administered via IT injection to the thoracolumbar cord. There was no significant effect of drug on hindlimb alternating stepping. In experiment 2, quipazine (0.3 or 1.0 mg/kg) was dissolved in a polysorbate 80-saline solution (Tween 80) and administered via IT injection. Polysorbate 80 was used to disrupt the blood-brain barrier to facilitate absorption of quipazine. The injection was followed by tail pinch 5 minutes post-injection. A significant increase in the percentage of hindlimb alternating steps was found in subjects treated with 0.3 mg/kg quipazine, suggesting that IT quipazine when combined with sensory stimulation to the spinal cord, facilitates locomotor-like behavior. These findings indicate that dissolving the drug in polysorbate 80 rather than saline may heighten the effects of IT quipazine. Collectively, this study provides clarification on the role of quipazine in evoking spinally-mediated locomotor behavior.

Abstract
Impaired intestinal permeability can induce systemic inflammation and metabolic disturbance. However, the effect of impaired intestinal permeability on metabolic function in the skeletal muscle is unknown. Dietary polysorbate 80 (PS80), a common emulsifier, has been shown to impair intestinal permeability in mice. Here, we investigated the effect of PS80-induced intestinal permeability on glucose tolerance with metabolic signaling in the skeletal muscle. Male ICR mice were divided into control and PS80 groups. In the PS80 group, PS80 was contained in the drinking water at 1% (w/v). After 4 weeks, plasma fluorescein isothiocyanate (FITC) intensity was measured after orally administering FITC-dextran. Half of the mice in each group underwent running exercises. Metabolic and inflammatory parameters were examined in the blood and skeletal muscle. Plasma FITC and lipopolysaccharide levels were higher in the PS80 group than the control group (p < .01, p = .085). The expression of tumor necrosis factor-α in the skeletal muscle was increased upon PS80 administration (p < .05). Although the homeostasis model assessment ratio was higher in the PS80-fed mice (p < .05), insulin-signaling activity in the muscle did not differ between groups. Muscular pH, mitochondrial cytochrome oxidase activity, and glycogen content after exercise were lower in the PS80 group (p < .05) than the control group. There was a negative correlation between plasma FITC and muscle glycogen levels in the exercised groups (r = -.60, p < .05). These results suggest that daily PS80 intake induces intestinal permeability, leading to glucose intolerance and mitochondrial dysfunction in the skeletal muscle.

Abstract
There is an association between food additive emulsifiers and the prevalence of Crohn’s disease. This study aimed to investigate: (i) the effect of different classes of emulsifiers on markers of intestinal inflammation in mice and (ii) the feasibility, nutritional adequacy and symptom impact of restricting all emulsifier classes in Crohn’s disease. Mice were exposed to different classes of emulsifiers (carboxymethycellose, polysorbate-80, soy lecithin, gum arabic) in drinking water for 12-weeks, after which markers of inflammation and metabolism were measured. A low emulsifier diet was developed to restrict all classes of emulsifiers and its feasibility measured over 14-days in 20 participants with stable Crohn’s disease. Crohn’s disease-related symptoms, disease control, body weight and composition, nutrient intake and food-related quality of life (QoL) were measured. All emulsifiers resulted in lower murine colonic length compared with control (mean 9.5 cm (SEM 0.20)), but this only reached significance for polysorbate-80 (8.2 cm (0.34), p = 0.024) and carboxymethylcellulose (8.0 cm (0.35), p = 0.013). All 20 participants completed the feasibility study. The frequency of consuming emulsifier-containing foods decreased by 94.6% (SD 10.3%). Food-related QoL improved between habitual (median 81.5 (IQR 25.0)) and low emulsifier diet (90.0 (24.0), p = 0.028). Crohn’s disease-related symptoms reduced (median 3.0 (IQR 5.3) vs. 1.4 (3.9), p = 0.006), and disease control scores improved (13.5 (IQR 6.0) vs. 15.5 (IQR 3.0), p = 0.026). A range of emulsifiers may influence intestinal inflammation in mice, and dietary restriction of emulsifiers is feasible. Trials investigating the efficacy of a low emulsifier diet in Crohn’s disease are warranted.

Abstract
The effect of the introduction of a non-ionogenic surfactant Polysorbate 20 into a sorption preparation (CB-H-BYA) on the structure of sorbent layers formed on the surface of spring wheat seeds during their pre-sowing treatment has been studied using electron microscopy. According to the results, an increase in the efficiency of sorption preparations containing Polysorbate 20 is based on an intensification of the bentonite aggregate disintegration into individual montmorillonite particles and a formation of more dense protective sorption layer providing a better protection of seeds against allelotoxins on the seed surface. The introduction of non-ionogenic surfactants into the preparation increases a sorption capacity of a bentonite-humus complex that results in a decreased gibberellin activity in a solution. Therefore, to achieve the maximum physiological activity of gibberellin in a preparation solution, it is necessary to increase its concentration from 100 to 300 mg/L. As a result, the stimulating effect increases from 36 to 55%.

Abstract
The efficient bioremediation of estrogen contamination in complex environments is of great concern. Here the strain Stenotrophomonas maltophilia SJTH1 was found with great and stable estrogen-degradation efficiency even under stress environments. The strain could utilize 17β-estradiol (E2) as a carbon source and degrade 90% of 10 mg/L E2 in a week; estrone (E1) was the first degrading intermediate of E2. Notably, diverse pH conditions (3.0-11.0) and supplements of 4% salinity, 6.25 mg/L of heavy metal (Cd2+ or Cu2+), or 1 CMC of surfactant (Tween 80/ Triton X-100) had little effect on its cell growth and estrogen degradation. The addition of low concentrations of copper and Tween 80 even promoted its E2 degradation. Bioaugmentation of strain SJTH1 into solid clay soil achieved over 80% removal of E2 contamination (10 mg/kg) within two weeks. Further, the whole genome sequence of S. maltophilia SJTH1 was obtained, and a series of potential genes participating in stress-tolerance and estrogen-degradation were predicted. Four dehydrogenases similar to 17β-hydroxysteroid dehydrogenases (17β-HSDs) were found to be induced by E2, and the four heterogenous-expressed enzymes could oxidize E2 into E1 efficiently. This work could promote bioremediation appliance potential with microorganisms and biodegradation mechanism study of estrogens in complex real environments.

Abstract
This study provides fundamental information about the influence of salt on the physicochemical stability of oregano essential oil (EO) and its main components incorporated in a nanoemulsion delivery system containing Tween 80 (T80) emulsifier. The emulsion stability was found to be strongly correlated with the lipid phase composition and the type of salts. The oregano essential oil nanoemulsions remained stable for several weeks in the absence of salts. Moreover, they were insensitive to tetrabutylammonium bromide, whereas similar to carvacrol emulsions, they exhibited a rapid phase separation and oiling-off in the presence of sodium chloride. On the other hand, high oleic sunflower oil (HOSO) and p-cymene emulsions remained stable in the presence of NaCl. Addition of 70 and 80% HOSO to the lipid phase of oregano EO and carvacrol, respectively, was found to be sufficient for the formation of emulsions with a high stability to 1.7 M NaCl. Hereby, the morphology of the oregano EO emulsions after 30 days of storage in the presence of NaCl was visualized using a transmission electron microscope. The determination of the surface load and area per surfactant molecule by interfacial tension (IFT) measurements and quartz crystal microbalance with dissipation revealed the dehydration of the polyoxyethylene groups of T80 in the presence of salt. The thickness of the T80 adsorbed layer onto solid hydrophobic and hydrophilic surfaces was significantly lower (p < 0.05) in the presence of sodium chloride. It is hypothesized that a combination of Ostwald ripening and coalescence due to an IFT increase and dehydration was responsible for the instability of the emulsions containing the more polar oregano EO and carvacrol in the presence of salt. The results obtained in this study could be useful for the formulation of essential oil nanoemulsions in the presence of salts applicable in food, pharmaceutical, and personal care products.

Abstract
In this study, Plackett-Burman and central composite designs were applied to improve polyhydroxybutyrate (PHB) production from alkaline pretreatment liquor (APL) by Cupriavidus necator DSM 545 using a supplement system consisting of oxidative enzymes (laccase, aryl alcohol oxidase (AAO)), mediators (ABTS, HOBT), DMSO, silica nanoparticle Aerosol R816 and surfactant Tween 80. First, screening experiments under Plackett-Burman design showed R816, ABTS and Tween 80 could significantly enhance PHB production. Additional experiments showed that HOBT and DMSO could be removed, and laccase and AAO were needed to remain in the system. Second, a central composite design was applied to obtain the optimum supplemental levels of R816, ABTS and Tween 80. Under optimum conditions, theoretical maximum PHB production (1.9 g/L) was close to experimental PHB production (2.1 g/L). With the supplement system, a 10-fold increase was achieved compared to PHB production (0.2 g/L) without any supplements.

Abstract
Current work proposes an innovative wheat straw biomass utilization strategy that connects efficient lignocellulose biodegradation with exo-polysaccharide (EPS) production in I. obliquus under submerged fermentation. The addition of Tween 80 increased the activities of ligninolytic enzymes MnP, LiP and Lac by 1200%, 125% and 39.9%, respectively. When wheat straw lignin recalcitrance was substantially reduced with the aid of Tween 80, I. obliquus was capable of utilizing the substrates and in turn accumulated EPS. The degradation of cellulose, hemicellulose and lignin reached 46.1%, 46.4% and 44.1% on Day 9 of growth, respectively. Meanwhile, the maximum mycelial biomass and EPS production increased by 23.3% and 142.9%, respectively. The EPS had higher contents of sugar, protein, uronic acid, and mannose ratio, and higher antioxidant activity against 2, 2-diphenyl-1-picrylhydrazyl (DPPH), 2,2-azinobis-(3-ethylbenzothiazoline-6-sulfonic acid) (ABTS•+) and hydroxyl radicals.

Abstract
Eliminating the adverse environmental impact of chemical dispersants for oil spill has been a significant challenge since decades ago. Here, we prepared an effective and environmentally-friend dispersant with stable emulsifying capacity by the soybean lecithin and Tween 80. The mean droplet diameters of emulsions prepared by decane decreased from 11.3 to 4.1 μm, the emulsification index of emulsion climbed from 0 to 22.0% by 0.5 wt% dispersant. This dispersant exhibits favorable emulsifying capacity when the temperature ranges from 10 to 40 °C, pH within 5-7, and the concentration of inorganic cation is 30000 mg/L. Fluorescence microscopy analysis, FTIR, and the interfacial tension meter were employed to investigate the interaction between the soybean lecithin and Tween 80, a clear redshift of the hydroxyl group on the lecithin/Tween 80 dispersant and the detected surfactants over the oil-water interface confirm that there exists a synergy between the lecithin and Tween 80 due to the electrostatic attractions, which tremendously contribute to the reduction in the interfacial tension between water and oil. To further understand the influence of the dispersant on the oil hydrocarbon concentration in the water column, visualization simulation with the varying depths were performed. The results showed that the oil hydrocarbon concentration in the water column bottom was proportional to the addition of the dispersant, which facilitates spilled oil dispersing into smaller droplets, accelerates the biodegradation process. Hence, the lecithin/Tween 80 dispersant can be perceived as a promising alternative for oil spill remediation.

Abstract
With the HIV-1 epidemic in southern Africa still rising, a prophylactic vaccine against the region’s most prolific subtype (subtype C) would be a significant step forward. In this paper we report on the effect of 2 different adjuvants, AddaVax and AlhydroGel, formulated with HIV-1 subtype C gp140, on the development of binding and neutralising antibody titres in rabbits. AddaVax is a squalene-based oil-in-water nano-emulsion (similar to MF59) which can enhance both cellular and humoral immune responses, whilst AlhydroGel (aluminium hydroxide gel) mainly drives a Th2 response. The gp140 gene tested was derived from the superinfecting virus (SU) from participant CAP256 in the CAPRISA 002 Acute infection cohort. The furin cleavage site of the Env protein was replaced with a flexible linker and an I559P mutation introduced. Lectin affinity purified soluble Env protein was mainly trimeric as judged by molecular weight using BN-PAGE and contained intact broadly neutralising epitopes for the V3-glycan supersite (monoclonal antibodies PGT128 and PGT135), the CD4 binding site (VRC01) and the V2-glycan (PG9) but not for the trimer-specific monoclonal antibodies PG16, PGT145 and CAP256-VRC26_08. When this soluble Env protein was tested in rabbits, AlhydroGel significantly enhanced soluble Env and V1V2 binding antibodies when compared to AddaVax. Finally, AlhydroGel resulted in significantly higher neutralization titres for a subtype C Tier 1A virus (MW965.26) and increased neutralization breadth to Tier 1A and 1B viruses. However, no autologous Tier 2 neutralisation was observed. These data suggest that adjuvant selection is critical for developing a successful vaccine and AlhydroGel should be further investigated. Additional purification of trimeric native-like CAP256 Env and/or priming with DNA or MVA might enhance the induction of neutralizing antibodies and possible Tier 2 HIV-1 neutralisation.

Abstract
The dichlorvos-ammonia (DV-AM) method is a simple but sensitive visual method for detecting aflatoxigenic fungi. Here we sought to develop a selective medium that is appropriate for the growth of aflatoxigenic fungi among soil mycoflora. We examined the effects of different concentrations of carbon sources (sucrose and glucose) and detergents (deoxycholate (DOC), Triton X-100, and Tween 80) on microorganisms in soils, using agar medium supplemented with chloramphenicol. The results demonstrated that 5–10% sucrose concentrations and 0.1–0.15% DOC concentrations were appropriate for the selective detection of aflatoxigenic fungi in soil. We also identified the optimal constituents of the medium on which the normal rapid growth of Rhizopus sp. was completely inhibited. By using the new medium along with the DV-AM method, we succeeded in the isolation of aflatoxigenic fungi from non-agricultural fields in Fukui city, Japan. The fungi were identified as Aspergillus nomius based on their calmodulin gene sequences. These results indicate that the new medium will be useful in practice for the detection of aflatoxigenic fungi in soil samples including those from non-agricultural environments.

Abstract
Increased intestinal barrier permeability has been correlated with aging and disease, including type 2 diabetes, Crohn's disease, celiac disease, multiple sclerosis and irritable bowel syndrome. The prevalence of these ailments has risen together with an increase in industrial food processing and food additive consumption. Additives, including sugar, metal oxide nanoparticles, surfactants and sodium chloride, have all been suggested to increase intestinal permeability. We used two complementary model systems to examine the effects of food additives on gut barrier function: a Drosophila in vivo model and an in vitro human cell co-culture model. Of the additives tested, intestinal permeability was increased most dramatically by high sugar. High sugar also increased feeding but reduced gut and overall animal size. We also examined how food additives affected the activity of a gut mucosal defense factor, intestinal alkaline phosphatase (IAP), which fluctuates with bacterial load and affects intestinal permeability. We found that high sugar reduced IAP activity in both models. Artificial manipulation of the microbiome influenced gut permeability in both models, revealing a complex relationship between the two. This study extends previous work in flies and humans showing that diet can play a role in the health of the gut barrier. Moreover, simple models can be used to study mechanisms underlying the effects of diet on gut permeability and function.This article has an associated First Person interview with the first author of the paper.

Abstract
Rapid quantification of absolute microbial cell abundances is important for a comprehensive interpretation of microbiome surveys and crucial to support theoretical modelling and the design of engineered systems. In this paper, we propose a protocol specifically optimised for the quantification of microbial abundances in water biofilters using flow cytometry (FCM). We optimised cell detachment from sand biofilter particles for FCM quantification through the evaluation of five chemical dispersants (NaCl, Triton-X100, CaCl2, sodium pyrophosphate (PP), Tween 80 combined with PP), different mechanical pre-treatments (low and high energy sonication and shaking) and two fixation methods (glutaraldehyde and ethanol). The developed protocol was cross-compared using other established and commonly employed methods for biomass quantification in water filter samples (adenosine triphosphate (ATP) quantification, real-time quantitative PCR (qPCR) and volatile solids (VS)). The highest microbial count was obtained by detaching the biofilm from biofilter grains and dispersing clusters into singles cells using Tween 80 and sodium pyrophosphate combined with four steps of high energy sonication (27W, for 80 s each step); glutaraldehyde was shown to be the best fixative solution. The developed protocol was reliable and highly reproducible and produced results that are comparable to data from alternative quantification methods. Indeed, high correlations were found with trends obtained through ATP and qPCR (ρ = 0.98 and ρ = 0.91) measurements. The VS content was confirmed as an inaccurate method to express biomass in sand samples since it correlated poorly with all the other three methods (ρ = 0.005 with FCM, 0.002 with ATP and 0.177 with qPCR). FCM and ATP showed the strongest agreement between absolute counts with a slope of the correlation equal to 0.7, while qPCR seemed to overestimate cell counts by a factor of ten. The rapidity and reproducibility of the method developed make its application ideal for routine quantification of microbial cell abundances on sand from water biofilters and thus useful in revealing the ecological patterns and quantifying the metabolic kinetics involved in such systems.

Abstract
Bioremediation, mainly by indigenous bacteria, has been regarded as an effective way to deal with the petroleum pollution after an oil spill accident. The biodegradation of crude oil by microorganisms co-incubated from sediments collected from the Penglai 19-3 oil platform, Bohai Sea, China, was examined. The relative susceptibility of the isomers of alkylnaphthalenes, alkylphenanthrenes and alkyldibenzothiophene to biodegradation was also discussed. The results showed that the relative degradation values of total petroleum hydrocarbon (TPH) are 43.56% and 51.29% for sediments with untreated microcosms (S-BR1) and surfactant-treated microcosms (S-BR2), respectively. TPH biodegradation results showed an obvious decrease in saturates (biodegradation rate: 67.85-77.29%) and a slight decrease in aromatics (biodegradation rate: 47.13-57.21%), while no significant difference of resins and asphaltenes was detected. The biodegradation efficiency of alkylnaphthalenes, alkylphenanthrenes and alkyldibenzothiophene for S-BR1 and S-BR2 samples reaches 1.28-84.43% and 42.56-86.67%, respectively. The efficiency of crude oil degradation in sediment with surfactant-treated microcosms cultures added Tween 20, was higher than that in sediment with untreated microcosms. The biodegradation and selective depletion is not only controlled by thermodynamics but also related to the stereochemical structure of individual isomer compounds. Information on the biodegradation of oil spill residues by the bacterial community revealed in this study will be useful in developing strategies for bioremediation of crude oil dispersed in the marine ecosystem.

Abstract
Tween® 80 is a frequently used supplement of media for the cultivation of lactic acid bacteria. We investigated its effect on the cell physiology and stress tolerance of Lactobacillus (L.) plantarum. Data on the transcriptomic response to Tween 80 supplementation and its effects on cellular fatty acid profiles and growth characteristics are compared with data characterizing the effect of Tween 80, other Tween types and free fatty acids on the high hydrostatic pressure (HHP) tolerance of L. plantarum strain TMW 1.708. These include effects on cell viability, sub-lethal injury, metabolic activity, protein release and propidium iodide uptake. Tween 80 caused the downregulation of fatty acid biosynthesis and an increase in oleic acid and cyclopropane fatty acid levels in the cell membrane. Tween 20, Tween 80 and free oleic acid, but not Tween 40, Tween 60 and other free fatty acids, conferred resistance against HHP. Tween 80 diminished pressure-induced loss of metabolic activity, protein release and uptake of propidium iodide. However, loss of cell viability exceeded by far membrane permeabilization, suggesting that membrane permeabilization, which has frequently been postulated as a major factor in HHP inactivation of microbes, is not necessarily required for HHP-induced cell death of Lactobacillus plantarum.

Abstract
The consumption of generally regarded as safe emulsifiers has increased, and has been associated with an increased prevalence of inflammatory bowel and metabolic diseases, as well as an altered microbiome. The mucus barrier, which selectively controls the transport of particulates and microorganisms to the underlying epithelial layer, has been previously shown to be altered by dietary salts and lipids. However, the potential impact of emulsifiers on the protective mucus barrier, its permeability, and associated structural changes are not clear. In this study, we analyzed changes in the mucus barrier to both passively diffusing nanoparticles and actively swimming E. coli upon exposure to two emulsifiers, carboxymethylcellulose (CMC) and polysorbate 80 (Tween). When exposed to CMC, mucus pore size decreased, which resulted in significantly slower E. coli speed and particle diffusion rates through mucus. Tween exposure minimally impacted mucus microstructure and particle diffusion, but increased E. coli speed in mucus. Moreover, both emulsifiers appeared to alter mucus amount and thickness in rat intestinal tissue and mucus-producing cell cultures. These results indicate that acute exposure to emulsifiers impacts barrier and structural properties of intestinal mucus, modulating interactions between intestinal lumen contents, microbes, and underlying tissue, which may contribute to development of intestinal inflammation.

Abstract
We explored the potential of two types of sorbitan ester nanoparticles (SENS) as novel tools for topical ocular drug delivery. The optimized SENS formulation (SENS-OPT) consisted of nanoparticles (NPs) of 170.5 nm, zeta potential +33.9 mV, and cyclosporine loading of 19.66%. After hyaluronic acid (HA) coating, the resulting SENS-OPT-HA NPs had a particle size of 177.6 nm and zeta potential of -20.6 mV. The NPs were stable during 3 months of storage at different temperatures and did not aggregate in the presence of protein-enriched simulated lacrimal fluid. There was no toxicity to cultured human corneal epithelial (HCE) cells when exposed to NPs up to 0.4% (w/v). Both NPs were effectively internalized by HCE cells through active mechanisms. Endocytosis of SENS-OPT NPs was caveolin-dependent whereas SENS-OPT-HA NP endocytosis was mediated by HA receptors. HA-receptor-mediated endocytosis may be responsible for the higher cellular uptake of SENS-OPT-HA NPs. After cyclosporine incorporation into the NPs, corneal penetration of this immunosuppressive drug by loaded SENS-OPT NPs was 1.3-fold higher than the commercial reference formulation Sandimmun®. For cyclosporine-loaded SENS-OPT-HA NPs, the penetration was 2.1-fold higher than for Sandimmun®. In ex vivo stimulated lymphocytes, both formulations demonstrated the same reduction in IL-2 levels as Sandimmun®.

Abstract
The first committed step in fatty acid synthesis is mediated by acetyl-CoA carboxylase (ACCase), a biotin-dependent enzyme that carboxylates acetyl-CoA to produce malonyl-CoA. ACCase can be feedback regulated by short-term or long-term exposure to fatty acids in the form of Tween 80 (predominantly containing oleic acid), which results in reversible or irreversible ACCase inhibition, respectively. Biotin attachment domain-containing (BADC) proteins are inactive analogs of biotin carboxyl transfer proteins that lack biotin, and their incorporation into ACCase down-regulates its activity by displacing active (biotin-containing) biotin carboxyltransferase protein subunits. Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) lines containing T-DNA insertions in BADC1, BADC2, and BADC3 were used to generate badc1 badc2 and badc1 badc3 double mutants. The badc1 badc3 mutant exhibited normal growth and development; however, ACCase activity was 26% higher in badc1 badc3 and its seeds contained 30.1% more fatty acids and 32.6% more triacylgycerol relative to wild-type plants. To assess whether BADC contributes to the irreversible phase of ACCase inhibition, cell suspension cultures were generated from the leaves of badc1 badc3 and wild-type plants and treated with 10 mm Tween 80. Reversible ACCase inhibition was similar in badc1 badc3 and wild-type cultures after 2 d of Tween 80 treatment, but irreversible inhibition was reduced by 50% in badc1 badc3 relative to wild-type plants following 4 d of Tween 80 treatment. In this study, we present evidence for two important homeostatic roles for BADC proteins in down-regulating ACCase activity: by acting during normal growth and development and by contributing to its long-term irreversible feedback inhibition resulting from the oversupply of fatty acids.

Abstract
The present investigation was to study the effect of different non-ionic surfactants (Tween-80, Tween-60, Tween-40, Tween-20, Triton X-100) and a rhamnolipid biosurfactant on the degradation of fluorene by Paenibacillus sp. PRNK-6. An enhancement in the growth, as well as fluorene utilization by this strain were observed in the presence of biosurfactant and non-ionic surfactants except Tween-20 and Triton X-100. Triton X-100 and Tween-20 were toxic to this bacterium. The strain PRNK-6 utilized 75% of fluorene (280mg/L) in 24h in an unamended condition. On the other hand, the complete utilization of higher concentration fluorene (320mg/L) by this strain was noticed when the medium was amended with Tween-80 (1.5% v/v) within 24h of incubation. Whereas, 90.6%, 96.5% and 96.7% of fluorene (280mg/L) was utilized when amended with Tween-60 (3.5% v/v), Tween-40 (3% v/v) and biosurfactant (25mg/L) respectively. Biosurfactant promoted the fluorene degradation potential of PRNK-6 as 96.2% of 320mg/L fluorene was degraded within 24h. Further, the added tween series surfactants and a biosurfactant have increased the cell surface hydrophobicity of the PRNK-6. Thus correlating with the enhanced degradation of the fluorene.

Abstract
Studies on mice bearing P388 adriamycin sensitive and resistant lymphocytic leukemia were carried out to compare antitumor activity of adriamycin dissolved in Tween 80 (10 % in distilled water) with that of adriamycin dissolved in distilled water alone. The antitumor activity of adriamycin dissolved in acqueous solutions of Tween 80 was higher than that of adriamycin dissolved in distilled water against P388 leukemia sensitive to adriamycin. However, no change in the activity was observed in P388 leukemia resistant to adriamycin when the drug was administered either in acqueous solution of Tween 80 or in distilled water alone.
